    Probably not but with push on fittings it's pretty easy to lengthen or shorted the copper pipe

    Gee it would be a shame if you had to get a plumber out to make modififcations to fit those mixers. Might check put Reece and bunnings and Mitre 10 and the local independent hardware.

    I think more people will be inclined to take on these jobs themselves in years to come as flexible hose replaces copper pipes.

    You can have a go yourself. Check out compression fittings. No oxy required.
    Cut your copper and tighten on as joiners or what you need.
    Get a thread fitting onto the existing copper then run your flexy hoses

    Plumbing is only hard cause plumbers are usually stoned :p

    I think the OP has given up. I posted a video with the push on fittings and explained how we did the same job as a DIY in our kitchen but no response.

    You've got to spend that $100 per hour on something! o_O

    OP is here for a good time not a long time!

    Maybe it's not about page visits, maybe it's part of an alter ego: Bruce Wayne - Batman, Peter Parker - Spiderman, Clark Kent - Superman,
