    Kitchen sink trap/space saving issue?

    Hi all. Any suggestions on what trap/fittings to use on a sink as I need to turn 90degrees as soon as I can? The sink is moving into a unit with space very limited and I can’t just core a new hole. I’ve found a few bits but nothing I can get over the counter at a merchants. Cheers folks

    Kitchen tap replacement different sized flexible hose

    Hi, I bought a Grohe kitchen tap to replace my existing one and have found that it comes with fixed flexi hoses that are 3/8" instead of the UK standard 15mm fitting. I saw on an older thread that someone with a similar problem bought a tap tail adaptor from Screwfix with a compression nut and...

    Delta O2 "Touch" kitchen faucet question

    6 years old. Never a problem until it sprung a leak recently. Took the solenoid apart, cleaned things up, put it back together and no more leak. So that is not the issue. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it now but I would really like to understand how the darn 'touch' 'off' toggle works. It...

    Strange Kitchen Tap Value

    I was wondering has anybody ever come across a value like this: It's 30 mm wide at its widest but narrower at the bottom. It is from the hot side of a kitchen mixer tap. The cold side was the standard size. I've been to my local plumbing suppliers and the likes and nobody has ever seen one like...

    Part appears to have has come off on our new-ish kitchen tap

    Hi We had a new kitchen mixer tap fitted back in October, it was highly rated on tool station and not a bad price. I noticed yesterday that the part in between the tap handle and the body (in the photo) seems to have come off or something odd has happened so it’s showing the inside connections...

    New Kitchen sink when can I use it

    I have just had a new kitchen sink installed, and the plumber filled it to the top and told me not to use it for 48 hours to ensure the sealant sets. Told if we use it beforehand, it could move. Is this correct sounds like a long time for the sealant to set.

    Need an attachment for a kitchen mixer tap for a garden hose.

    I bought a Hozelock tap to hose fitting, though it doesn't fit the tap. The diameter appears to be 22mm. I desperately need a fitting for a hose to water some plants, as running back and forth with a watering can seems so unnecessary. Can anyone point me to what I'm looking for...

    Issue with removing Kitchen tap from ceramic sink

    I’m looking to get some advice on how to remove a stubborn kitchen tap. The sink is ceramic and I’m very reluctant to take a grinder or any power tool to the tap. The fixing plate is secured by a plastic nut. Not a brass nut. You can fit a box spanner over the plastic nut, but it doesn’t...
