oh ok, i thought it would have been against some regulations at least somewhere! i'll have a look at the joist stuff and do some measurements.....

hey guys, i'm currently renovating my bathroom and whilst lifting up the floorboards was surprised to see an electrical line running alongside my drainpipe, including near the pipe joints.......this surely can't be safe? and is there anything i can do, eg move the drainpipe or put some kind of...

hiya, i've removed some tiles and chased into the walls to lay some pipework for the shower, i plan on installing (plastic) wall panelling on the existing tiles, is it a good idea to cover up the pipework with some kind of waterproof material even though i plan on having wall panelling, and if...

eh? i know it'll fit, but i prefer not having a reduced bore size

actually, on reading the description more carefully, look like the bore size is 12.7mm........................so may look into oldbuffer's suggestion of 2 45deg turns.......will measure in the morning and see if it's doable....

thanks, i'm going to go for bernardgreen suggestion, i have flexibility on joining to the existing pipe lower down so can join the new copper at the bottom. i was worried about the bore sizes but forgot to bring it up in my initial post, some were as small as 8mm, although the majority were...

i thought it there was leak, i would rather it come out at the bottom, but on reflection it probably will do anyway!

i'm intending on chasing an (internal) wall to lay pipework for a shower. once i've done the chasing, i intend to wrap it in a waterproof membraneand clip it to the wall and then put wall panels over the area that is above the level of the bath, and leave the area below the level of the bath...

will do chief

oh i had no idea that plastic was that recent! having had a look at the prices plastic does seem more expensive, what made you go for plastic? and is it generally easier to fit or is there not much difference?
