Bath Filler water pressure
Discussion
I have a bath filler and im really not sure it's going to be decent enough pressure for filling a bath. It feels like it will take 15 minutes to run the bath.
Its a scudo with valve. Lots of other oems using this design as well if it helps.

The pressure is slow and very poor on the cold feed with cold on 22mm dropped to a 15mm run with pegler isolator and then into a 3/4 15mm tap connector.
My gut here is the valve then has these on the connector with 8mm bore.
Am i on a hiding to nothing with this valve?

Probably but you wont really know until you have tried it really, if you already have it then its not such a big issue to try it out really providing you don`t have to cut any holes.
Isolation valves can restrict the flow too, pegler are normally pretty good just check its a full bore one.

I've had a look at videos of bath fillers on YouTube (Thrilling evening I know) and most seem a bit better but with this 8mm bottleneck I can see why this one is so paltry. Isolation valves can restrict the flow too, pegler are normally pretty good just check its a full bore one.
The peglers are full bore.
There is nothing on the market with a valve in for fillers, Lusso have one that looks thinner but it's 370 quid....flow wise it is mostly the same.
If you want a decent flow rate you need the water pressure to sustain it. With reasonable pressure that fitting could probably achieve 10-15 litres a minute.
What is the water pressure like? Is it just tank fed or roughly mains pressure with an unvented cylinder? You might need to add a pump, for example.
