Hello
My current bar mixer has the temp control on the left and the on/off control on the right, the hot inlet is on the left and the cold is on the right. I have to replace this mixer in the near future but I can only find a mixer that has the inlets and controls in reverse to mine. Would it be ok to "swap" the inlets around (flexi pipes) to suit a new mixer ?? I hopeyou understand my drivel !!
Many thanks

You are proposing to swap the pipes around in the wall to match the new one yes?

If so, cant see a problem (Unless they are buried in the wall.)
Make sure you dont kink the pipe though.

Pipework is behind a "Shower Cabin" in my bathroom and there is no problem in pulling the cabin away from the wall to gain access to the pipes (with my son - in - law's help of course !!)Thanks for the prompt answer.

Yes... swap away fbg.

Nothing to do with that, but when you order the mixer, make sure it's one that will work with your Hot/Cold system.
For a combi boiler, you'll need a mixer that works with high pressure supplies.

Most of them are now, but I thought I should mention it.
(I'm assuming it will be a thermostatic mixer?)

Evenin ' !! Yes it is a thermostatic mixer but we don't have a combi boiler, we have a Vaillant condensing boiler. We also have a Stuart Turner shower pump that works brilliantly. Thanks for your response.

Hiya fbg.
That explains where you get the high pressure on the Hot side from.
Those pumps are excellent with a "gravity" system :o)))
