Whack the nut gently, repeatedly, and all the way around with a light hammer - you'll eventually drive it off, unless it's been tightened up stupidly tight onto the tube.

Thanks for this - I'm trying to track down a local reseller.

Got it in one. And it's not a standard size or shape, so a standard wine rack won't cut it sadly. And no, it won't look naff when it's finished...

Can't improve on the plumbing advice, but you might try something like chocolate or flowers for the screaming wife. HTH.

Actually I'm making a bottle store, so this is nothing to do with plumbing, but I think this is the best place to look... I need some pipe big enough to hold a wine bottle - 75-80mm outside diameter. Standard sizes don't work - gutter downpipes too small (68mm); soil pipe too big. Any...

Nearly finished the kitchen; dampers on the drawers was meant to be the finishing touch. Bought a pack of 10 on eBay for the princely sum of £10... Fitted first one - MARGINAL difference on closing when the drawer was empty, no difference at all when there's stuff in it. OK, it's asking a...

Fair point - if the consensus is "no problem" I'll build the floor to allow for it. I don't want to discover it's not OK in a week's time when the kitchen fitting work has excluded all other options. The RGI can physically lay the pipe, but I need to prep a cavity in the floor now. Looks OK from...

I know this. (sigh... how did I know I was going to have to explain all this) If the gas pipe will run across the floor it needs to be planned in right at the start of the job. The cooker/hob won't be ready for fitting until a week later. I do not wish to pay for 2 visits from the RGI, and it...

Kitchen redesign... To match the level of the adjacent living room I need to raise the kitchen concrete floor by 40mm (using 2x18mm ply sheet, plus tiles). At the same time I'd like to prep the cooker installation by laying a gas pipe across the room. This would mean putting a copper tube ON the...

Sold. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the very prompt reply Crafty. True, but I felt the regs are trying to assure least disruption in the event of needing to isolate one unit. In this case isolating all three units to service any one is trivial (it means lighting the oven/hob with a match temporarily). Neat, yes...

It's a new installation; cooker and hob are both gas, so require power only for the ignition. Don't know the rating of the cooker hood - not delivered yet - but assume it'll need a 3A. I'm anxious to avoid a mess of FCUs on the wall... Can I spur from the ring main to a SINGLE 3A FCU and...
