look for ?
Okay thanks. Now let's say you have a jg tee and a polyplumb pipe! The way round would be to use the polyplumb pipe insert
OK - so this isn't plumbing related specifically but is trade related, and may help someone who uses Makita cordless tools.
I have lots of Makita stuff and therefore need lots of batteries. So when one died recently, I popped to buy a new one. Toolstation are selling the new 4ah batteries for about £85 which I know isn't super cheap, but when you consider it will definitely be genuine and that until last month Screwfix wanted £149 for a 3Ah it seems a deal.
So I bought 2 of em. When they arrived they wouldn't fit into any of my 3Ah tools. I quickly realised why, and with the Dremel sorted it in under a minute. The 4Ah isn't going to damage my tools just last longer than a 3Ah. So don't worry about that.
Attached are some photos. I hope this is clear, and it may help someone!
PS - so far the 4Ah batteries do last a fair bit longer than the 3's.

or just use the right plastic insert and a brass compression fitting (can join many plastic sins), sorted.
I wonder why makita bring out new 4ah battery's then try not to let us use em on are kit?
When your on a job and there isn't one it's polite to fit one. Sick of muppets who fit system or do a boiler swap and neglect to spend £3.49 and two mins to fit them !!!!!!!
A quid for doff in local merchants, 12 quid for ten e feed tees in tool station I think I've just paid
Check this link on the 4ah batts

Had new lad notch out joists, he started and I stopped him. Was only going to leave 5mm of joist.
Ok so this is what I showed him. You need rip snorter, bendinding guide for size of tube u need to notch out for, hammer and a pointy sharp thing.
Remove board
Run saw with blade set at pipe thickness plus 3mm
Run saw so guide is against adjacent board
Cut all joists needed
Next put guide between edge of board and side of snorter.... Cuts hole with 3mm gap either side.
Then simply whack notch with hammer and tidy with sharp thing.

That means taking up 2 boards! Good tip though

No u can also set snorter to pipe plus board, just use old board as a straight edge on top. For two 15mm use two guides or slice pipe slice

Only lifted two as offset further up

Become friends with a carpet fitter. Their business is in and out fast as they can and on to the next. So they see a lot of people per day........the "do you know a plumber?" Question is often popped out when tradesmen are in someone's house.
Also they change their knife blade like every ten mins. Their bluntest blades are still sharper than anything in a plumbers tool box. So it's free Stanley blades for life

I use polytheen dustsheets when replacing rads o trv's ect, one 12x12ft does like 2 rads change easily if you cut them in half and that's if you triple layer them up. masking tape them to the skirting behind the rad and cut them so they fit around the pipes feeding the radiator then masking tape the dustsheet to the pipe. tidy job, no spills thru to the carpet and once you finished you can wrap all you rubbish up in them and chuck away! and at £23 for a pack of 10 in TRAVS PERKIS!!!!! ( enough to do 20 rad changes approx.) id say they are a bargain. I don't like dust sheets after they get whet , they smell of amp and look awful!! that's my opinion anyway, if you masking tape them to the skirting no dust will get behind onto the carpets when drilling!
