scottish regs

[richardbcampbel]

Hi, just want to know if you can use globe style taps in a bath with the level of the taps lower than the overflow providing double check valves are used as this is what i believed to be the case but have now been told this is not the case any more, anyone know for sure?

am i reading this correct you want to put a tap that falls below the overflow? if thats the case then deffo no, all taps are made to standards (AUK) Basically airgap, to stop contamination and stuff, ive sourced the scottish Water regs, take a look and see if it helps
