Excellent reply. Thanks.

I need to unblock a rainwater drain. The downpipe is fitted into a drain cover that will lift off, access is good. With the cover off I have removed all of the leaves. There is a black cap pushed into an outlet into the drains. I removed this and the water drained away. Should this be there...

I found an online calculator for pressure drops and I have input the number and. I worked out the head earlier to 0.13bar and the pressure drop has worked out at between 0.025 and 0.03 (we'll call it 0.03). Leaving 0.1bar at the tap? Does that sound feasible...

Okay. 8) Thank you for everyone's input. I'll let you know the outcome after speaking the the client.

Nobody mentioned 0.01bar, or was that sarcasm? So how do I work out what I have at the tap and what tap I need to offer? There must be some simple sums to do?

I doubt it because because the small first saw on a the table saw cuts in the opposite direction. Also when cutting laminate or melamine the reserve side of the cut is the finished edge. To get both sides finished neatly at home set up your router to trim the edge. Run the router along a...

Proper professional table saws have two blades. The first is a small blade that cuts only part way into the reserve edge, then a main large blade that finishes the cut. The small blades first removes anything that may chip so leaves a perfect edge on both sides. Any decent timber workshop...

Those measurements would be roughly correct for this application too. Ceiling is 2.4m and I can just get my arm into the cold water tank. The worktop is set at 900mm from the floor (give or take as the floors are not level). So 2.2 minus 0.9 is 1.3. Does this mean 0.13bar at the tap? What...

Painted MDF could look very well if you make it well enough. All of your cut edges would need to be perfectly square. For this I'd either get yourself a circular saw or you could work out what sizes you need and ask somewhere like B&Puke to cut it for you on their table saw. Remember to...

Okay thanks. It is a single storey flat, the cold water tank that feeds the hot water tank can go no higher than ceiling level (2.4m ish), it is already as high as it can be placed. Re-pipe with 22mm copper? How much would need re-piping, all of it to the tap then reduce to 15mm again...

Thanks for your help. I don't know for sure but the mixer supplied with the kit have the two small flexi hoses that screw into the bottom of the mixer so I am guessing that this is the wrong type of mixer?? (And before someone jumps in feet first, I don't design the kitchen I just fit...

So do none of you plumbers know how to permanantly repair this sort of situation with a retro fit solution?

I'm a carpenter not a plumber, but thanks for you help.

I have just installed a new kitchen into a flat where they have a hot water cylinder on the same level as the kitchen. Before I started the hot water pressure was very low, it had low fitting budget type taps. Now I have installed I high swan necked mixer tap and the pressure of the hot water...

A run of coping stones fell last night. Approx 4m x 0.6. The roof pitch is way steeper than 45 degrees. We also look out over the Bristol channel so there can be LOTS of wind and rain. Now, when we are finding quotations should we be asking for the stones to be mechanically fixed as well as...

I realise that this is an old thread but I am hoping someone can give me an answer. My boiler is the same and it also leaks from this same area. Ours has a small leak from the copper pipe on the bottom left. The manual says it is a push fit connection. It is leaking at the connection. Can...

Problem - bouncy floorboards Today I lifted some carpet to expose the floorboards. I noticed that many floorboard had not been fixed down properly or not at all. I also lifted a board to look along the joist ends. Every end of joist is floating. The walls are stone and mortar, many...

Just a quick update for anyone searching in the future. The shower is now commisioned. The problem was that the o-rings (as said above) had not been positioned properly in the factory. Re-set them where they should be and all is well....

Yep plumbed from the bottom. The leak is at the back if the filter housing.

The drip is above the push fit inlets. Looks like it aroung the filter area. Nevertheless I'll try pushing the pipe in further..
