Thanks for confirming my crude suspicion ill nedd to find if it has a long radius bend entering the sewer, rather than a long drop.

HI all, ive been asked to move a WC from another room across a small landing into the main bathroom. The original soil pipe would now be about 8ft from the new wc position and i dont think there is sufficient fall any new soil branch pipework to connect the WC back to the original stack...

thanks tricky T will give it a go today.

Hi All I have a soil pipe that comes up into the bathroom through the floor which is too far away from the wall so the close coupled wc is about 12 inches away from the wall. Ive sorted an alternative connection to the main stack but need to bung/cap the soil pipe in the floor. the pipe...

Hi all does anyone know if anyone makes a silent/quiet fill float opperated valve for a cold water storage vessel? weve just got a new digi shower (mira platinum) and the water is now being drawn off quicker making the valve whistle when closing off. is it a case of just a new valve or...

Hi All, I have a 3 bar stuart turner shower pump, which serves a shower room (the pump is in an airing cupboard in this room) and another bathroom about 2m away. The hot inlet to the pump is drawn from a techflange ( I think this is a version of the essex flange but the inner pipe bends...

i had exactly the same problem with a shower waste cover. Completely fine with the cover off, but shower starts to fill up with it on. If the water goes down the shower waste without the cover on then there shouldnt be a problem with the pipework. Is the shower cover about 4 inches in...

OK, all the current pipework is at least 20 years old So the stopcock should have 10mm earthing connected to consumer unit which is nextdoor (handy) and all other pipework (which are not connected in some way (cold to loo or cold to basin)) should be connected together via clips and...

Hi ive just pulled up the floor in a bathroom im about to renovate and there is no bonding on any of the pipework. The stopcock is under the floor here. There are no electical appliances inthe bathroom(shaver socket or elecy shower) although there is a shower pump in the room nextdoor. is...

are you trying to increase the pressure at all hot outlets or just the shower in the bathroom? if its just the shower then you'll need to attatch a surrey or essex flange to the hot tank and take that outlet to the shower. but if your suggesting that its a short term fix then why bother.

in a market where everyone is feeling the pinch you wonder why no one would want the prospect of training a future competitor. roll yer sleeves up, put an add in the paper and get yer hands dirty. Work for friends, do your own bathroom and when your old and successful you can look back and...

move the oven

you could try a stuart turner. theyre the best pumps around but arent cheap. They make a "showermate" fed on 15mm pipework and rated at 1.5 bar, which is marginally stronger than the triton. link[/url]

bite the bullet and buy the shower valve you like. get some speedfit couplers and elbows and amend the pipework

bathstyle is right, low pressure sometimes causes the water to dribble out of your taps so they are removed to increase the flow

get yer missuses hairdryer to it before you take it off. The liquid inside will expand and close off the valve.

i agree with bathstyle, some shower valves will only turn 270 degrees from say 7 o clock on the dial anticlockwise through to about 3 o clock. However the spindle underneath will turn a full 360 degrees. if the installer has put the controller on full tilt the wrong way then youll never...

you dont say how you created the bends are they compression or soldered joints

if youre tank in the loft is sited on or just above the joists then you probly wont have enought pressure to run the hot side of the shower. as a rule you need 1meter distance from the bottom of the cold water tank in the loft to the shower outlet on the wall in the bathroom. if you are...

i think youll need a female iron rather than a tap connector you can get 3/4" female iron to 22mm compression or some such like. http://www.edirectory.co.uk/pf/880/mia/d/female+iron+elbow+22mm+3+4+compression+fitting/pid/1418268 this one is an elbow, but you get the gist
