Ibox2, RP fittings?

[Super_Paulie]

Just about to rough fit my iBox2. The manual states the connection is RP 1/2, is that just a normal half inch fitting? Never heard of anything labelled RP before so just thought I'd check what you guys with experience think.

Standard 1/2" BSP, parallel threads.

Yup. 
 

Hep2o do a pushfit 15mm x 1/2” male BSP, or you can get the same in compression.

Not the best photo, but I can't find anything better - this is push-fit (Flomasta I think) 22mm x 3/4" BSP male in the iBox. Worked really well.

Yup. iBox’s to date have mostly been 3/4”, which I fit a 3/4 x 1/2” bush into, then a 15mm x 1/2” male adaptor.

 

Not used 22mm on a shower for a long time, and that was a Chinese monster shower / steam cubicle thing with 30 odd jets and a 16” rainfall head; fed from gravity and a 3bar 22mm Stuart Turner twin impeller pump.

 

Shower internals and shower heads etc can only cope with so much lpm flow rate & pressure, done some where the rubber nozzles start popping out

It's a bath filler.
