permanently dripping shower mixer

[stevejd58]

I have a leaking shower that drips constantly. (image attached)
I can't seem to find the manufacturer as the names on the tap are common to many brands and Google was of little help
I'm told it is an exposed sequential shower of some 20 years + in age and in all probability from a long dead product line/company.

My question is concerns replacement, Are the pipe tails/connections set at a universal spacing or are they specific to the brand of mixer valve?

Knowing this I can begin shopping for a replacement

Most shower valves are 150mm centers.
For the odd ones that are different we use the Bristan mini that copes with pipe centers from 110mm to 155mm.

finally got back to this after completing more critical jobs.
I think this was originally provided by Heritage Bathrooms
the shower above seems to have 105mm centres and what looks like a standard compression fitting (correct me if I'm wrong).
Can any one advise on suitable replacements with 105mm centres? I'd rather not if I can help it, have to retile the bathroom.

How accurate is your measuring!!

Mira miniduo is 110 mm centres….

You may find that once you have removed the old valve you have a bit of wiggle room on the pipes - or can create some with a minor bit of excavating around the pipes.

Hmm, hadn't thought of that, I suppose 2.5 mm wiggle on both pipes should work.
It's the connections that worry me as it looks like a nut and olive on the pipe ends rather than the nuts being on the mixer.

Yeah that’s the same as miniduo, why I suggested it.
