Hi There,
So we are having this fixing frame installed, and it seems to be missing an o-ring as per the picture.
The White Pipe is the verticle Flush Pipe (18 in the diagram), the external diameter of that is 2 inches. The horizontal flush pipe sits inside that (5 in the diagram). The groove...
The bleed valve is at the top right of the rad, facing downwards.
On the old rad it was on the top left, and ot would gradually get worse and sometimes it's be fine for a while.
So before we did the bathroom, the original rad would need bleeding on the regular. I put it down to a ****ty bathroom job and possibly shoddy pipe work.
Ripped the bathroom out re did the pipe work, and put in this new radiator.
I noticed that the very top bar still doesn't heat up properly...
Hey,
So I have this kind of Tower Rad installed:

As per the pictures attached it doesn't use the standard 1/2” BSP valve size, what is it using?
I am guessing it is a 1/4?
Cheers
That's really interesting, so I have 15mm tolerance I guess that would help with a slightly wonky wall.
So I can make sure it is level etc
I was thinking of using some silicone around the screw head and once it's dry that should be fine.
I'll be putting some silicone into the hole as well...
I'm going through the install guide for this Victoria Plumb glass shower screen and I don't quite understand what it means in the attached picture.
0~15mm gap, does it mean the screen should not butt up right into the mounting frame and there should be 0~15mm gap?
The reason I ask this is that...
So just to confirm I ordered McAlpine Straight Telescopic Socket Extension For WC Pan Connectors WC-CON-EXT and it seems to be working as expected, no leaks!
Thank you for your input!
Yeah I tried for the life of me and couldn't get them to tighten, tried brass and copper olives and ptfe on the olives. I gave up and bought flat-faced isolation valves instead.
I have a plumber in now doing other work and he has made them work without issue, so clearly its me being crap ha
Hey everyone,
I bought a few packs of these as they are supposed to be good for connecting flexible pipes to standard isolation valves.
For the life of me I can't get the olive to tighten enough to create a water tight seal. I tighten it as was as I can and I've even tried putting some ptfe...
Nope there is nothing, I emailed them and they said they don't support anything other than a direct connection and using anything else is unsupported and voids the warranty.
Which is fair enough, I thought it might be the fins and I saw one other post on here from 2019 by someone that said they...
Mark,
What extension did you use for it, as I'm looking to use the wc3 with a pan connector as well.
I'd msg you privately but don't think it allows me to
Cheers
So I have been building out an en-suite and I've done the waste pipework for the basins and the shower.
To get the WC to hook up to the WC3 I need a straight connector, not very long but the standard built-in connector isn't enough. I've tried a McAlpine one:
McAlpine Macfit WC Straight...
Hey Everyone,
So I have skimmed plasterboard before and can do that pretty well.
But I had a partition put up and that was boarded and skimmed. I have had to rip a section out this weekend as I wanted to lay some pipework into the wall.
As you can see from the attached picture I just ripped...
