Hi I've recently posted this on other forums so if you've seen it before just ignore it! Also this is not Perth (my partner) but Justin writing, somehow the forum insists that I'm not me! Anyway...: Hi our neighbours septic tank is on our land and they have rights of access for "maintaining...

thanks - but could you say that in baby language! 22 x 15 no6 - is that a part no. or something what does it look like ? Could I use a straight adaptor thing that has a 22mm comp fitting and a 1/2 female threaded bit or is that something completey different? Cheers

Next annoying item is : need a flexible tap connector - 500mm long 22mm x 1/2"bsp and guess what none existent :shock: so either anyone got a source or neatest way to go from 22mm hot pipe (gravity system) with 22mm isolator end waiting - to a - 1/2"bsp kitchen tap thread :evil...

Thanks for all the info - have just ordered mcalpine SSK2 kit as can't be a***d with trying to mix and match a box of odd shaped bits.

Don't mean to seem even dimmer than I feel (':?') But is this what I'm looking for T5M-A 95° Bend Multifit × BSP Coupling Nut by www.mcalpineplumbing.com/productlist.asp bought from www.bhl.co.uk also is it a mcAlpine T12a-3 coupling that I would need to join from a...

Thanks I shall have a look for that. I wondered about the shallow bath traps - they look like they wouldn't come much lower than an 90 deg elbow. want to keep the thing as tight to the bottom of the sink until further back. I'll go an check out the twin sink thing.

Hi there, wonder if anyone can tell me what I'm looking for as I can't find it in BES or anywhere. Under the sink in the utility room the threaded sink waste (thing sticking out of bottom of sink that has plug on top) has attached to it and 40mm elbow which is threaded like a tap connector...

Hi, i have recently taken some old imperial taps off our cloakroom sink and want to replace them with some metric bristan 1901 vanity sink taps. of course the threaded tails are to short. Basically the old taps went to an elbow connecting with a threaded connection and at the other end of...

Just wanted to say thanks for help. have done test and think it all seems fine first gauge wouln't go above 90 but left it to settle for a while and then it went up to 100 which we left for 10mins and it only dropped by 1. so going ahead with putting bath stuff in today. cheers

ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz! just a thought but we could disconnect the pipes on outside of house form where they meet the brown pipe and just literally pressure test the grey pipe and joints on the 7m and loo run and this would mean the utility trap and manhole etc wouldn't come into it. Then if...

to just make a boring story even more boring! the bath and sink have presently got 40mm and 32mm waste pipe sticking out of floor and into blabk bungy thing in grey pipe below there are no traps/water near these yet. infact I'm beginning to wonder if there ever will be!

hi, we have one long run of 7m starting at kitchen sink (presently with black bung thing in to recieve waste pipe. This 7m run goes at a slope start to the back wall of the house where it runs under the bathroom sink (tee/elbow here) and straight on under where bath will be (tee here) then out...

hi builder has long gone, we just had him in for a day to dig trenches and put the new outside soil pipes in - it won't be him whos back to test it and infact I think he has moved down to England now. I just wanted to test it so that we wouldn't have to take the bath out,lift...

Hi, our builder has suggested we don't bother with an intermediate drain test but I really don't want to destroy the new bathroom if a leak shows up on final test and would like to check it in stages. we have just got a drain testing kit to do an intermediate test on the grey waste pipe...

Hi, it is a kaldewei saniform plus metal bath 1500x700 from bathstore which doesn't seem to have come with any hanging brackets but has pretty sturdy feet to go on the bottom and as far as I can remember was a good thickness and not the tinny one. was going to run a wooden baton along wall to...

cool didn't think of that - so where it's tight in the corner ie the 90 deg bit i just keep gouging until it moves in enough that the bath is touching at both outer ends and then tidy up gouges with filler or just rely on all the adhesive,etc filling in the rough gougy bits. Just as well I...

oops - read your first reply as saying you would tank it! have now re-read it and see you said not to. good news. have checked walls with a straight edge and alarmingly realise that the corner the bath will go in is not actually 90 deg! well it is for the first 2" and then it widens out...

hey thanks for your quick reply hopefully wall is even as it is newly plastering. if slightly uneven what size gaps along straight edge are acceptable? so basically i need to prime the wall and then also tank it before adhesive - wasn't sure if priming was same as tanking. and i don't...

Hi, have read through the priming/tanking posts and think I've got it. we have a new bathroom which has green plasterboard around the bath and a gypsum plaster skim over the top. we will have a shower going over the bath. 1. I rub the plaster down and wipe it to remove dust. 2. I paint...

Hi whats the best way of finding the source i.e structural or condensation - the fact it looks dry now I suppose is because it has no floor covering on it at present and it can evaporate and so doesn't build up to look wet. cheers
