gasket

Hi, can anyone help me identify this type of door seal? We have 3 on the bottom of each external timber door and quite a few have perished. Can't seem to find anything similar on the web. Thanks, Brian.

Hi guys, I am having trouble with a tap that runs even when stopped. I know it is the cold side by using the isolator valves. I have removed the lever from the tap handle, and then unscrewed the shroud which then allowed me to access the cartridge which I unscrewed from the tap. However, I...

Hi past few years I've noticed our patio doors seem to let a draft in I've tightened up the keeps messed with the hinges outside etc and they have improved but you can still feel the cold in the bottom corner. Noticed the rubber gaskets on the doors look a bit worn although the house is 9 years...

Hi all! Long term lurker, first time poster here - been using DIYnot forums for many years and always managed to find an answer, alas this one has me stumped so time to create an account and get posting! We have some bifold doors in our kitchen that occassionaly leak in a very specific place...

Hello , had the cover off the other month and saw this gap around the boiler flue duct. Just wondering what should be around it as it doesn't look correct? Should there be a gasket around it? Boiler is an Ideal W2000 Thanks in advance Daniel

Hello, I am wondering if my window gaskets are replaceable? As they are mostly broken it seems to be impossible to get them out or they are not suppose to come out. Any advise would be appreciated Thanks IMG_2945 by Greg_0ry1 posted 5 Dec 2019 at 5:14 PM IMG_2946 by Greg_0ry1 posted 5 Dec...

Hi, I have a 06 plate vauxhall zafira 1.6 club. It's done 98k miles. I haven't had it long but the coolant is like grey sludge (which I know is a blown head gasket as oil is getting into the water). But before I bought it, the car had been sitting for a good 6 months. So I cleaned the coolant...

I am looking for suggestions of techniques or tools for removing old and perished bubble/flipper gasket from the narrow slot. Where the old gasket material has gone very non-flexible (mostly along the bottom edge), I have found that the barbed section just tears or snaps where it joins the...

First post! I've searched the forum but not found a similar problem. I'm replacing internal wedge gasket that has shrunk in a conservatory (big temperature differences I guess). When I insert the new gasket it crushes the edge of the aluminium foil tape around the DGU. The new gasket isn't...

I have been looking at replacing some perished uPVC door and window gaskets, and taken aback by the *huge* range of types available. Would I be horribly incorrect in assuming that if the barbed rubber 'arrow' section is the right size to fit in the slot, and the bubble or flipper sections are...

I apologise if these sound silly questions, but I would love some advice on making threaded fittings weep-proof. I have 1/2" Danfoss Randall RA-G Single Pipe TRV Body which comes with a fitting which screws onto the 1" OD outlet of the TRV and screws into the radiator. (see...

I think I've traced the condensation accumulation under the metal covers attached to the frame and window which then runs down the seals and runs into the bottom corners on worn seals. So I duly ordered the seals online, and this weekend tried to fit them but came unstuck fitting the seals to...

Hi all, I'm in the process of replacing the sealed units in my windows (well, planning it) and I seem to have hit a wall. I've spent many an hour trawling the internet trying to find a replacement U-channel type gasket to replace the current 30 year old ones, but I can't find the same ones...
