Shower problems! 65mm between hot & cold feeds

[The Plumber Guy]

Hi all,

Generally I'm used to shower feeds being 150mm apart center to center but I've just been to look at one where they're only 65mm apart. The cold (mains fed) is fine but the hot (cylinder fed) won't turn off when the shower is stopped.

Have any of you heard of this before and can anyone advise what to do?

Many thanks

I am trying to replace a Croydex H2O Venturi shower. It has 65mm centres. Can anyone refer me to any type of mixer valve that can be installed with 65mm centres? Or a kit that might help to offset the pipe centres distance from 150mm (standard) to 65mm? I have looked at the replies in the above posts but cannot find any of the ones mentioned. Ideally I want a mixer that can accept mains pressure cold, with hot water that is gravity fed assisted by a pump. If I cannot find one, then I will need to open the wall and rearrange the pipework with a standard 150mm centre.
