Shower body jets

[MOSSEP]

Hi,

Just plumbing in a shower with body jets, don't really do many bathrooms so unsure on the best way of piping them up so that they all receive equal water flow.

Does this look ok, or is a change needed? To me it doesn't look like it will work correctly.




The image is on its side for some reason, not sure how to change that!

May I ask why compression backplates and not soldered ?? And if that's what the mi spec for looks ok

Might of done the main drop in 22mm tho

As above but I would also have put them in parallel and used a pressure balancing loop. Having said that depending on the flow rate from the heads it may be fine as you have them.

It will be ok as long as you have the required flow rate and pressure as stated in the MI's.

The heads will be set flows at a minimum pressure, so as long as you can achieve greater than the minimum, it will be fine

Cheers,

I did think that they would have a maximum flow rate through them, but the client has supplied them and the paperwork doesn't say anything other than that they need 1 bar minimum. They are from Victoria Plumb, not sure on quality from there so hopefully they are ok.

As for compression wall plate elbows, it was all that the wholesaler had in, didn't fancy a long drive hunting around for end feed! The shower valve itself only has 1/2" connections so was no point in upping to 22mm.

You do know you can solder compression back plates on
