Ha ha! Have some thanks.

Mr Picasso, you have just won the internet!!!!!!! Thats it! Case solved. It's a new basin too so dont need it but that'll be it. They could of at least provided some instructions or even just an inventory of parts, but nope. Thanks again all.

Quite! I've fitted it anyway and it all operates perfectly, but didn't want to miss something out. It might not be quite as long as 10cm, just going from memory. I'll check it out tommorow and maybe take a pic. Thanks for your quick responses tho folks!

Thanks Kevplumb, I did think so, as in it screws up from underneath then set the square lock nut to the required height? I did try it there but was difficult to screw in, and thought it odd why it has a nice finished chrome domed head to fit on when it is hidden in the inside of the slotted...

Hi everyone. Does anyone know what the threaded rod you get with a push pop up basin waste is for please? It has a chrome domed head on, which you can unscrew, and a square nut on. About 10cm long. I've not got a pic of it and cant find one one the interweb at present. TIA

Ta for the reply mate. Yes i'll try the basin mate today. It is a Mcalpine trap already. cheers

Hi folks, I have a bit of leak problem, wondered if anyone could hep please? I've put a new basin in and it's to be linked to the shower/bath waste (tho it's not yet), so I put an anti vac bottle trap on which is fine, until you run a full basin, then let the water out, or fill untill it comes...

Thanks Sparkybird, good answer! :D I hadn't actually thought of an RCD, and really it seems an obvious one now you point it out! :oops: My thoughts were tracked onto safe zones/conduit etc. Thanks greatly for pointing that out. chopchop. :wink:

LOL! Yes, well since Windows 1.0 first come out in '85! (It was on my very first IBM!!) And yes, exaclty, '95! In fact it was only called Paintbrush from Windows 3.0 (1990) thru to Windows 95, when it changed to just Paint and was the same prog thru to XP and I notice it has some slight...

Nice 1 folks, thanks for the quick replies. Thanks! Just used the Microsoft Paint that comes as standard on Vista. I do usually you Adobe (Photoshop C2 etc) but have just got a new PC and haven't installed all programs yet. Thanks again, I will get on with the job in the morning.

Hi there! This is my first post, looks like a good forum, plenty of useful info. I am wanting to add a 1g 2 way switch to a 3g 2w switch, as the middle switch on the 3g switch which leads to the light in the conservatory is currently just used as 1w, but we've made the conservatory bigger...
