electric shower pipe and valve/tap in bedroom wardrobe, where can I move it?
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.53 PM
Edit 2 *** I dont want a pipe, boxed or not with a valve in my wardrobe. Not an unrealistic expectation. I am looking for solutions on where it can be moved to as having it there is not suitable when there are other cupboards it could go into which serve no other purpose.*** Edit 1 ***Looking to move it, not hide it in the same location. It's not in a utility cupboard it is in my bedroom wardrobe where my clothes go. The valve sticks out and limits my options of shelves, rail etc. *** Upstairs bathroom has an electric shower. When you open my bedroom wardrobe, you immediately see a pipe and valve/tap exposed on the back wall and this is for the electric shower and assuming the tap situation is to turn it off in an emergency. If it makes sense, the back wall of my wardrobe is the same wall as where the electric shower is placed in the bathroom. They are on opposite sides of the same wall. I didnt know this when we bought the house, as the wardrobe was full of the owners clothes, hiding the pipe. Im wanting to redo my bedroom wardrobe and this pipe and valve/tap is the biggest hurdle. 1. What are my options for moving the pipe? Heres the options I can think of, unsure if helpful. - Can it go under the the bathroom floor and in a cabinet under the sink? This would be considered when redoing the full bathroom. - My boiler is upstairs in the box room cupboard across the short hall from the bathroom, could it run under the ground in the hall and have the valve/tap in there? - There's a storage cupboard under the stairs, can it run down? Its not directly underneath, but down and left. My staircase has a short landing before turning. Im asking as I'm unsure where it should or can go, I'm assuming also at varying cost. 2. Where does this pipe usually go? I understand it is for easy access to switch it off in an emergency so running upto the loft isnt an option for quick access. 3. Anything further from your side that I have not considered or provided that would help. Thank you.
