    Picked up one of these yesterday for an impending bathroom project! Was looking at installation and it looks straight forward enough. What size holesaw should I use for a 1/2 inch connector? It didn't come with washers/gaskets I assume it needs them? Anything to watch for when installing it?

    Thanks!

    Use a 19mm drill bit. It should have a washer on it and if its for a shower, install a gate valve on the pipe to save you draining the tank when you want to service the shower.

    Thanks Parman I missed your reply but that's pretty much what I ended up doing and no leaks bit nerve racking drilling the tank all the same!
