The supply is 25mm MDPE but come to think of it, the 22mm to the bath will be pointless because the internal cold feed to the unvented is 15mm. The gravity fed tank used to have 22mm from the loft which is now disconnected. I'm not going to increase the flow rate anymore than the 15mm...

Unfortunately a hole is not possible because the joist happens to be in the centre of the house, so it's actually sistered with another of the same size and bolted together, the plans show this too, so it's not a repair job. If I drilled through both joists, I would end up going too far and the...

Hi, I am in the middle of a bathroom refit where we want to put wall mounted taps for the bath and basin. The joists are running parallel to walls where the basin and bath is situated. To facilitate altering the pipework so the pipes can run inside the walls I need to notch the joist closest...

Have you got a part in mind, ideally something I can find at a local plumbers merchant?

It's toilet to couple without a doubt. The push fit into the wall pipe is solid

See attached. Black connector is the original Abacus and the white is the McAlpine. Connection into frame is 90mm push fit. Thanks

Hi. I have recently done a bathroom refit and installed an Abacus wall hung WC frame and toilet. I'm having a problem where the pan connector seems like a poor design and leaks. When connecting to the WC off the wall to test, the seal seems really poor. The abacus comes with a 90deg elbow...

Thanks both. Well I will order the frame and WC Im after and go from there.

Hi, I'm looking to install a wall hung WC in a bathroom refit. Does anyone know if the frames and WC's are universal? I can see on some frame designs that the centres from the waste pipe to the flush pipe are 135mm, and the odd WC diagram also shows the same measurement, but some WC diagrams...

Well the loft space is pretty big actually, so I could simply put the pumped breaker tank at one end and make a faux wall when it comes to the conversion. At least that would be higher in the loft than the ground floor and the conversion to 22mm to the cylinder would be easy, but then we go...

So something like this https://www.screwfix.com/p/polytank-cold-water-coffin-tank-100gallon-uk-1670-x-690-x-580mm/59841? What pump would you recommend for something like this?

Really helpful info, thanks a lot. I guess with the 500L unpressurised tank you'd have more storage vs the accuboost before it runs out since the largest AccuBoost only holds half that I believe.

I have a large enough utility to house a larder cupboard next to the boiler but I doubt that would take 500L, but if it can be housed outside or in the garage then I have plenty of room. My original thought was to house the accumulator and pump in a small shed at the side of the house which...

I did ask my plumber are they all noisy and he said yea, generally they are. Keeping the vented also ruled out the eventual attic conversion since the header tank was right in the middle of the loft. I guess it's too late now. On the booster front, I have also seen the Stuart Turner ones...
