Are 15mm inlet pipes okay for this?

Hi all. I'd appreciate if anyone can tell me whether this shower will work with the two 15mm pipes (150mm centres) I have coming out of my wall? Thanks.

According to the installation instructions:

https://victoriaplum1.global.ssl.fastly.net/product_downloads/169410e7-ac3a-4cf6-967b-0e2b303a2a4f.pdf

the inlets are '15mm compression at 153mm centres', which is the same size as your existing pipes but with a 3mm difference on the centres. So, it's not going to be a plug-and-play installation, assuming you measured '150mm' accurately and there is no 'play' on the existing pipes.

Many thanks. I haven't tiled yet so still have plenty of play on the pipes.

That model uses a lot of water, so you'll need to think about whether your supply has the capacity to drive it. Also, if you have teenagers, you'll need a second mortgage to pay the water bill.

Thanks. This is boiler and cylinder, hoping it's okay?
