Lee-King, that is the best reply ever :D Very helpful thankyou.

Hi Just about to install a power shower and I will run the pipes under the floor and hoping to hide them in the wall to the shower approx 2m, any tips on how to do this please? Do I need to chase out the wall from the shower right down to the floor or can I come out as soon as I drop below...

Just having a look now, good man.

Hi, Can anyone share their prefered place to buy quality tools on the net, apart from Screwfix where esle would you recommend, Toolstation, Toolmix? Alan.

Only just seen this reply sorry Nige, do you think a normal compression tank connector is suitable then? Any links to stores that sell hemp grommets? One other question I would really like to run a hot water pipe from the cylinder in the landing cupboard up via the loft and drop it down into...

Actually ignore this post, after a bit of research i have decided to go with an Essex Flange/Techflange. Thanks again.

Just one more thing if I may, I will be fitting a surrey flange on the cylinder should I use any paste with this fitting? Thanks

Then I thank you all for your sharing your knowledge :D

I will make sure i clean up afterwards, good tip with the magnet. But to my original question would i need any sort of compound/silicone or is just using the rubber washer on the fitting fine? Thanks.

Hi again, When fitting the compression tank connector do use any compound or silicone or just go with the washer on the fitting?

lol tight aint the word, will buy that holesaw and try pass the bill over to them :D Thankyou for all the help guys.

Me too, but Its actually the inlaws that want a power shower installed without any extras :wink:

Ok so i had a quick look in the dark and the rim of the tank was about 1 inch thick, I should have investigated further :oops: . So we can assume from your reply that its not going to be so thick maybe more a couple of mm. Can you advise me on which tool would be best to cut into it for a 22mm...

Hi Im installing a shower and I want to run a cold water supply from the cold water tank, the problem is its a galvanized steel tank about 1 inch thick so how would I cut into this tank, can I use an ordinary hole saw? Also what tank connector would you use, link would be usefull...

I know but im still dont know what it means, or do you mean we shouldnt be discussing this in this forum, if so im sorry.
