My mixer bar shower gave up the ghost on its thermostatic mixer valve, so the water wouldn't heat up. I was advised to replace the mixer bar so I got a Briston Frenzy. It requires me to screw in a mounting plate over the existing pipes. However, the previous installed mounts are directly soldered over the inlet pipes. How would I go about removing these the most practical way?

Heat it up with a torch and when the solder starts to melt wiggle the fitting off with pliers.

Be careful, it will be hot. 😬
