    How would you replace this kitchen tap mixer?

    I need to replace my kitchen tap and these are the existing pipes - any suggestions? I was going to cut just above the connection with a pipe slice, install the new tap with flexi pipes and then connect it up with compression fittings/PTFE tape. Does that sound sensible?! Thanks.

    Mixer Tap Removal please help

    Hi Please can some advise how I remove the mixer tap above these images. This retaining bracket is fixed on well and I don’t think there will be room for it to spin around. The hot water flexi seems to have come loose from the tap as it is leaking quite heavily. Unless something has failed...

    Changing cartridge - Deva Metropolis sink mixer tap

    Hi all, Happy New Year. It was suggested in another thread that turning the handles on this tap type (Deva Metropolis MET172 monobloc sink mixer tap) would allow me to remove the handle and change the cartridge. It's not budging, even after some WD40. Any other thoughts, or do I just...

    What size pipe for shower mixer

    Hi there! First post, so go easy on me. Please could I have some advice? I’m over-thinking something and it seems the type of HW system has a bearing on what size pipe is best for certain applications, so what better place to ask this question than a plumber’s forum? I have an unvented HW...

    Safe silicone grease for kitchen mixer tap.

    Hi Guys, We have a leaky kitchen mixer tap here which seems to be being caused by the plastic mixer valve/cartridge. I had a search for the serial number but couldn't find anything matching so I thought I would take the valve apart, clean it and grease it up to see if that sorts it out. As it...

    Thermostatic Shower Mixer Bar Controls

    Hi Guys Can someone please shed some light. In my house all the taps have the hot water on the left, cold on the right. The pipes which connect onto the shower mixer bar, the one on the left gets hot so it's the same as the taps. On the mixer bar itself the left control has blue lines on it...

    Hi team, new day, new question. Yesterday I tried to use the shower we have upstairs (we just moved in) and I have noticed that the mixer delivers only hot water. I have removed the top of the right tap (the one that you turn to chose the temperature) and I manually turned the tiny valve to...

(In short, I have two heat sources that perform differently under different conditions). I want an output temperature of...

    Buzz from thermostatic mixer tap

    Hi, just want to make sure I'm going down the right route with this. I've just installed a thermostatic mixer tap on my bath. When I tried it for the first time it buzzed (a fairly low buzz) After a bit of research I found this could be caused by unequal pressure between HW and CW. I tested the...
