Re: how to open this shower tap

Hi @harman89,

 

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

 

If you have a look around the base of the tap handle, there should be a small grub screw, which will require an allen key to remove.

 

Once located and removed, the tap handle should pull off, revealing the mixer cartridge. 

 

The mixer cartridge would then need to be removed along with the cover plate and rest of the tap.

 

Let me know how you go and if you have trouble locating the grub screw, please upload some photos showing underneath the tap handle so I can assist further.

Re: how to open this shower tap

Hi @harman89,

 

I can't see any issues installing a shower base in this area, but as this is plumbing work that would require the assistance of a licensed plumber, I would suggest speaking with a plumber to ensure everything is good to go ahead.

 

There will also be requirements for waterproofing, so it would be best to speak with a waterproofer as well. They will be able to advise you if there are any things you would need to consider before installing the shower base.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello @harman89 

 

Is the aluminium angle part of a larger assembly? Do you have a shower installation plan in mind? Before you install anything in your shower, I propose speaking to a shower installer to make sure that your installation is safe and up to code. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
