I am redoing a bathroom and have stripped out everything except for a new toilet temporarily plumbed in.
Walls are back to the breeze block and brick work. Floor is back to floor board. I plan to tile both the walls and floor.
Walls will either be the marmox type boards or hardie backer board (tanked in shower area). Floor will be probably overboarded with plywood and potentially hardie too.
I have the pipe runs sorted for shower, toilet and basin but now need to adjust the old central heating pipes for a radiator. I will be installing a vertical radiator.
How do I go about working out where the pipes need to go? I have the radiator and valves so know the pipe centres but am not sure of the best approach for planning the distance from the wall.
I can bring the pipes up from the floorboard (like the old installation) or bring them out the wall by channeling into the breeze block. I would prefer to bring them up from the floor ideally; though I can see the advantage of coming out from the wall (determine how high it needs to be and bring out the pipes at the correct centres). If I bring them up from the floor then do I calculate where the final wall will finish (marmox board and adhesive depth plus tile and tile adhesive depth), then calculate depth of radiator (with valve) to wall depth and then plumb in the pipes? Or is there a better way to do it?
Thanks in advance,
Daz
