    About the diameter of a 22mm pipe

    The pipe is connecting to a 22mm tap. Why is the bottom part of the pipe wider? Can I still use a connection fitting for 22mm if I cut it at the bottom part? Thanks🙏🏾🙏🏾

    Downsizing outflow pipe at wall

    Hi, I have a dishwasher that needs to move further back to fit flush with the other units, as is sticking out. What's in the way is an outflow pipe with 50mm diameter. Replacing it with a 25mm pipe would do the trick. Pic at pipework.png hosted at TinyPic - https://tinypic.host/i/ocehtd...

    WD40 in nut on water pipe - should I be worried?

    I needed to replace the braided water pipe for the hot tap as I was putting everything back together; I placed the female end into the copper pipe and before tightening the nut below it, I thought I'd add some WD40 into the nut just to make it easier to tighten. I then realised, given it's a...

    Attached is a ground floor picture of the soil pipe in our home. There was originally a toilet which has now been permanently capped off and you can also see a sink waste pipe attached. My plan is to drill out one of the 50mm sockets directly opposite the current sink waste for a new 40mm...
