From what I read on the back the connectors to fit it are 15mm push fit, however I'm unsure what size the hot and cold tubing used in our MH is, it's got like stripes on it blue / red for cold and hot
Here is a pic

What size is it

 

[DBK]

Could be 12mm. The only sure way is to measure it. As a guide a 12mm push fit connector at its widest point, for example the black elbow in the bottom right of your photo should be about 22mm. If its wider than this it may well be 15mm.

If it is 12mm you can probably buy all the bits you need here. I used them last week and the service was good.

Just see if a 12mm spanner fits on the pipe if it doesn't then will be 15mm

if say it's 12mm tube that needs a 12mm push fitting is that measurement of 12mm the internal or external measurement of the pipe

Just see if a 12mm spanner fits on the pipe if it doesn't then will be 15mm

it is an Autosleeper Kingham, no idea where they are made.

Made in England so probably 12mm so you might need a 15mm to 12mm reducer, make sure you put pipe inserts in before installing the push fit.

Ronny yip I just measured the hose and its outside diameter is 12mm
Can you get a t piece junction with two x 12mm and one x 15mm female push fit connections??

 

[DBK]

You might find this is what you need to connect to the 15mm connections on the shower point - assuming they are female of course.

Edit, just checked and the back of the shower point is 15mm male. So you need a 15mm elbow like this (or a straight version):

Whale Quick Connect 15mm Equal Elbow WX1503 Pack of 2

And then connect the 15 to 12mm adaptor linked to above to it.

Not sure about them you could use a 12mm equal tee then take a short piece of 12mm pipe off to a 15/12 reducer. Might be worth a try at a decent plumbers merchants.

you do not need insert's with that type of pipe cut the pipe with either the correct cutters or a stanley knife dont use a saw no matter how fine

Thanks all, I've been looking online and seems my best course of action is as per the diagram by Ronny

Great for washing the bikes.

Bart depending on where you mount it, you might also want to extend the hose.

I had to fit mine quite high up (as it's in alignment with under the sink) so the hose wasn't really long enough...

 

[RogerThat]

PS. Don't know what colour your AS is, but I bought a grey one to match the other external stuff.

Also great for cooling down and a quick swill after the beach.

I'm gonna install mine right at the boiler just inside one of the rear doors, so mounted inside the mh as such.

What is that bit that you have on your tow bar between the plate and the tow ball please? Even with a 2 inch spacer and a tilting bike rack we still can't open left barn door and wondered if this would help although "ball" looks a bit high. Thanks.

Sorry I am having a senior moment or two! I am just trying to ask RogerThat what that thing on his towbar is between the tow plate and the towball? Since the site revamp I do seem to have trouble with my quoting of other people's threads and yes I know it's me.

It’s looks like a drop pin for trailers with an eye/ring not a ball hitch. I still use a WW1 trailer on the tractor with one.
