Shower options
Guys,
I have moved into a new house and there is just a bath - no shower, its a roll top bath with a set of telephone taps (the kind with a shower hear
attached and a lever to set the flow to bath or shower)
Im sure i have seen some contraption that comes as part of a set of taps like these that involves having a metal tube cimong out the back of the taps
and running up to terminate in a shower rose, kind of a free standing shower.
What are these systems called becasue i cant see anything on the net like it and it becoming a pain in the ass having to have a bath all the time!
Cheers
ATB

Something like this??
If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!

sounds like you want mixer or thermostatic mixer taps with shower attachment do a search on mixer or thermostatic mixer, plumbworld is quite a good
site to look at the range.

I have the same problem, as our bath is gravity feed on the hot and cold you don't need a thermostatic valve.. As the bath has a mixer tape with
a shower outlet at the top, all i intend to do is attach some chrome plated copper pipe straight up to a shower rose.. Job done (well except all the
tilling I need to do but that's a different problem!!

Without a thermostatic valve, expect to be scalded whilst taking a shower if someone should turn on a cold tap or flush a toilet.
