    New bathroom plumbing help please

    Thanks for the feedback Ric, it's really appreciated. I did clip them to the wall and always try to be as conscientious as I can - I'm totally paranoid about leaks which I this is compulsory for a DIYer. (I did the PTFE tape fittings before I read all about that on the forum.) I have even...

    If it's a pressure problem, would it shoot out from the filter valve when I open that? It seems really powerful then. Anyway, it does seem that the thermostatic valve is misbehaving for some reason. I really look forward to seeing how this pans out myself!

    Hi again! After a visit from my friend, he confirmed that pulling out the thermostatic valve was not going to be an easy task. He suggested I switch the hot and cold further down the pipes near the end of the bath where the isolator valves are. Genius! Very happy to report that I managed to...

    For everyone following this thread I have an interesting update! 1. Good news is that I fixed the delay in water flow by watching a YouTube video and turning the check valves when I flushed the pipework. A bit of persistence, trial and error - and not giving up! Woo hoo! (At this point I was...

    Thanks croppie. Some of the help in here has been amazing and I couldn't have plumbed in my kitchen without it. I think that's what I like about plumbing the most. When it goes wrong you seriously know about and and have to find an immediate solution...but when it goes right it's incredibly...

    Honestly, what's the point of having a forum if I'm just going to be told to get an expert in? I discovered I really enjoyed plumbing and as a beginner I thought this would be the place to get some helpful advice. I have always said on my posts that I'm a beginner and honestly I'm really proud...

    Actually, on further reflection I'm not sure how they'd be plumbed in separately as the temperature control works for both shower and bath filling!

    Good point. I'll ask my friend who installed the first one - I'm seeing him tomorrow and see if he can shed some light in the issue. Thanks.

    New bathroom plumbing help please

    So I have exactly the same shower valve mixer in my house in two bathrooms and have used for two years without a single problem. I get that I'm totally new to plumbing and will keep trying until I figure it out but even if the product is not designed for this purpose, there must be a way of...

    Yes, it has a temperature control and two outlets. One for the shower head and one for the bath. I have two of these in my home...both working well. This is the first time I've installed myself though!

    Yes!! Lesson learned. Hopefully I can post good news tomorrow that I've resolved the issue - thanks for all the help!!

    I was just watching a YouTube video out troubleshooting shower valves. Looks like that's what I need to do, thanks. Should this happen on a new fitting or did I miss a step out when installing? Sounds like I might not have to take off my new tiling...yay!
