Thanks John,

Great ascii art...I had seen this described on uk.diy some months ago
but was worried about flow rate through the 22mm to the pipe as its
internal cross section is reduced by the presence of the 15mm pipe to
the shower.

Has anyone tried this and obtained reasonable flow rates to the hot
taps (eg bath)?


Best read what I wrote, and use compression fittings, you don't force pipes
past pipe stops on fittings. If the tapping on the top of the cylinder is
1" BSP, then a 1" BSP x 22mm x 22mm tee can be used. Then reduce to 15mm at
the top of the tee (the shower take off). The tee off to the bath is then
22mm so full flow to baths. Using a 22mm tee and running a 15mm through it
will obviously reduce flow.
