I hated being an apprentice, one guy made me clean the container out all the time really p'd me off and also being made to go down the manholes when drain testing.

done one today which wasn't one of my bests !!

unblocked a macerator in a chinese restaurant, fortunately for me it was not linked up to any toilets but was linked up to their cookers. Probably a year or 2s worth of fat and other gunk inside it, wasn't very nice cleaning it out

[dontknowitall]

[pauls]

sorry about the dog.

i hate toilets especialy cc they nearly always seem to weep from the doghnut when you do final check just before you want to leave. oh and bath taps in tight spaces.

 

[dontknowitall]

I think I mentioned it earlier in the thread but anything to do with water seems to be a nightmare ...

 

[pobsdad]

I sometimes put the donut washer on upside down,it seems to work better on some bogs.

Talking of which, when you find that your tap spanner ....this type.....



Doesn't fit the back nut on a tap (maybe european sizes or something?) ...And it's on a vanity basin or something where the recess it's in is tiny and hard to get anything in there anyone got any tips for getting the thing off without cutting it off from above?

 

[GQuigley67]

there seems to various sizes of these types of tap spanners, I have the one you are talking about which doesnt fit some back nuts, although I have seen ones with different sizes just haven't bought them yet.

 

[plumbitp]

If its a plastic backnut you can heat the tip of a chisel and melt your way through one side of it

That should be in the hints and tips thread!

 

[WaterTight]

I'd be worried the hot metal coming into accidental contact with the basin might do something though...probably wouldn't right?

Done it a few times with no issues, also used a couple of bits of 10mm copper flattened and bent into a u shape over the top of the box tap spanner for some smaller backnuts.
