wall mounted bath filler

[Richiej]

I have been sold and assured will work a wall mounted shower mixer valve
be used to fill a bath and been assured will be OK even when I pointed out that the inlet and outlets are all 15mm. the cold system seems to work Ok off the mains pressure but the gravity fed hot from the tank on the same floor in the airing cupboard now trickles out and would take forever to fill the bath.
I have used 22mm were possible but obiously need stepping down to go thru the valve. would a specific BATH filler mixers be 22mm feeds?
also because its a "shower" valve have had to install upsidedown which now turns on pushing lever towards wall not towards you as normal. (lever itself can be fitted up either way)
Have I been done ??

like a kipper m8,

the valve you are showing is a 'deva' or 'swirl' or simmular?.
with a flow rate of about 6 litres per minuite at 0.2 bar if it is 'not' thermastatic.
therefore it whould take 20 minuites to fill a bath est.
why on earth whould you want a shower valve for the purpose of running water to fill up the bath in the first place?.

I didn't specifically want a shower valve just a switching/mixing valve to be neat and tidy set into wall. I was told that this type, if inverted to feed down to the bath ( instead of up to the shower head) would be suitable. As you say "like a kipper"
Any suggestions as to suitable one? possibly similar in looks to the one above to match taps. Bathstore had big windows and saw me coming. OOOOPs did I say the company name ?
thanks for any further help.

belive nothing that scumbag salesmen tell you ive got a similar set up but ive got mains preasure on both hot and coldworks fine
mine actually feeds a spout to basin and overflow filler to bath as i have a seperate mira shower over one end of the bath

Thats exactly what i'm heading towards. seperate Salamander pump in airing cupboard runs 2 seperate showers and hot and cold gravity fed bath filler working thru this wall valve. all connected now just need to turn on the taps tomorrow to test before tiling over pipes in wall. I've left suitable pipe work accessable under bath should i need to divert to another single vane pump for hot only at later date. If i get fed up waiting for bath to fill ???

You would have to pump both hot and cold to your bath filler or the pressures won't balance and the mixer won't work.
