    If multiple mixer taps may be getting cold going back up the hot

    Can you just put a non return valve on the hot under the combi where it comes out? Rather than put one on the hot pipe to each and every tap? Or is that no-no for some reason? Ta

    replace thermostatic mixer shower valve (mains pressure unvented system boiler system)

    With a thermostatic mixer showers, can you replace the unit, in a mains pressure unvented system boiler configuration, by just turning the cold mains off at the stopcock when the water supply enters the property? Will the hot and cold water stop flowing if you turn the mains water off?

    Shower mixer valve advice please.

    I need to replace an old Sirrus 1850 shower mixer valve with a more uptodate mixer bar. Problem is that the hot feed is on the right and the mixer bars I've seen ask for the hot feed to be on the left. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks in advance for any replies.

    I’m installing a new shower bar mixer using a fixing kit which means I have to drill into the tile each side of the pipes to install the bracket. I do not want to hit a pipe, what’s the best way of doing it?

    My hot water supply from our Altherma unit is fine but our shower is almost cold. Is it possible that the filter on the hot water inlet he's become blocked - they do recommend cleaning every 12 months and our has been there for five years. I have found an instruction to do this HERE but cannot...

    Installing New Mixer Tap & Valves

    Hi, I'm installing a new mixer tap in my kitchen. The current setup doesn't have any isolation valves so was thinking I'd cut the pipe, install a couple of flat faced isolation valves and then screw the flexi's into that. My question is, should I be using PTFE on the threads, joining compound on...

    Shower mixer failure - replace or fix?

    On bad advice our builder installed a no brand/cheap built in shower mixer in our new bathroom 5 years ago. It has stopped working - and the water is almost impossible to adjust to the right temperature - and changes temp when other taps in the house are turned on/off. We have been told that...

    Bath mixer

    I have what appears to be a little used bath taps/mixer with shower outlet, without connecting it all up, I notice the collar that obviously diverts the flow to a shower head, does not stay in place when pushed down. Would this be different when connected and with water pressure, or is it...

    Kitchen mixer taps (lifespan/brands/prices/variants)

    My kitchen mixer tap (Franke Zurich) has developed a drip. Presumably the cartridge (hot) has started to wear out. It is one that I replaced about 3 and half yrs ago for the same reason (not sure how old its predecessor was as we inherited it). Doesn't seem a particularly great lifespan, but I'm...

    Bar mixer shower replacement issue

    My mixer bar shower gave up the ghost on its thermostatic mixer valve, so the water wouldn't heat up. I was advised to replace the mixer bar so I got a Briston Frenzy. It requires me to screw in a mounting plate over the existing pipes. However, the previous installed mounts are directly...
