Thank you. I shall have a look at these.

Yes, Euro groove.

There is a channel, but it is very shallow and not, as far as I know, Euro channel. We did have restraining hooks holding them to the wall, but it would be nice to hold them partially open.

We have double UVPC conservatory doors that open outwards. They do not have restrictors and swing in the wind. I have tried to find some friction restrictors for them, but as they are an older design (about 22 years old) and not Euro profile, I am struggling to find any that will fit. Can...

Thank you for your replies, which have really helped. Taking out the gubbins in the waterless trap in the tray enables the tray to drain with both valves in place. I would rather not replace the original AAV with a vent as it vents directly into the main drain. Without it, the downstairs toilet...

Hello, Wayne. Yes, it does drain, which is how I have left it. However, I am just puzzled about the AAV and whether I was being unrealistic putting an AAV where I did. I had also hoped that it would help to stop the pipe overflowing if the pipe hbacks up for any reason.

When I fitted our shower tray, I installed the waterless trap that came with it. Whilst it stops hair going down the drain, it is not very good at stopping noise from the other drains. When the downstairs toilet flushes or the washing machine empties, the noise is heard upstairs. With the old...

It is fitted as per the instructions. You can hear the flaps being lifted as the wind blasts past the outlet, and then falling back into place when the gust stops again. James

We get a terrible draught through our kitchen extractor which vents outdoors. We have tried various back-draught flaps in the duct and hoods on the outside, but to no real avail. In all cases, the wind blowing past the outlet on the wall seems to pull the flaps open and let in a draught at the...

Thank you for the suggestion. Stuart Turner, the manufacturer, have told me where to buy a replacement vessel.

Thank you for the suggestion. Sadly, even with a new valve, the vessel does not maintain pressure for more than a day or so when pumped up. Water doesn't come out from the valve hole when the the insert is removed, so I assume that the actual vessel is leaking, rather than the membrane.

There are many threads on this topic already, I know, but I am trying to get it clear in my mind before I waste time and money. We have 22mm (3/4"?) wooden floorboards in the bathroom which we plan to tile with 600mm by 600mm tiles. The boards are sound, but have the usual irregularities...

Thank you for the replies which have given me a clearer understanding of how the pump works. James.

Thank you. I was going to use ply, or hardboard, but as someone gave me a roll of the foam, I was wondering whether it could be used.

It is odd. I noticed that there was a problem earlier this morning when the pump did not start properly for a shower and then, later, started to turn on and off randomly. Even when there was no pressure at all because I had taken the valve out to replace it, the pump only started when I turned...
