Hi all,
First post here. Ive been reading around the forums a lot lately and have been very informative! I think i know the answer to my question here but just want confirmation.
We are redoing our bathroom and relocating the bath. Currently the cold water supply (mains fed) is a 15mm pipe tee'd off to the bath then steps up to 22mm so the plumber who installed the bath originally could use a 22mm to 3/4" flexi on the tap. This i was just going to do away with the 22mm when i extend the pipe and run it all in 15mm to a 15mm-3/4" flexi.
The hot tap is another matter. The hot supply to the bath was originally run in lead pipe and has been connected to a very small length of 22mm copper with a lead locker again when the bath was changed years ago. Again, i think the only reason the 22mm was used was because the plumber only had 22mm-3/4 flexes in his van! Will i be ok to go from the lead locker in 15mm straight to the tap same as I'm planning to do with the cold feed?
Hot water is fed from a Wocester combi boiler so mains fed and the hot water feed from the boiler is 15mm so i don't see any need for any 22mm pipe in the hot water supply but just wanted to be sure before i start!
Thanks!
