A short video explaining how to use Triton's bar mixer fixing bracket for bar mixer showers and wall mounted bath shower mixers.
If you've ever struggled to fit a bar mixer shower or a wall mounted bath shower mixer using standard fittings, you'll appreciate the alternative fittings that Triton offer to make installation easier.
There are two solutions for built-in pipework -- one is using our easy-fit fixing bracket, the other is using our push on fittings.
Alternatively, we offer fittings for exposed pipework.
Here, we'll cover how to use the Triton easy-fit fixing bracket.
It's quick to assemble, adds strength to the pipework and fixes the pipe centres so they're bang on when you come to connect the mixer.
And this bracket only needs 30mm building-in depth from the plasterboard face.
Here's how to put one together and install it in a studded wall.
Just fit the elbows to the bracket using the screws provided.
First of all determine the building-in depth required, taking into consideration the length of elbow that has to show beyond the tiles.
Decide on the shower position and determine whether the hot and cold supplies will enter the bracket from the top or bottom. Secure a batten to the depth required in the stud wall.
As the bracket guarantees 150mm centres. All you need do is place a spirit level on the bracket when you screw it to the batten.
The length of the chrome elbows make the building-in depth of the bracket more flexible. That can be really important if you don't know the tile thickness at this stage.
Complete the pipework to the bracket and tighten the compression fittings on the elbows.
Flush the pipework to clear the system of debris and check for leaks before making good the walls.
After tiling, seal around the fittings to keep them fully watertight. Push-on the chrome trims for a professional finish.
The filters supplied in the box must be fitted. The flow restrictors that are also supplied only need to be fitted on high-pressure systems.
Push fit the sealing washers into the outlets.
Now fit any of Triton's bar mixers by simply tightening the flat face unions on the valve to the bar bracket chrome pipes.
If this bracket isn't right for you then why not take a look at our other videos showing our push on fittings or fittings for exposed pipe work.

Hi James, in response to your question, yes the Triton bar mixer fitting bracket will work with the Triton Tees bar mixer. Hope this helps.
Will this work for the triton tees bar mixer?
Hi Do those sealing washers cut down the pressure? as the holes are smaller than the 15mm pipe? Thank you
Does this bracket do all
Hi, will the easy fit bracket accept 15mm copper pipe for the inlet?
Hi, thank you for your enquiry, sorry for the delay in responding. Yes, all of Triton's fixing bracket options will accept 15mm pipework.
Advice needed please. I have used a similar bracket but I don't think the threads were as long. When I put 9mm plaster board and 10mm aqua panel on I'm not left with enough thread to take the chrome trims that came with the shower valve even though I installed it as far forward in the stud work as possible. Anyone know if you can buy thinner chrome trims please? I might have to try and trim the standard ones down if they aren't available.
The chrome trims on our built in bar bracket are fairly shallow at 12mm. Fitting instructions for the bar fixing bracket can be downloaded on the Triton website to confirm suitability.
hi i've got my shower fixed however i don't know how to get rite temperature of water pls can you tell how can we control water temperature??
Don't see how the installation is flexible regarding the unknown depth of the tiling ?
For example, if the tiling is thin, you will see more of the chrome tails sticking out, the bar will sit further away from the wall. If the tiling is on thick then you will see less of the tails and the bar will be closer to the wall. Either way the fitting will look correct. It will still need to fitted within tolerances though, otherwise there may not be enough of the tails to fit the concealing caps.
