Sleeves () fit over the projecting ends of the supply pipes () for reception in inlets of the mixing valve () to thereby compress the sleeves () to grip and retain the pipes () in the inlets. The mixing valve () is releasably secured to the mounting plate () allowing the mixing valve () to be detached and the sleeves () and mounting plate () to be removed from the pipes ().
