Instead of your neatly done pipework use a flexible braided stainless steel tap connector.3/4" at one end (for the splitter ) with a 15mm compression or pushfit at the other. On this end put the outside tap. Or hard plumb it from the cold water pipe.

I use an old laser for in house printing and keep the inkjet for work going external. A litre of isopropryl alcohol is a good investment for any household and its good for cleaning printer gubbins like a waste sponge or print head. Inkjets are a royal pita whatever the price Infrequent use is...

Have you tried french car forum?

A well intentioned idea But beware. Any hole above 4.5 mm in size is likely to provide an entrance for bee swarms or wasps. The former can be difficult to remove alive or just expensive to destroy once within the fabric of the building. Eaves cavity walls soffits and chimneys are all favorites...

Done

I have a honey extractor with a three phase motor that has a vfd run off 240v single phase I need a backup drive on hand due to the nature of the job I have one of these now ready to install cheap vfd It has a myriad of functions but all I need is a simple on /off and speed control on the...

Bath waste installed without rubber seal in place. Leaked. Council plumber No 2 couldnt see problem but cut cut off pipe near the tee in the process and attempted to seal the stump with boss white. Leaked. Council plumber No 3 couldnt see problem but wrapped some ptfe tape round the thread just...

Ten years ago I was quoted £2500 for two 15 m long x 4 m high runs of scaffold for two weeks. I got on ebay and ordered six scffold towers and made my own ,bolting them to the walls.With the timber runs it came in at just under £1000.Plus I got to keep it all afterwards.

eps is nasty weak 70's stuff- similar effort to celotex with half the payback

Hi - I need some advice on motors. To cut to the chase would I need a separate starter unit on these; http://www.ebay.com/itm/SINGLE-PHASE-240V-ELECTRIC-MOTOR-0-18KW-TO-4KW-1400RPM-2800RPM-2-POLE-4-POLE-/191276593244 if fitted to a cement mixer? Some outlets say yes, some no. The background...

I have a (really) hard water supply(a kettle will fur up in a matter of weeks) electrically pumped up in blue plastic 25mm from the borehole via a floatswitch Im having a new boiler soon and was advised to get a filter on the incoming supply. I was thinking of the two stage phosphate filter...

Thanks westie I lived in the house at the end of that line for many years-the supply always seemed 'rough' PCs, lightbulbs, kettles,microwaves, Tv's etc never seemed to last long. Would this upgrade 'clean up' the supply? Is four grand reasonable given Im doing the donkey work ? Have I...

I have been granted long term use of a stable /livestock shelter that I can convert to a workshop. The floor is substantial concrete but has no dpc. The damp causes condensation to drip from the tin roof on a humid day. The obvious ideal would be to dig up the floor and start again with a...
