Bidet with mixer

Hey guys

I've done plenty of welding but this will be my first copper soldering project and looking for some advice.

I want to install one of these next to the toilet:

and want to put a mixer before it.

I would like to keep the mixer near the toilet. I can take the cold water pipe from the flush and can take hot water from below the sink 2 meters away.

Will this mixer do?:

Are there any cheaper/better alternatives?
Is there a way to mount the mixer to the wall?
I'll have to install a tee under the sink to steal hot water from.
Whats the easiest way to finish this project with minimal pipe cutting/soldering?

Thanks in advance

These can only be installed in very specific circumstances to conform to water regs. My advice, don't bother.

 

Bit more to it than that I`m afraid, use the search box for bidet spray to see previous on this,

 

Yeah very hard and costly to install to regs

 

Thanks for the replys fellas.
I didn't even consider regs!

Am I right in thinking that if its not a commercial property or fitted by a proper plumber, and its for my personal use and nobody elses then I can fit it outside of regs?

Cheers

 

Why don't we have a banging head against wall emoji?

 

Of course you’re not right in thinking that. You clearly have no understanding of what you are considering - not really your fault in a way, these kits should not be sold.
Contaminating the water supply will happen whether you are a proper plumber or not. Don’t do it.

 

No you are not correct.

If you go ahead & install this (without the required air gap) then there is a real risk that you will contaminate your own but more importantly my drinking water mains supply which could kill!!!

Be warned if that happens you will be prosecuted, most likely for manslaughter.

 

You will be fined pro or not. Regs aren’t just nice to haves, it’s not just your mains. You’re talking category 5 water

 

Tough one that, the trouble is, they aren't actually illegal to install. It's more where and how they are installed that make them an issue and that comes down to consumer knowledge.

 

No they aren’t but to flippantly disregard the water regs because you don’t fancy following them is callous to say the least

 

Chris I know what you mean. Trouble is lack of consumer knowledge and integrity, as evidenced by OP.
I’d like to go down the route of only sold through independent merchants, who would use there judgement to only sell to those they know are competent - a bit like how it is with strong drain cleaners now.

 

It’s too difficult to police mate and merchants won’t pass up a sale. We have had this argument so many times re gas products

 

I agree but again it comes down to consumer knowledge. How many D.I.Yers out there actually have any understanding of the water regs? They really need plumbing to be regulated the same as gas.

 

Agreed but again there are too many people that would lose out financially
