Default Dead simple plumbing/hot water question

Not on single hole monoblocks, their just ain't the space. This bath
filler is feed via 15mm tube into the base. It'll have 22mm for
everything but the last few inches mind including full bore "service"
valves. The basin filler has 10mm tails.

Boundary Bathroom do do some kitchen stuff as well. The simple act of
buying a tap isn't quite as simple as first appears. Lots of things to
take into consideration and then you have to find the relevant data from
the makers, which sometimes isn't easy. Also low pressure systems are a
bit of a UK peculiarity, a lot of "designer" taps from the continent are
HP only.

All this isn't a problem, provided you go in with yoru eyes open and with
solutions for the possible problems in mind, if you *really* must have
*that* tap.
