Fitting service valves to mixer shower

[xantia]

Hi,
i'm going to be installing a new mixer shower fitted to a marflow pl8 fixing plate but manufactores state that isolating valves should also be used incase of maintenance or servicing, my problem is where to fit them, the pipework will be in the brickwork then tiled over and the bathroom floor will also be tiled so no access and shower tray fits flush to floor.
Does any one make fixing plates with isolating valves incorporated.

fit them somewhere where the pipework is accessable.

Wherever you fit them, put in full-bore valves or you may end up with a very poorly performing shower

If you are feeding from the loft fit the valves in the roof space.
As said make sure they are full bore valves even if you use gate valves do check them first because some of these have restricted flow.

I've never seen a fixing plate iso valve.
