Swapping shower

[WaterTight]

Not swapping with the same brand or model but looks near identical and is correct for the system. It has the same centres as the original, compression connections like the original and the feeds come through from an airing cupboard with decent access and good sized tails (with play - they are off flexi's from the pump) if for some reasons I need to muck about with tails.

I'm thinking pretty straightforward then. Am I right in thinking the only nuisance might be if the fixings for the next shower valve bracket do not co-incide with the old but are so close to the old ones that you end up making the original holes into one big hardly usable hole?

Any tips for this - or any other unforeseen problem I've not thought of..

Looks straight forward, cant you just disconnect the old shower and hook up to the new one,

Did one like this the other day, undid two compression nuts new shower on tighten got paid went home, shame there not all like that!

Pretty sure there's usually a backplate thing that fixes to wall. But apart from that I think there shouldn't be anything else to it yeah. Just checkin'...

My fingers are crossed that it is just that easy for you....... heres hoping.

Hi watertight. Looks like a nice and easy one. Wouldn't worry too much about the fixings even if you have to move or make holes bigger as it looks like you have a nice stud to screw into. Good luck with it, mate.

your doing to much thinking even if holes are close just fill then with wood sliverss

I'm a thinkaholic and worryaholic. Did it this afternoon. Piece of the proverbial.
