I note that Screwfix have a special fitting for bar mixers -
somebody else asked about these recently, but I can't recall
seeing
any replies. Does anybody know whether these fittings would
help?

I'm guessing you mean Screwfix item 56419, right? Two components,
one for
each 15mm pipe. I bought this a while ago to fix the wonky mixer
valve a
builder left me with, and it does seem quite good although I have
yet to
actually get round to fix it (on investigation I found further
problems
which need sorting, ie seemingly the builder left me with such
massive
access holes in the plasterboard below the tiles that I've nothing
to attach
the fitting to!)

The chrome 'drums' in the picture unscrew to reveal a steel
fitting beneath
with screw holes etc; and be warned that you need a massive
spanner, of
about 2" across the flats, to fit these things; something Screwfix
don't
mention when you buy it!

Thanks for the info, but I'm still not clear how these work. How do
they connect to the pipework - is that what the big spanner is for?
It also sounds as though they fix to the surface via the
screwholes - this would be OK as I can insert supporting woodwork
when I build attach the plasterboard, but it's not clear what is
behind the fitting and where the pipes attach. Perhaps you could
email me with further details?
