Any help would be appreciated.

I don't recall ever seeing it, then again I really wasn't looking. You try HomeMart (up the road from HomePro.

Also print out the pic below and use as a reference, you might get lucky.

Thanks papaguido, this elbow is going to connect to an electric shower,so
that the plumbing will be hidden in the wall.

I always look in Global and ToolPro, and sometimes some local small shops.

Not sure what you are looking for, but I have a ½ 90º elbow with male threads on one end and the other end will glue to ½ PVC. I must have gotten it at Global. If it will work for you, you can have it.

Thanks for the offer RLTrader, but thats not quite what i am looking for,it's got to have the nut/collar the other end,so i can remove shower if it packs up.
Cheers.

Something like this TicToc? You can add a short nipple if you need a male pipe thread.

Not quite Shado,like this but with 1/2 thread at the bottom instead of pushfit. Sorry not good photo.

Like everything here, you are going to need to either have it ship here from somewhere, or make do by piecing together something.

Like with sink drains, some come with the piping and some don't, as I have found. I bought a Stone double sink, no piping, I had to order it at Global, and even though they had what I wanted at the store, I had to wait 3 or 4 weeks to get it. They just would not sell me the item that comes free with one of their sinks. So I had to choose, buy a 1500 baht sink, or wait for a 500 baht kit.

As plumbing goes, there is NO winning here in Thailand.

There are 2 or 3 plumbing shops about 100-150meters past the water fountain circle as you're heading toward Makro, on your right hand side. The last shop in that group is the best (IMO), a few older ladies have been running it for a zillion years. Bring a photo of what you need. If it's available, in all likelihood, they'll have it.
If that fails, as you're heading toward the Banhui market from the clock circle, about 50meters before the Banhui market traffic light, on your right hand side, there's a plumbing shop that mostly deals in slow flow drip equipment. It's possible they'll have it.

Many thanks,will give that a try tomorrow.
Thanks all for your help.

It seems that you only need to setup the pipes into your bathroom. That diagram is a good preference on setting it up. You just need the proper tubes and complete elbows like the 90 degree elbow.

having done all the plumbing in my house at least once repairing or renewing following c*** Thai workmanship , most of what you have talked about is available, the only real problem is that you have to look for it.
if you go to Tool pro they do have a customer place where you can look at books and order what you want. Yoi have to ask, they have recently enlarged their domestic bathroom dept so I am sure with a good transalator you can get what you need.

The elbows mentioned I have seen in global but they are not always there.

Stock control in Thailand is almost nil, so if they run out they wait for new stock it seems. Home Por might also have what you need but it is like talking to the dumb dept if you ask for anything.

Keep looking I am sure you will find it.

Thanks guys,tried the three old ladies that parrot talked about but no joy.
Anyway have got round the problem now by using the water flow control valve that comes with the shower,(fits on the inlet)it has a swivel joint on the end.
By the way if you need someone who speaks english in HomePro just ask for Jaeb at customer services.
