My lass has just had a new bath plumbed in and was planning to throw in a power shower. For one reason and another, she has changed her plans and has now decided to run a shower from one of these things.....

My question is - do they make these with a different distances between the taps (if you know what i mean?). Her bath taps are really close together (150mm ish) and none of the ones i've looked at in Argos or similar give out dimensions which leads me to believe there is an industry standard distance between taps. If this is the case then hers are deffo not industry standard. The bath was pre-drilled BTW :p
Does anyone follow this? and can advise?

Brun - not a plumber by trade :D

Just looked on the Pegler site, and industry standard seems to be 180mm centre to centre for inlets.

BUT: even the Pegler range has taps that can be adapted from 140mm to 190 mm centres, those that sort of stand up from the bath.

Best bet is to measure accurately, then ask at a decent Pplumber's merchants.
