    4” pipe lagging query??

    I thought as much. It’s actually a double branch. Like a big tee with a prodding eye in the end. Bloody nightmare.

    The branch bend. Cutting the lagging like you would for the usual size pipe just doesn’t work.

    Old cistern/syphon advice?

    Thanks for the reply. I didn’t get a photo I’m afraid. It’s just a standard 9” flush syphon without an internal overflow. The thread isn’t as long as a modern one, so when I added the washer it made the compression nut bottom out on the syphon nut. The flush boot was definitely rock hard which...

    2 part reducing sets 10mm to 15mm??

    Do any of you guys use this type of reducer? It doesn’t have an olive and the bottom part of the brass compresses onto the pipe by the looks of it and the top is removable. I haven’t used them before tbh. I can only seem to find the 3 part versions by me.

    JT shower waste query??

    Have any of you guys used this type of shower trap? It’s not 2 compression knuckles like most it’s more of a swivel fitting to give an angle. It doesn’t unscrew either.

    Exposed basin pipe work query?

    Hi folks I’ve been asked to first fix a basin that has the chrome waste exposed. My problem is that the basin isn’t on site to allow me to get an accurate height for the waste but I do have some dimensions. I will attach a pic if it helps. I’ve marked it out where the basin height is 870mm...

    Part 2 float connection?

    Hi guys What connection goes on to the part floats please? It looks like it should be a compression to me rather than tap connector? I’ll add a pic Cheers

    Desperate to sort this chaps. I’ve installed a boss strap today and the bloody thing is leaking. I glued it as normal and cleaned it up so I’m unsure what the issue is. Any advice for the easiest fix please?

    Hi folks Do you guys fit your own timber panels or get a chippy in? A lad I know has fitted one of the mdf panels with the 100mm skirting trim using 2 battens either end of the bath. Customer is refusing to pay as it bows slightly when touched. Do you guys build a frame if you do it...

    For the guys doing a lot of bathroom work. What dual mixer showers would you recommend? I don’t think the budget reaches to the Grohe stuff but also want something that’s not going to need new cartridges every 5 minutes. Cheers
