I want to drain now while the...

    Where does the bellows fit on a Grohe adagio single valveflush?

    I can't see whether the bellows which activates the flush is supposed to fit inside the opening at the top of the valve or press down on the edge. It doesn't seem to be aligned with the top so I don't know what's up with it.

    Ferolli boiler leaking water from gas valve

    I have a ferolli HE31C and it has developed a water leak that appears to be from a porous casing in the gas valve. I can not see where water even enters the gas valve as I presume the gas goes in the bottom and out of the top of the valve. To check this out I dried it off and put some sealant...

    screw in direct cistern valve replacement

    Leaking toilet - needs replacement flush valve but existing screws direct into cistern not fixed with nurt and seal. How do I get this type of valve or is the thread size the same as the spigot and nut type so I get one of the latter and dispose of the nut & seal?
