I managed to get something very similar to the Hepvo from a local plumbers merchant. I also bought some new pipework and 90 degree connectors. Can you guess what cockup I made this time? I bought 40mm solvent weld pipe and the trap uses 40mm push fit connectors. Stupidly, I thought these...

Do you know where I can get one quick. I'l be in trouble if I don't get this sorted soon. the washing's piling up! :)

@Hugh I think you may be right. When shopping around I spotted a waterless trap called a Senzo. Do you think this would be suitable in line with two pieces of 40mm pipe and then into the push fit 90 degree elbow? From what I can see, it's fine for washing machines, a lot neater and I...

Hi all, I have upvc windows in my home and several are draughty on the hinge side. When I've looked around the windows it appears to be a problem with the little plastic wedge things (sorry, I don't know the terminology) on the hinge side of the window. All of the windows have a similarly...
