Alright guys?
i went to service a boiler for a customer yesterday, she had just had her whole kitchen done out and had a new range cooker. The guy who installed it put a angled wall plate and an angled bayonet socket on and the range won't push back to the wall, there's about a 2inch gap behind...
I have always done my own plumbing but have stopped at installing new connections to the hot water cylinder. I have just moved to a new house and looking to install a new digital shower in an ensuite bathroom. Unfortunately my plumber has let me down. The system is gravity fed.
My question...
Hi everyone,
i have a boiler with a leak from cold water inlet and DHW outlet connections into the plastic heat exchanger connection plate.
it is almost impossible to see if the leaks are from the brass nipples or a crack in the plastic block so I am going to replace both just to be on the safe...
Yesterday I had a very frustrating day installing a new indirect hot water cylinder which the customer had bought from Screwfix. There were six connections in total (cold feed, boiler flow & return, Surrey flange with feed to shower and DHW) and, as is the usually the case, every connection...
Hi Folks
I have a customer who seems to have an issue with a blockage in his 40mm bath waste which drops down to 32mm pipe just before going into a 4" boss connector. In other words I believe an obstruction has passed down his 40mm pipe but is now lodged firmly in the 32mm section. Whilst...
Hi Lovely Plumbing Community,
Please help me. I have bought a NEFF dishwasher (S51E50X1GB) and am installing it myself. My previous dishwasher was also a NEFF and a similar model, so I thought it would be a simple swap. When I removed the old dishwasher I noticed that there was a brass ending...
Good evening all,
To outline the scene, we have fitted a new bathroom( bath & basin) on the 3rd floor of a house and ran the plumbing across the landing to the loft of the two storey extension, where the tanks are located above the hot water cylinder. However obviously the water flow will be...
In the middle of replacing low level toilet (there for about 30 years) with close coupled loo.
The pan outlet is about 350mm distance to the soil stack on a 90 degree bend to the left
Just discovered that the original new toilet I chose the pan outlet is lower than the soil outlet. It will...
Hello there!
Please help me, I think i am in pipe hell :frown2: or maybe just pipe purgatory for now. Long story short i ended up having to pull my poor bathroom apart when a pipe under the basin failed... only to find another very slow leak in a hot water pipe hidden under my bath.
I've...
I have a powermax 155x. I'm not sure if its a single channel or dual channel boiler, i'm considering connecting it to Hive. Ive looked online and it's reffered to as a condensing boiler and a combi boiler so i'm a little confused
Hello,
I have a megaflop hot water tank. On the wide, it has two grey plastic squares attached. On them is written "DISCONNECT FROM THE MAINS BEFORE REMOVING THIS COVER".
They have holes for two wires to be attached. The upper one, about 2/3 up the tank, is not onnected. The lower one...
I have exposed the inlet on base of a 450mm IC for my future connection, offering up the underground swp to inlet appears to be very loose.
I have spoken to drainage suppliers who say the inlet socket should be a tight fit & demonstrated this with an chamber base & pipe.
The inlet seems to be...
Hi,
Our toilet pan connection has just started to leak at the bottom on the toilet side (See pic). Where can I find a new connector for this? Is it an unusual piece? I'd like to do the job today (it's our only bog) but haven't been able to find anything in screfix, toolstation or b&q. Maybe...
Hi All,
To cut a long story short I've a Ideal istor boiler I've posted abotu previously. Its an unvented cylinder all in one boiler. Bad reputation but mine has been good over the last 2.5 years. I had a new mains fitted a year back-ish and hoped for better flow rates. This didn't happen...
Waste disposals don't have standard discharge connections, do they?
I've got to replumb this monstrosity tomorrow but trying to find a mcalpine elbow with a socket one end and a plain other end to connect to the waste disposal discharge connector... Can't find one...
Hi Guys,
The next job on my list is sorting out this mess, where the soil stack meets gully:
From above, you can just about see that the (clay) gully is tight up against the wall, so is offset from the soil pipe centreline - which probably hasn't helped:
The connection has been made via...
Ehup guys
installing a stu turner pump tomorrow, but nobody around here stocks any surrey flanges which is what I would normally use.
I could do it the mira way and make the vent pipe 45 degrees and take a tee off that. Has anybody done it that way and had any problems ?
many thanks
I need to temporarily disconnect the boiler from an old IMI Range Primatic cylinder and cap off the connections so the electric immersion can be used instead while the boiler is sorted.
I bought a couple of 28mm nuts and blanking discs but the boiler outlet/inlet fittings on the cylinder...
