    Hot water coming out of overflow

    Hot water coming out of overflow pipe. It's not dripping, it's pouring out. The tank hasn't been switched on for ages. It's an immersion heater. I'm thinking the water is boiling in it and overflowing but not sure.

    Bath Overflow and Waste Connection

    Hi, I bought a new bath overflow and waste which I thought would be simple to install. The existing seems to have been plumbed differently. Does any one know the connection I need in the second photo? I had to cut the old overflow off as it wouldn't loosen.
