Shower I fitted today

The customer has a bearded collie that loves muck and is always needing a shower off. Inside is a TMV3 valve with a lever valve after it to isolate in the winter. The TMV has single check valves on the inlet and this is the lowest point on the hot water system so this is sufficient to prevent backflow. The cold is mains fed through a pressure reducing valve so I've fitted another single check before the PRV to provide the required DC protection. Took me about 3 hours to fit, mainly because the plumbing under the sink inside was done by a kitchen fitter and all push fits so I really struggled doing up the compression couplings with it all waving about. There was a nice pair of flexis on the tap as well.

Love it. The ideas us good plumbers come up with to help our clients is second to none

Good effort there.

Same price as TMV2 valve and the TMV3 was in stock. At £32 plus VAT, cheaper than a shower and it doesn't need to be client adjustable.

Brilliant job, well thought out too. You should take the pic and go round all the stables, farms and kennels.

Will turn a blind eye to those flexis though!
