Non standard mixer tap 160mm inlet centres

[Bibilapetite]

Hello

i need to replace a leaking tap on an old bath. The inlet centres are 160mm apart and I'm struggling to find a suitable mixer. Does anyone know of a supplier? I have tried eBay, Amazon, Plumbworld etc. Almost all seem to be standard 180mm and the distance isn't searchable on the sites which basically means clicking through on every single one and going into the data to check, if available.

Cost is a significant consideration and I don't really care what it looks like as long as it doesn't leak.

Thank you!

Bibi

hi welcome to the forums. i would think you need something with adjustable legs like this

you can fit the legs either way so that they lean in or out

If the above is a no go you could always use x2 single bath taps, does mean you lose the ability to have a shower hose on their though.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

that is another option

another option if you have no other choice is blank the one and fit a bath mono mixer with shower.

Thank you Steve B, the adjustable route seems to make most sense as it would be better to be able to attach a shower head to the mixer tap.

Can I buy any legs and any tap? Is any tap with legs automatically adjustable?

Thanks a lot!

AWheating, how does that work please? Can I still have hot and cold water?

Lots like this about https://www.tapsandshowers-direct.c...r-mixer-tap/?gclid=CKWOn7y_yboCFU_HtAodrm4Aig

They have cranked legs so centres are fully adjustable between the min andomax

Thanks Plumbstar, really useful and looks like a good deal for that tap.
