Join Jerry Whiteley, CIPHE Technical Manager as he explores this important topic, sharing key insights and regulatory guidance.
Douche valves and bidets have grown in popularity, along with toilet seat adaptions. Bidets have skipped a generation of plumbers/bathroom fitters with their knowledge and the Douche valve is relatively new in the UK.
The impact we are seeing is incorrectly installed equipment in breach of theWater Fittings Regulations in England and Wales and the increased risk of water contamination.
What installers will learn:
- The difference between a Douche valve and bidet/toilet
- What the Water Regulations state on backflow protection
- How each must be installed to meet the UK Water Regulations
- What alternatives are there?
- Who is responsible regardless of where purchases are made?
