I've got a radiator with two dissimilar ends where the pipes are connected. One end is familiar to me, it's 15mm diameter, bit of pipe with olive and nut and the whole thing has been screwed onto the radiator. You just need to screw the TRV or lockshield valve to it.
The other one is new to me...
Hello all, I've been asked by a customer to rectify a problem with their toilets upstairs which are either side of a stack. When they are flushed it travels up the opposite toilet.they called a drainage company out to unblock the soil stack and also the company noticed the Connection between the...
A concealed cistern has a small leak from where the flushpipe joins the flushvalve. I have not seen this type previously but the large round cover would appear to be out of alignment. Is it designed to unscrew from a thread? Anyone care to explain as to how it can be removed?
Thanks in advance.
Morning all. I hope you're all well. Wow has it been a long time since being on here. Work and family life is nuts at the moment. I hope you're all.busy as well (if that's what you want ).
I need some advice on running this basin waste. The spec shows it going into the toilet pan connector (...
Hi
I need to know which fitting to use for the soil pipe to make a new waste connection to the toilet. The new location will be 12inches to the left of the current one.
Thanks
Just looking for any suggestions, can't find a 68mm strap on boss and didn't really want to drill a hole and silicone. Anyone tried one of those mechanical soil bosses?
I've just removed a leaky old S bend toilet from a downstairs loo.
It connected vertically to the floor and I'm not sure which toilet and connector to go for. Ideally I'd like a close coupled toilet so that we can get rid of the overflow but not sure if/how that will work with the position of...

I have an open vented central heating system with hot water cylinder in an S plan plus arrangement - 2 central heat zones (one old, one just added for extension).

Hi all.
I'm putting a new kitchen in my flat and being an old Georgian building nothing is square or level.
I measured the kitchen but obviously didn't allow enough tolerance as my dishwasher is super tight.
The dish washer measures 600mm wide and 550deep.
My void for it is 600mm (so ok)...

Evening, the dreaded error message has been popping up all afternoon for a couple of minutes thankfully it only lasts a short while so keep trying if it happens tonight guys.
I had someone move my toilet soil pipe which involved changing the connection to the vertical cast iron soil stack. I didn't like the look of it and pulled it apart. I found that he had emptied a full tube of silicon which had solidified and was blocking about 90% of the pipe. I removed most of...
I have to reconnect some 22mm copper to a section of grey 22mm polypipe fitted with Hepworth grey screw connectors with rubber o ring and plastic grab rings. All of the fittings have worked for over 10 years and still seem good. Acorn Engineering still sell them but I'll have to order and I'd...
I need to connect a WC to a horizontal soil pipe - the problem is that the centres are only 150mm apart from where the pipe enters the floor. I also need to connect the basin waste somewhere.
This connection is within a cabinet behind the WC, so have about 300mm depth to play with too - the...

Hi
At the moment my kitchen sink waste runs into a vertical soil stack via a strap on boss, but the pipe run goes round a corner and will interfer with a gate I want to hang.
I have a rainwater drainage soil pipe that runs along the back of my house next to the kitchen and would be closer to...
Hi all,

Hi,
I am currently having a few quotes done to replace my boiler+cylinder with a combi and one of the plumber who offered to fit either atag or a vieassmann said that I can't have a boiler that supply 30kw because my connection for the gas supply is provided through a 22mm pipe. He told me...

Many thanks.
