Calling all plumbers

[macten]

Hi guys,

On a bathroom job and familiarising myself with all the fittings and fixtures and noticed a problem but not sure if
I'm being dumb.
The kit is from victoria plumb and the bar mixer has the microphone shower head on a flexible hose coming out the bottom and a head riser system coming out the top. Problem is that the thread coming out the top of the mixer is too wide for the captive nut at the base of the riser system. Was thinking at first that a diverter valve was missing but it looks like it's built into the mixer (has a little pic of the small and large shower head on the flow control)
Can anyone help? - will be contacting VP tomorrow, just want to make sure I'm not making a schoolboy error.

Cheers

Hi Macten

I seem to recall having this problem a while back with Victoria Plumb riser diverter kit and I can't recall for sure how i got over it, i was thinking i was going to have to get a chrome bush of similar to make the fittings work.
Casting my mind back i think there might have been a grub screw holding the female back nut in place which could be removed, or the male thread coming out of the bar valve itself could be removed from valve and flipped over to reduce it to 1/2 inch. in fact i'm sure thats what i did.

hope that helps

Gary
