OK. What about the return that I mentioned?

Sorry, where do I put it?

I'm about to dot and dab with 9.5mm Plasterboard ready for a plasterer but have a question with the returns on this entrance. The existing plaster up to the middle of this entrance is just 5mm proud so I can't glue a piece of plasterboard. Would a plasterer just plaster up to the existing...

What size washer do you think. How would I measure

The Thread doesn't seem to detach.

I had to remove a shower arm as there is a leak behind the tile (result of adding a presurised cyclinder) and when I put it back the arm doesn't line up when tight. The plumber had wacked loads of PTFE on it and I think now that we have had a Pressurised Cyclinder fitted the lack of fit has...

DIYer here, I'm about to dot and dab a new extension and I need to join it to existing plaster work. Any ideas? The plasterer will tape and put edging on. Also, what distance from the wall should the plasterboard be spaced? First fix cabling is done but no socket boxes have been placed...

I have a immersion tank (1985) and a Salamander pump that runs 2 showers and 1 bath. The pumps keep failing and speaking to the Technical Director os Salamander, the wrong pump is being used AND I need an S Valve fitting on the tank. There's a chance that fitting the valve on an on tank will...

The Stuart Turner Monsoon is designed to fit to 22mm pipework - mine is 15mm. Is it OK to connect it to 15mm? I'm looking at the 2 Bar twin pump

I've had 5 Salamander Pumps in the past 7 years. I got the original from Screwfix and wwhen I take it back they simply replace it FOC. Previously the pumps just packed up - one evidently had a broken bearing. The last time, I upgraded from the CT50 to the CT75 in case the CT50 wasn't man enough...

How do I check/fix a flow sensor issue?

I have a Salamander CT75 supplying two showers and a Bath. Recently the pump has started to stay on after turning off the shower or bath. Repeated turning on and off stops it. Nothing has changed plumbing wise. Is this an indicator of an issue? Cheers Kevin

Out of interest Exedon, is the Stuart Turner 3 Bar a straight swap, plumbing wise, for the Salamader CT50? Could an amateur swap it out?

Do I need an S Flange if the pump is on the floor - 3 feet from the top of the Tank?

I had a Salamander CT50 Pump fitted around 5 years ago to supply a Bath/Shower and an en-suite Shower. It worked fine for 3 years then it started making a racket (probably bearing failure) and I replaced it. The second one lasted just under a year, the third about 6 months and the fourth is now...
