Hi Guys, I am actually a qualified Sparky but have done a little bit of plumbing in my own house (Replacing Sinks, Bath etc) but have now decided I would like a shower in my bathroom.
I have an Ideal Isar boiler which is situated directly behind a plasterboard wall in my bathroom, I have checked the pressure on it and it shows as just under 1.5.
The hot feed from it is a 22mm copper pipe and the cold seems to be 15mm.
I have been looking at a Combi Pressure Balancing shower as I don't want an electric shower and instead would prefere a 'Rain Head' type with a wall mounted mixer tap.
Can I just cut the hot & cold outlets directly under the boiler, insert Yorkshire tees ( 1 @ 15mmx15mmx15mm, and one at 22mmx22mmx15mm) to re connect them and then take a pair of 15mm copper pipes directly to the mixer tap (Which goes through the bathroom wall and comes out directly next to the boiler?
Can this be done and if so is 1.5 bar enough pressure to create a good flow?
Many Thanks in advance
