Pocster Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I’ve got these nice stand pipes for the free standing bath taps . Due to bathroom re arrangements I can’t take the pipe feeds through the floor because of ufh . I *could* chop out the screed - find the ufh and drill holes for the pipes through that - but that might be asking for trouble !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Sell 'em? Might sweeten the deal on the walk on glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been coughing today and I read Corona virus was caused by 5g and can spread through online forums ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Looked at this today . ummmm ‘d and ahhhhhh ‘d Don’t feel brave enough to break the screed avoiding ufh to get pipe work through - feels like a suicide mission . As the stand pipes are largely not visible with a bath in front - will just build a box so water pipes can enter from the back and never break through the floor .

ProDave Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 How about a wall mounted bath filler rather than floor standing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just I’ve bought the stand pipes and taps . I assume standard taps can’t be converted to wall mount ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be done, but requires some application and a major degree of bloodymindedness. Your adventures are just beginning. I bought taps designed for those basin-on-top washbowls, which turned out to look like Peter Crouch in a crowd of gymnasts when installed on a normal washbasin, and had to be put in storage for the next 3 kitchens I do.

F Think ‘box’ on the floor behind the bath is the solution . These are nice roper Rhodes taps - so not for a rental !! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 The the floor mounted tap on a box might then look too high over the bath......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Decided to go with the box approach . Assume the pipes are cutable to suit height of bath anyway ? CT1 timber to floor as ufh underneath . Some tees on hep20 so pipe can go up through stand pipes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Ok - they’re not cut able as threaded both ends . Don’t understand how a water supply fits to this ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Ah ! They supplied me ‘deck’ rather than pillar - no wonder I was confused !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 This is what I recognise as a floor standing bath filler. It screws to the floor with 2 flexi tails emerging from the bottom that are connected below. That would work with your little raised platform. You can't cut it to length, it is the length is is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I’m sure I’ve got the wrong tap set as there’s no flexi hoses or any way of connecting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
