Morning all
I'm in the midst of fitting a new bath/shower mixer using new flexible ones eith isolating valves to replace the old copper ones.
A friend has advised me not to have these in a straight line and if possible to have a loop whivh now I've come to fit them doesn't seem right at all?
Shirley straight down with a bit of a gentle bend is ok?
Thanks all 🙂
Did he give a reason? I can't think of any.
I've never had one fail after fitting it as you describe.
If anything, I would have thought that a tight loop in a flexi tap connector would significantly increase the chance of it rupturing.
I can see no need for a loop either and its not what i did with mine [ not a plumber]
He said it was to help avoid splitting but just didn't seem at all right when I dummied it up.
Think I'll stick with a gentle bend.
Thanks all 🙂
