    Default Convert separate cold/hot shower to single level type

    I saw a new product in the Handyman mag which converts separate hot & cold water taps into a single lever type shower tap. It has 2 inlets, each of which goes to each (hot & cold) tap, and the single shower control lever then takes control and it then acts as if you had a single lever tap.

    Just wondering if anyone has tried it yet, how much $$ and any feedback on whether it's good??

    It is essentially a mixer, but one which you can plonk onto existing showers where you already have 2 taps on the shower wall. It has a swivel adapter to allow for different width spacings between the existing taps. I will check the mag and post the details later.

    ok. have checked. it's an aussie product.

    Manufacturer is Quoss. Product is "reno transformer series".

    There is a website http://www.quoss.com.au/quoss%20innovation_Reno.htm
    but it doesn't show the joint as clearly as the advert in the mag.
    They advertised it as "available in Bunnings", but the branch I visited didn't seem to have it (and it's hard to get hold of sales staff when you want them).

    Not seen one, but from the website it looks fine. An easy option so long as the price is not too high. If you really want to get a modern look, ceramic cartridge etc all without touching wall or tiled surfaces it looks the go.

    To convert otherwise would need a plumber, the existing fittings would have to be removed, access gained to the mountings behind the wall, new fittings installed and re tiling etc. Not all that hard if you know how, but a relatively expensive and small job and you are paying for plumber's time as well as new fittings (and more of them).

    So this option sure looks viable.
