The Walraven RSWB was originally designed for fixing electrical boxes and pipes between joists, but it has now become a really versatile product with both electricians and plumbers finding different ways of using it.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve received many installation examples from plumbers who find the RSWB really handy for first-fixing showers.<\/p>\n

Focus on shower first-fix<\/h2>\n

\"showerThe RSWB is easier and more convenient to use than wooden noggins because it is a ready-made solution which is adjustable in length, with pre-drilled holes for quick and easy fixing.<\/p>\n

The RSWBs can be positioned in any direction, close together for the valve fixings, and even overlap each other as can be seen here in this installation by HBS Plumbing & Heating. Craig said this installation was \u201c..way too easy with these brackets from Walraven\u2026great time-saving system\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Shower first-fix also involves securing hot and cold water supply pipes and waste water pipes which can also be fixed with RSWBs. So where traditionally you may have cut numerous wooden noggins to make the installation, you can now save time with ready-made metal noggins.<\/p>\n

Here is a great install by Eco Plumb Hull showing how RSWBs can be used throughout a shower first-fix. Eco Plumb Hull commented: \u201cReally versatile bracket that certainly speeds things up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
