plumbing differences
Hi everyone, I'm about to sign up for my house near Nerja....oooooeerrr!!!
Anyway, I'd like to change the fittings in the house in the bathrooms etc.,
What's the difference between english and spanish plumbing gear please,
should I buy it in uk and transport or is there a good place nearby?
I think it mat be more expensive in Spain, would really appreciate your input folks. Thanks.

Re: plumbing differences
Thank you for that, I must be looking in the posh shops, it seemed very expensive for bathroom fittings and they were the same make as B and Q sell, can't think of the trade name at the moment.

Re: plumbing differences
Much easier to get it all in Spain. The stuff Leroy merlin sells is fine, tho as always, cheap is twice dear.....

Re: plumbing differences
Providing you are not mixing imperial and metric there shouldn't be a problem.
At least, that's my experience from the rebuilds and reforms I've done in the last few years!
However, having said all that, I would buy in Spain to answer the original question.

Mine that I brought from UK certainly did fit!

Also did you bring floor outlet pans or did you multiquick them ?

Re: plumbing differences
probably the fixtures and fitting could be the same as the UK, providing that the pipes are standard - thats the problem with spanish plumbing, nothing is standard LOL.... and once you get passed the fixtures and fitting and into the "nitty gritty" of the pipework etc ....... anything goes - or not!!!

Re: plumbing differences
Now I understand, it's a case of suck and see, have different bits available and hopefully at some point it works!!! Thank you everyone, I think I shall take some fittings from here, buy some in Spain and keep my fingers crossed that the hubby can work it all out (along with lots of tea).
