Read above if the system has balanced hot and cold pressures as yours does there is no problem with a kitchen mixer tap. You have checked with us and the project to my mind is absolutely fine now.Hi and thank you all for your great insight. I have a new combi boiler (gas) pressure is at the 1.2 bar and the water is fed via the mains supply for both hot and cold.
I thought I would get as much information as possible as the bathroom is being upgraded next week and I don't want to pay someone to come back and redo anything. The workmen said they would install isolation valves and flexi hose pipes to the copper ones and install a thermostatic shower with mixer taps for the bathtub and basin, therefore I won't require check valves unless I am mistaken.
Lastly my kitchen tap is going to be replaced with a lever mixer tap, should I get a double check valve and isolation valve installed on the one kitchen pipe under the sink as their is only one pipe connected to the tap?
Worry not ....and when its finished let us know how you got on
please...feed back is nice 👍. centralheatking
