Well the warix flange I have bought has now had all of the corners sheered off from trying to tighten it! It needs at least another full turn before it's properly tight..... The iron nipple may re-instate the thread?

:oops: Having removed the original 3/4 inch connector in the top of the cylinder to replace it with a warix flange for the shower pump (the pump had originally been t'd from the down pipe from the vent and was creating air locks a sa result) the warix flange will not go in and now nor will...

They are copper Nige and also the bath was pobably originally fitted a bit before the wonder of flexible hoses. I suppose thinking about it they are slightly off from straight up....they can be removed then :D

Evening. I am about to re do the shower cubicle. Currently we just want to put up some plain white tiles and then re do the whole bathroom next year. I guess that I would be best to use Marine Ply rather than aquapanel if the tiles are going to come done in a year or so. Any...

I though as much Seco but it's always better to be safe than sorry. Cheers
