Anyone had any issues with fitting these?

I am re-doing facias and soffits, which means new gutters. Currently fitted are half round gutters but deep egg gutters have been suggested for the new install. No one seems to need the run off capacity of deep egg gutters(?), so why do they exist. Installers seem to recommend "deep flow"...

Have a Garage Flat roof 8m x 7m. Very slight run off on it. I needs replacing. What's the best solution for replacing it?

Thank you. I've usued one of those before but didn't think of it. Probarly because I can feel, just about but not quite reach, chuckies/ stones down there, which I am not sure it would shift. I'll try that if all else fails when the weather improves.

Thank you. Very useful link. I can't quite get my hand down the drain for long enough, in this weather, to try and work figure out the type. It's just too cold. Water sitting in there,quite far down, could be becasue it is a p-trap, or just becasue it sits that high with the blockage...

Does an LPG conversion fix this?

So I can drive in the local zone. Without Euro6 I get a fine.

I have a down pipe from the gutter, that goes down the side of the house and goes into a ground drain. Diagram below. I can get my arm all the way down to the blockage and have completely cleared that far, but can't reach round the 90 degree bend, shown, to get to the rest of the blockage. I...

I have a 2013 VW golf 1.6 TDi. It is not Euro6 emissions compliant. I wish to bring it up to Euro 6. I have had a look around and it seems there are no conversion kits. This is an emissions issue for filtering the exaust particulate as I understand things. How do you build an exaust filter to...

"Running the pipe like this Neutralises the acidic water" - do you mean it mixes with the sink water above the sink trap and therefore neutralises the acid as it runs off? or meaning something else ... As the condensate pipe currently runs it may not be possible to lift the pipe up as it runs...

That's a great solution. That's what we will do. I'm guessing the valved tundish will allow the end of the condensate pipe to breathe so that there is not a potential air lock between the tundish and the condensate trap in the boiler, ie works just like an open tundish but stops waste...

Yup. Odd indeed, as described previously. The condensate was left open to destroy the under sink cabinet until it was capped because it was thought, somehow, to be part of the sink overflow. Was capped mid October. We got half a bucket of water out of it when I removed the cap earlier...

The installation and service manual shows a trap, on page 42, under heading "Checking the condensate drain and cleaning the siphon" It appears they call the trap a siphon. The shape is clear.

I think that is why it was not connected, because the connection was upwards, and there were not enough remaining waste ports on the side of the sink waste u-bend. Don't think it will be an issue to connect upwards, if I can find a way to connect in there, because the amount of distance upwards...

details are correct. Cap has been removed. contents flowed into bucket until empty and cap replaced. Boiler now apparently fine. This pipe was open under the sink and dripping down ruining the under sink cabinet because it was wet all the time. When capped it was not understood to be the...
