Shower with 200mm pipe centres

[nickpowell77]

Hi - I recently posted to see if anybody could identify my mizer shower but nobody can, so I need to buy a new one ( Thanks to those who replied.

However, I have another problem ... the pipe centres are 200mm, so I need to find a replacement shower with 200mm centres but I can't find any other than reclaimed mixers which cost c£1k.

Can anybody help?

Thanks, Nick

You're on a sticky wicket with that one I'm afraid, and it's going to be expensive whatever you do. Only shower I can think of with 200mm centres is the Aqualisa Aquatique Thermo Exposed, which is actually 198mm centres but I'm sure you'll have 2mm of play on the pipes. A quick browse of Google Shopping reveals a best price of £594.08 inc VAT for the complete shower here http://www.ergonomicdesigns.co.uk/5..."_Drencher_Head_500.10.01_551.01&cat=237.html
or £464.10 for the valve only here http://www.paramountbathrooms.co.uk/acatalog/Aquatique_exposed_with_drencher_head.html.

You may be lucky and find that the new valve fits your old head and riser, but check before you order! You may also have some success in reducing the price by buying the riser kit with drencher head, and valve seperately, even from the same supplier. In theory you should still end up with a complete shower, just in two boxes instead of one.
