Hi Everyone,
I’m after a mixer to replace the hot/cold knobs in my shower.
I have found this conversation:
but I’m not quite sure if I can use the existing exit flex coming out of the wall (preferred) or if I have to seal that and use the exit on the new mixer unit.
Thank you
Hi @MartinB84,
Thank you for your question about replacing the hot and cold taps for your shower with a mixer.
Physically you can use the Quoss Reno Transformer Freestyle Shower Full Set which @EricL has mentioned in How to change shower taps to shower mixers, but it is not a practical solution in your situation for two reasons.
Due to the orientation of the inwall pipes, you will end up with an awkward set-up where the hose runs from the current location of the taps to the water supply point.
The second reason this would be awkward is that the top of the shower rail, which is the upper limit that the shower head can be raised to, attaches to the current water supply point, which doesn't look like it would be above head height.
Unfortunately, if you want to change your taps to a mixer, you're going to need to alter the pipes, which will require the assistance of a licenced plumber.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Jacob
