Reducing pipe size for shower

[aljenks]

Hi, this is my first post here. I am fitting a shower mixer valve and need to run the hot and cold pipes in the wall. The wall has been plasterboarded ready for tiling and behind it there is a plastered bricked wall. My question is if I reduced the pipe size down from 15mm to 10-12mm for the pipes running in the wall will this make much of a difference on the shower head pressure? It will be running off a combi boiler system.

Thanks
Alex

hi. to be sure , contact the manufacture of the shower valve and their technical department will tell you.

keep them at 15mm. if there going in the wall you need to cut in to the wall anyway so use the right size
