    Macdee Pneumatic flush

    Hi guys, I fitted one of these a couple of days ago. It seems to me that it comes with a blue AND a clear hose to connect the button to the flush valve. The one I got only had a blue hose and the flush seems a bit weak to be honest. Anyone had experience of these and knows if they are OK with...

    Been doing a job with Kev and we've come a cropper... Got a thermostatic shower mixer with 2 shower heads, one movable and one overhead fixed one. The overhead has rigid exposed pipework going up to the 90deg then an arm where the shower head is. Something like this: Problem is, the arm is...

    Relighting a glow worm 45-60...

    Morning gents, I am on my way to bed and thought to myself 'why didn't I ask on here?' I then thought to myself 'do it now' So I that is what I am doing :) Swapped a couple of old worn out rad valves for TRV's today (one of those jobs where everything goes wrong...), should have taken 2-3 hours...

    Water Regs question.

    Lo gents. I'm fitting a sink in a nursery next week and the only way to run the waste is into a soil boss. I was planning on using a McAlpine anti syphon bottle trap to prevent odours from the soil, is this within the water regs considering it's in a public building? There's no room for a hepvo...

    Condensate boss into washing machine standpipe?

    Hi guys, got a job coming up where one of the issues is the kitchen fitter connected a condensate pipe to a washing machine standpipe by drilling a 22mm hole and siliconing the condensate pipe from the combi into that... Surprise surprise - it is now leaking. I would like to know if regs are...

    Work's dried up...

    Not sure why, but I've only had two jobs in the last three weeks. My website is still on page 1 of Google, got adwords running too, but it's just sooo quiet. At this rate I might have to get a proper job, eurgh... Anyone else quiet, or is it just me?

    Smallest / strangest F/E tank ever in all the world.

    Did a rad change today (the one where I ended up using a screwdriver!), the boiler was an ancient 'behind the radiator' type where you swing the radiator out to get at the boiler - a Servo Warm Elegance if I remember correctly. Anyway, I asked where the F/E tank was and was shown upstairs to a...

    Lead soil to solvent soil connection.

    Evening gents, Me and Kev may have just stumbled upon a nice little job over the next couple of weeks, if we get it we'll be first fixing and following up on 9 flats in a grade 2 listed conversion. The jobs seem straight forward enough but there is one thing that has us both scratching our heads...

    Perfect Pump Valves - Williams & Co.

    Had to replace the c/h pump in a house I rent out this afternoon. The original red handled gate valve type in there have always been a bit temperamental so chose to replace them with the Perfact Pump valves Ray sent me. As they're in a house I own I will be able to update on here if there...

    Replacement cartridge needed for Trend concealed thermostatic mixer

    Went to a potential customers today to see if I could fix their shower, It was bought from TC Bathrooms 2 years ago and it now runs either too hot or too cold with no happy medium, so first guess is that it needs the cartridge replacing. TC Bathrooms gave a lifetime warranty with it (very bold...

    Aussie DIY

    I had a plumbing issue at my house the other day. After hours of looking for a decent plumber I happened across the website of JC plumbing, it seemed just the ticket so I phoned him and he was round to sort the problem out in no time. What a thoroughly nice bloke he was too, and good looking...

    DIYer worried about his DIY plumbing

    You are worrying too much. They don't pop off and you can get a good seal on old pipe without getting rid of the oxidisation. The olive bites into the copper and creates the seal and grip. If it's water-tight now it is likely to stay that way. When most plumbers fit them to old pipe they will...

    DIYer worried about his DIY plumbing

    Putting plumbers mait on the thread won't help to seal it, but it won't do any harm either, if it's not leaking now it probably won't. No need to worry

    Hi guys, wondering if any of you know a decent stockist for the above? The stoptap is half buried in a wall and lead both sides and the handle has snapped off. I had a couple of different sized stopcocks in my kit but they would not fit. Took the head gear down to 2 different plumbers merchants...
