    Hello, I would like to ask if anyone knows where I can get a wall-mounted bath mixer with a spacing of 14.5 cm? I am asking because I bought it with a distance of 15 cm, but I can't put it with crosswords.

    Thank you greetings

    Look for more pitch cams they used to be.

    The crosswords are 3cm, with the name of the crossword for a larger one will be a problem because I will not twist the old one because the tiles disturb :-( .
    Maybe it could be set at 15cm, but the battery would be crooked on the wall because the outlet pipes are not set at the same height, one is higher and the other is lower.

    The batteries have a standard spacing and I doubt whether a friend will find such a strange spacing. It is the cams that are designed to correct any differences in the approach to the battery, a friend may attach a photo.

    So why does my old one fit and have a distance of 14.5 cm?

    I do not know how old it is, but it is already a lot of years :-) .
    The battery looks like this:

    I am replacing it with a new one because the taps are not holding well anymore or the pressure is low.
    Now I thought that maybe it would be better to replace only the heads with new ones? But will I get all of them, even what's inside?

    Regards

    It is enough to replace the valve seats plus seals or heads and the battery should last a few more years.

    Well, I thought so, but I was replacing the bathtub so I wanted a new battery he he.
    I am already thinking about replacing the heads, but I do not know which one to choose, whether ceramic or slider, and I do not know if I will get such a switch, which is between the knobs.

    You can not get the manifold itself, plastic and brass, but the gaskets are possible. As for the replacement of the head, you will not miss the replacement of the valve seats anyway, because if you have damaged them, the gasket on the ceramic or ordinary head will not help.

    What sockets? I am writing about replacing the entire heads (valves).

    The head is the head and the valve seat is the valve seat. I repeat that replacing only the head may turn out to be unnecessary, if you have a damaged surface on the valve seat, no gasket or replacement of the head will do you any good.

    The valve seat is located just behind the head.

    Well, but it is not possible to replace these sockets and you wrote about replacing sockets :-) .
    There, rather, nothing leaks, only the head is already working badly, it is hard to tighten the water and sometimes the pressure is low.
    Only where it leaks, it is only on the switch.

    Please, write what heads to buy, ceramic or standard?

    Ceramic heads are an interesting solution, but they have a weak point, a Teflon ring which, after some time of use, is the most normal in the world to wear / wear out and you can't get it for the hell and at this point the entire head is thrown away, so it seems that the classic head is more functional for in terms of repair, yes, like every element, it also wears out and needs to be replaced over time. In the ceramic head, to unscrew the tap to 100%, it is enough to turn 90 °, while in the classic head we twist and turn and the effect is not visible.

    Put the faucet on special extensions 3/4 "from the wall and you will get a distance of about 8 cm more from the wall on the spout.

    Sorry, measuring your spout is also 130mm, but I don't know if it makes sense to buy a new one for around PLN 300 or just repair the old one and make it in Retro style :-)

Users also consider replacing only the valve heads instead of the entire unit, weighing the pros and cons of ceramic versus standard heads. The conversation highlights the challenges of fitting new components into existing setups and the potential for retrofitting older models.
