Thanks for that Bolshy that helps a lot, would I still have to use a stopcock after the tee or can I use a full bore level valve :?: just phoned UU, asked if they need to inspect blue pipe in trench etc, not much help when I mentioned wanting to run feed to shed :cry: , they said talk to a...

There will be a cold tap with a sink in the building for my homebrew. So does this DCV or NRV need connecting as per the diagram (after the tee) or can it be connected in the garden building, I’ll probably have another stopcock in there anyway :?: I might use a full bore valve for garden...

Hi Thanks for your replies. :D I’ve not contacted UT yet, thought I’d come on here first and get some info and ideas, so I know what I’m talking about when I speak to them. Not being a plumber I had to look up DCV, now I know. Jim, can’t see the image you posted, why does that need...

Hi My next door neighbour recently replaced his mains water pipe. United Utilities let him dig his own trench and lay blue MDPE 25mm polypipe. As long as their spec was adhered to, i.e trench depth….. etc etc…. I want to do the same and replace the old pipe in the front garden. I read...

Some background info: Indirect CH system with expansion tank in loft, main feed and return pipes next to central wall in back bedroom with a radiator installed on each side of wall in middle of house, 12mm microbore. Recently wanted front bedroom radiator moved from wall to window bay, new...

Masona, thanks for reply. I see what you mean, but I guess I’d still have drill holes for the bolts. Is there such a thing as a tekbolt :?: in which case I could go through sheet and wood in one go then put the nut on and saw off the remaining drill part. Any idea how I would attach the...

hi masona, nice to here from you again I already have 500 tekscrews that self drill the metal also have a load of stitching screws a well. The company worked it out and the sizes to go with the instructions. Sounds more complex for me (DIYer) to drill roof sheets for bolts I'm just...

Thanks oldun and masona, much appreciated, sorry for delay still witering and thinking/drawing crazy diagrams, :shock: will be back soooooon, it's becoming clearer Thanks, brilliant advice, Brewhut :D

Interesting that Masona, A while ago I contacted a truss company, Cheshire trusses or something with the dimensions and they said their machine couldn't cut them for some reason. Have you any details of the "gang nail trusses company" or a website address :?: and will they be able to...

Thanks everyone for comments. Masona, thanks very much for taking the time for your solution, much appreciated. Looking at your materials thickness gives about 18mm + 55mm = 73mm + 2200mm = 2273mm. 2500mm – 2273mm = 227mm, Tan -1 (227/1300) = 9.9° Pitch Yipee :D A couple of...

Hi Masona, Thanks for you reply. The shed is next to my neighbours fence boundary (I get on with him ok) the other three side are no problem. I was going to use Versasteel like you and got a good quote from Paul. Their system is ok for 10deg, but not below. This other system can handle...
