    Tall Mono Basin Tap On Travertine Surface

    I have built a basin unit for my travertine basin. The unit is tiled in travertine with the top being travertine also.

    Potential Soil pipe Blockage

    I appear to have done something rather stupid, (which isn't unusual). I have dropped a wood file (probably around 350mm or so) down the soil pipe. To cut a long story short, I had the vent pipe off and was removing a small section of pipe that protruded too far into the soil pipe (from...

    Is there such thing as a flexible braided hose that will go from 15mm pipe (plastic in this case) to 1/2" male thread? If so, where would I get some as I've not seen them anywhere. I have some bath wall valves that have female 1/2" BSP threads for the input and output flow. I was hoping to...

    Gate Valve Mains Pressure Manifold

    I have completely gutted my bathroom and on advice from my plumber I stripped out the old copper piping and I have laid plastic pipes to where the sink, toilet, bath and shower will go.
