Guys, thanks for all the suggestions, think I'll just go and get some RV anti-freeze and try that.

I have a floor drain in the area below my washer on the second floor. Since the drain is never used - I'm concerned the trap will dry up. How do I avoid this, or are there special types of traps for this type of application? Of course, I can just dump a little water down it once in a while. Thanks.

krow, yup, you are right, there is an adaptor pipe available from Sam Heath, 15mm plain end with a 3/4 NPT. By the way, Sam Heath have been very good to deal with - they respond quickly to emails and have fedex'd the part to me so I can have it within a few days.

Hard to tell the make from the photo - Looks like a Sam Heath V429: http://www.samuel-heath.com/shbrowser/Products.aspx?ParentId=S550 They are made in England, nice stuff - that puppy retails for $3000 or so.

Makes sense, the demo unit's original box was lost, and obviously they didn't need the tailpieces for the demo wall. When I saw the unit it looked visually like a 3/8 nipple was perfect for the job - I thought, piece o' cake... ...still can't find 15mm nipples in US at on-line sources.

Well, this was a demo unit, could have been on the show-room for years maybe, perhaps they now supply to US standards on this side of the pond, just a guess. The unit itself is in perfect condition (appearance). I'm going to go back to the plumbing supply place tomorrow since the guy I spoke...

Well, SH has a pretty long history, I mean, these guys have been turning out quality product since 1825, not many plumbing companies can say that. ...any idea on a source? A quick websearch on 15mm brass nipples turned up plenty of websites in UK, NZ and AU... (and China of course) someone in...

Hey, I agree, I would not normally buy this fixture, but it really is a beautiful bit of engineering and at 1/3rd list is was pretty afordable... I guess I know why now! Well, worse case, I get a buddy to turn a little off a 3/8" brass nipple for me! Having said that, Samuel Heath sells a lot of...

I need to rough in a Samuel Heath V427 shower thermo, I bought the shower kit demo from a local plumbing supply place and it came with no instructions. The unit looks very easy to install, basically just 2 pressure fittings. A picture of the unit is here...
