I'm confused about thermostatic bath shower mixers

Yip, I think that's what I need.

I've found this which I think is really streamlined looking but I'm not sure if wet hands would be able to turn it easily, simply because there's no protrusions. I like the look though.



I also found a fairly plain spout which wasn't too long, but I have no idea how a deck mounted shower thing would join up to all of this. I'm assuming the plumber would have to route loads of extra pipework.

I wish plumbing sites would show suggested 'route diagrams' to show us lesser mortals how all thisng fit together behind the scenes. Some electrical sites do that with wiring diagrams.....so I dont see how an example diagram couldn't be shown for plumbing. :rolleyes:

Good morning: have you asked the plumbers you've had in?. Pick their brains/ask them to explain how it all fits together etc. They would be best placed to advise as they have been on site and know you

Unfortunately they are not.

They are young lads just starting out and whilst they are good at their work, their product knowledge is limited. They will be making it up as they go along. :rotfl:They tell me to pick what I want (within the realms of what will work with my plumbing/boiler) and they will make it all fit.

That said, I am very happy with the standard of work done by the plumbers, everything is so neat (and leak free! ) so the lack of product knowledge or suggestion is a small price to pay.

Hi...an ideal opportunity for them to develop their customer services skills and expand their knowledge base (via a tame customer;))... the sooner they able to do more then 'just plumbing' the more successful and versatile they will be in a tough economic climate.

Conversely, don't hesitate to contact manufacturers directly as a 'civilian' for info and advice.
