| Hi all, I bought a hansgrohe thermostatic roman tub filler set. This is the rough-in valve # 04124181 My GC told me that it requires a special 2.5" diamond drill bit that he cannot find anywhere. I can't imagine that it would be this difficult to install since Hansgrohe is pretty popular. Did anyone else find this to be the case or perhaps there is a trick he doesn't know about? |

| I wonder if he could get one from the stone countertop fabricators?, or have them come out to drill a hole. |

| sloyd, thanks for the tip. He did ask our stone fabricator but the fabricator said the largest bit he has is 2.25". I guess it is because I have a quartz tub surround as opposed to the usual tile.. I will have to call up Hansgrohe customer service to ask. |

| In the yellow pages - look up concrete hole drilling. I've had 6 / 8 / 10" holes drilled in concrete. |

| sloyd, thanks for the link! i guess my GC is old school. he only checked all of his building supply stores. amazon is great! doug_gb, i will call up some concrete hole places if I can't find the drill bit for my GC. thank you! |

| " I've had 6 / 8 / 10" holes drilled in concrete." I had to punt an exhaust vent for a large paint spray room through a 5 foot thick tool rim rated concrete floor. The vent was 32 inches in diameter. It only took about 24 hours of drilling with a huge core bit. It took longer to erect the scaffold to hold the core up 35 feet to the floor below. |
|
| "And another 8 hours or so to lower the core down to the 'basement' floor." It's not the fall, it's that sudden stop :) |
