Hi, can anybody tell me if this would be ok to use as a pipe configuration? obviously the black fitting would be replaced by underground pipework, also the 3 socket t piece wouldn't be used, and it's a bit wonky, so not sure what fitting to use on that part, any advice would be good thanks
Hi
I have no idea what I'm on about in technical terms so please bear with me!
When I drain my bath water gushes out of the side of the house ; I'm guessing that theres some sort of blockage or obstruction near the top as it seems to be coming from just above where the pipe starts. I bought...
Hi All,
I'm about to install a new Macerator unit in a downstairs cloakroom and was planning on using the waste pipe from the previous unit. The problem is the old UPVC 22mm has broken off inside the elbow joint that goes into the wall.
Does anyone know the best way to remove the broken part...
Hi
I have a new kitchen that was just fitted. The way the kitchen sink and pipes were sitting meant the main water pipes are in the cupboard under the sink, however the waste pipe is in behind another cupboard beside it.
I was plumbing up the sink taps and trap and am a bit stuck. The trap is...

all was going well with the installation, until i went to connect up the water waste pipe.
the connector that is on the drain u-bend appears to be 23.5mm, but the waste pipe on the washing machine looks like 21mm.
there is...
Hi everyone, i need a bit of advice, i live in Tasmania, we bought a brand new townhouse that has a tiny internal laundry in a closet in the passage opposite the bathroom.
It has a very small wash basin in one corner, the hot water cylinder is on the other end, but the space between these is...
Good evening, looking for some advice on the waste pipe in my bathroom that I’m re doing. So the pipe is already in to where the bath is but I want to extend this to put in a sink. What sort of traps do I want to be putting on my sink and bath and any other advice you could give. Thanks in advance
In reality though, it's done all the time. Most don't realise it shouldn't be done and the reasons why. So why?
What are the potential problems and the likelihood of those problems happening over time if an MuPVC to ABS joint is made and brought into service for hot and cold drainage?
Is...
Hi,
I'm in Warrington, Cheshire and looking for a plumber to quote to get a cold feed and waste piping installed for a dishwasher.
We're in a rented property and would need to run anything by the landlord first but not wrong with checking viability first right?
Current setup is the standard...
Hello folks
I have what seems to be a standard 40mm white PVC pipe that used to hold the washing machine drain hose, which I wanted to cap off to avoid any water overflowing from (as my kitchen drainage seem to get blocked up easily, and it will probably be replaced within the next year).
I...
I would like to remove compression coupling to gain access to external waste pipe. I can remove both ends by twisting but the middle section does not move away. Do I need to apply more force?
My waste pipe is blocked so need access to try wet vac from outside as from toilet has not cleared the...
Hi Guys,
Got a issue with a kitchen sink.
I Installed a new island kitchen sink not long ago and they have been having problems with the drainage of the sink. Basic Bowl and a half sink, standard mcalpine trap, small section of pipe horizontal out of trap then one inch half elbow, then...
I’d be grateful for some guidance on the best way to fix a leak from my toilet. The leak doesn’t come from the toilet so presuming it’s the seal next to the floor and involves the 4inch waste pipe. I am replacing the toilet anyway and presume I need to replace some kind of flange at the base...
Looking for an easy solution to connect the waste outlet of the freestanding bath (solid sides) to the drain. Don't really want to use a flex waste connector as they block up and don't last long. Trying to connect the waste with the bath jacked up on wood is difficult. Locating everything isn't...
Weve just bought a 1930s house and the previous owners appear to have just ripped out the washing machine waste pipe and inlet valve as the waste pipe was a mess leaking everywhere, they switched off the isolation valve for the hot water thinking it was the washing machine isolation valve which...
Hi guys im wanting to move some of my floplast solvent weld pipes in my bathroom i though the shower was on 40mm and the sink on 32mm which i thought was all you could get however when ive looked at fittings some say 36 on them which i presume is 36mm is there really so many different sizes of...
Hi all. I’m not G3 qualified but I’m sure I heard that the waste pipe should be push fit plastic rather than solvent due to temperature? Is this correct? Most cylinder installs I see the discharge is in solvent. Cheers
Hi
I want to replace the 32 & 40mm waste pipes that connect to my external soil stack, not enough fall so not draining. Should I make a new hole lower down below the boss branch to insert the new pipe or is it best to just replace that section completely and connect to the stack a bit further...
I think I may have been a tool here, but I would appreciate some advice.
My bathroom sink "click-clack" waste plughole jammed, so I bought a new one and fitted it. Plenty of silicone sealer, and nothing complicated. On testing it, the water was streaming out (not just dripping). It was as...
