  • @jonny-yc1kz
    @jonny-yc1kz 10 месяцев назад +3

    good rescue, one question why did you put the control knob in the wet zone, aren't you better off putting in a location where you won't get that initial splash of cold when you reach in to the controller. I've installed a couple of these are put the controller opposite end of the 'wet zone'

    Love the video, Great, save with the wall plate! One thing I’d like to know though, why is it plumbers always fit the controls to the far side of the bath or cubicle, so you always get a wet arm when you switch it on? The cleaners at Premier Inn Love it, They always position the shower nozzle so you get it straight in your face 😢

    I had one of those fitted four months ago ( in the attic ) it makes a right racket, then you switch the lights on and the fan comes on, you can't hear yourself think. Plumber says " that's how it is " with a shrug of his shoulders.

    Cool and all but shouldn't he do something about sharp edges and corners of the plate he bought? And he put silicone around the hole in the wall... ok, but he didn't put anything around the edges? So original part has gasket (100%) of some sort so blob of silicone around the hole is not even really necessary but now there is nothing around the edges so there will be water constantly behind that plate. Humid, warm, dark place...
