    A long time since I've been on here, but I need some more advice. Our 'spare' bedroom has a Mira power shower. The hot water is fed from the HW cylinder which is more or less on the same level but about 5 metres away, and the pipe runs up into the loft, and back down into the shower unit. The...

    Identifying capped off pipework?

    Hi all. How do you guys identify the hot and cold pipe work that's been capped off after a bathroom rip out? One of our guys forgets every time to check whether existing install is correct (cold on right, hot on left). Pipes on current job can't be traced back. Combi system.

    exposed pipework to bar mixer

    What fittings do you guys use to get it as close to the wall as possible. Do you just use chrome tap back plates with a couple of 1/2 × 3/3 female irons? I think you will still end up seeing a bit of the iron from the valve though. cheers chaps

    Pipework sizing

    Hi folks, another newbie! Hopefully you can help. I'm looking at having an air source heat pump installed, which is most efficient at water temp of 35 deg C. Rather than upsizing all the radiators, I'm considering Dimplex Smartrads which are fan assisted and therefore much more compact. They...

    Hi, is this possible to do? I'm trying to install a towel rad and need to move pipework, and i really want to avoid draining down the system at this time of year. Pipework is also microbore if that make any difference. I guess there are some ways to join plastic pipe to this but i didn't...

    Max Radiators with microbore pipework

    Hi all, I'm not sure if pipeworks makes a difference to this, but i assume the flow will be different so may make an effect. Essentially i am looking to add more radiators to an existing installation (converting a garage into two rooms). Currently we have 15 rads, and the boiler is a...

    Safety valve pipework

    What expansion gaps for 110mm pvc pipework?

    I know that you should chamfer the ends of cut pipe to ease entry at connections and avoid damaging the seal, and also to match the internal profile of junctions. I have also read that you should pull the pipe out 10mm to allow for thermal expansion. Is this right and is it at every junction?
