I bough the fitting in the end. https://www.toolstation.com/made4trade-compression-tank-connector/p54014 The fitting has a 7/8" and not a 3/4" BSP thread on it like the other plastic junk one I had before so i had to make a bigger hole in the tank. I fitted it, than fitted a bit of old 22mm pipe...

not at a proper and local mans plumbers merchants they should not be! (unless they are just con men like rest of them) The store I used before used to charge me NOT A LOT in differance between 10, 15 and 22mm size. unlike the mega corps SC and TS that would charge more then double for a not 15mm...

Thanks! But is the tank thread the same as the other tank thread, 3/4" BSP so it will match the whole I have cut in the existing tank PS I have to say that these mega corps SF and TS do rip people off when its the odds sizes like not 15mm. that seam a lot of money for a fitting

Should the washer be over 5mm thick? should it be made from rubber plastic or metal?

the windows dont open! and not supposed to be. it is to cover the gap between the window and in interior window frame

So if we where to go on the notion of blocks and filling the gap with cement then how many blocks do you think i will need? and how much cement sand and hard cord do i needs as well? Is the mix the same for the filler as the blocks I presume it is a solid wall and yes it is an enclosed...

Hear are the messurements of the windows in cm by length, height and width, please not that the width is not that acurate due to the fact that half the glass is presnet and the other half is boarded up with wood 150x165x18 167x87x17 88x165x15 84x82x17 I though pouring cement would be the easy...
