    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...

    Overhead shower arm too long...

    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...

    Question for the gas men.

    There's a 'handyman' I know who's been doing some jobs that I think are out of his league. He's not insured or qualified but he's been boxing in boilers and fitting electric showers etc. Just seen this pic on facebook and he's removed a cast iron gutter and replaced with plastic, I'm wondering...

    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...

    Incoming cold water main Isolation valve passing water when closed - replace?

    First and easiest option for me would be to replace the washer. When you have it open have a feel of the seat (the bit where the washer compresses on to), if it's smooth the new tap washer will be fine.

    Glen has a point. Your first post is really difficult to read, it's taken me a while but I think I get it now. hiya guys. just a quick bit of advice if you could? turn the hot tap on next door in bathroom and the pipe work rattles and bangs, never come across this so not to sure what is...

    water hammer

    Could be that the old taps were fitted with copper and as such held the pipework firmer, the new monobloc may be connected with flexis which now allows the pipework to wobble about and cause hammer. I'm guessing this post will get a 'like' From Sys :)

    water hammer when kitchen sink cold tap opened ??

    Just re-read the op and you say this happens when you open the tap? not when closing it? If so then Resolute has a great point, pressure drop making a ball valve slam.

    water hammer when kitchen sink cold tap opened ??

    A mini arrestor near the kitchen tap pipework would probably sort it, but if this is a new problem, I'd be checking the tap innards first as servicing this 'could' fix it, maybe not, but it could and would be cheaper than fitting an arrestor.
