if you are only using the one tap on mixers then yes you will have to blank the other one off, as if you opened both taps, the water would feed from one to the other, or you could split the feed into both taps, get the same from both taps then.
my advise may not be right, but I like to give my 10p worth, and an answer even if wrong is nice to see.

Cool budd how do you upload pics on here so can show you its a brand new bath mixer tap i bought it from the carboot still in the box qiuet a bargain if it works withone pump n feed see i have an old bt water heator in the front so when i get that workin you just set it like central heaton when you want it to come on n water come straight from ther up to my tap thats ze plan ...

copyed this from another thread, (hope i dont get done for copyright :lol: :lol: )

Just do a search for 'photobucket' http://www.photobucket.com & follow instructions for setting up an account. Then follow instructions for copying & pasting. Or How to post Pictures - Photobucket Instructions

by Luke » Sun Nov 20, 2005 7:42 pm

Basic instructions :-
Here goes..................... what i do is go to http://www.photobucket.com open an account its free.
Then create an album,
to add a photo click browse then select the photo from your hard disk or floppy or cd,
when it is in your album it has 3 lines of text underneith it, copy and paste the bottom one - which has these [i m g] tags either side [/ i m g]
that should come up as a photo! make sure there are no spaces as well!!
press preview before submit to check its ok!

but remember not to delete the photo from your album or it will also disapear from here!

Hope that helps

First of all open a second browser window, as you would when you first go onto the internet (keep the one that you have Ford Transit Forum open in, this will help when you want to post your pics) go to http://www.photobucket.com by putting the address in the address bar, not via the link) and sign up for a free account.
You will then be directed to the page for uploading pictures. You can either upload one at a time, or directly under the 'Submit' button there is a drop down menu to select a number to do more than one at once.

To actually upload, click on the 'Browse' button. This will open another window with the pics on your computer in it. Click on the one you want to upload, and then click on 'Open'. This will close the little window and the code for your pic will appear next to the 'Browse' button. Repeat this if you have decided to do more than one at once, then click on 'Submit'. The words *Pictures Added will appear in red above the 'Browse' box.

Scroll down and you will see the pic(s) you have uploaded below, each one with three boxes below it, the bottom one is labled Img. This is the code you need to copy to your post. Click on this to highlight it, then right click and select 'copy' and click on that.

Return to Ford Transit Forum, and open your post. Put the curser where you want the pic to go, then right click and selct 'paste' and the HTML code for your photo should appear on the post! Click on the 'Preview' button and check that the pic will come out before you post ! Then if you are happy, click on 'Submit'!

That's it, you've posted a picture!

Open a second browser page & keep the transit forum page open, then you can keep clicking back to read Luke's instructions slowly a bit at a time. That's how I did it. Its really easy just take your time. I'm dying to see your pics ..

unfortunatly i have never seen the bt water heater you are going to use, so cannot advise much on that, sorry.

the taps should have 2 10mm holes in the base. into then you screw 10mm flexable pipes, or copper that goes from 10mm to 15mm, but the flexy are better.
there should also be a smaller hole ofset to the 10mm ones but in the middle, about 6mm, that has the clamping bolt that holds the taps in place.
my advise may not be right, but I like to give my 10p worth, and an answer even if wrong is nice to see.

if you use a threaded bolt into the other pipe hole to blank it off, then make sure you wrap some pefe tape around the thread first, will help stop it from leaking, as for the camper,no. just an old mk4 transit lwb, but it has been a camper once before, but riped it all out so i could use the van for work, once i have got all the body work sorted i intend to put her back as a camper, but a little different to before.
