Replacing taps on pre-metric era bath

Posted by Mark Berkeley, on
I'd like to replace individual taps with a mixer unit. The bath is pre-metric. Will metric mixer fittings be compatible?

Mark, Yes they will fit into a bath and existing Tap Connectors under the bath. What you need to do is measure the centre of existing holes to each other has a standard gap is 180mm Centres. If the tap holes are different then you will need to get a Bath Mixer Tap that can adjust to the width that currenty the tap holes are cut.
