    Questions on cooker gas fitting.

    So I've got a gas pipe in my kitchen, but due to a miscommunication on my part it's got the wrong fitting for the cooker I intend to buy. It's got a nut on the end, and is facing upwards, whereas I need a bayonet, and if I understand correctly, those should always face downwards so the rubber...

    Fitting a radiator that's too short

    TL;DR: Office workers should not be allowed spanners. Just bought a house and found the living room wasn't getting much above 15 degrees. It had a type 11 1400x600 radiator that seem to be about 3,500BTU but online room BTU calculators come out at about 8,000 to 11,000. Bought what I thought...

    Fitting auto air vent

    Been advised to fit an AAV on return of a sealed system to try and keep air out of the HEX as it keeps error coding about circulation. Power flushed the system already, this is the next step. Anyway, usually fit AAV on positive side of pump so how far away from pump to make sure AAV does not...

    Tectite slip fitting

    Trying to use a 28mm tectite slip coupling. Mangaged to get it over the pipe push it down, with some effort, but am damned if I can get it to come back. Am using the demounting tool and the plastic collar is all the way in but am damned if I can get it to come back on itself.

    Tectite fitting for tight space

    Need to use a couple of 28mm tectite fitting, space very limited so soldering is out. Looking on the Peglar site there seems so many that look the same. Some they state as slip fittings, how do they work on a grab ring fitting?

    Plastic pipe thread snapped off inside compression fitting - how to remove?

    Hi The fitting is brass (though doesn't look it in photo), the stuck plastic threaded pipe section is off the bottom of a standard ballcock assembly (bottom inlet) . It's snapped very cleanly, dead level with the nut. So, any smart ideas on how to get it out? Thanks

    Hi. I bought a house that has a pool heater and the gas line for it is shown here. I also want to put a natural gas garage heater in. My question is: is that piece of pipe coming up where it is capped off where the installer will tie into and go up the side of my garage? That back corner...

    What is this fitting called?

    I had to replace a perished washer in my toilet cistern and I had to remove the cistern from the toilet itself. In the process of detaching the water pipe I had to unscrew a white plastic cowling / covering and it has slid down the pipe and now I can't move it back upwards to re-secure(!). I...
