What a gigantic ball-ache :roll: I sanded the waste and trap for about 90 mins and it fits now. FYI it's a Wirquin Quick Clac Pop up Bath Waste and i used a regular P trap, a Wirquin bath trap wouldn't have fit with the access available. Wouldn't recommend this POS. Waste of time.

It's a bath. The new and the old trap fit fine into the old bath waste...

Waste on the left 40 internal, trap on the right 41mm external. Trap doesn't fit inside waste by 1mm. Assumed it was a imperial-metric problem so I bought a new one. Same problem. Is this a faulty waste or do i need some kind of coupler?

I took the pump out and played with the activation valves with pliers. The pump rotors eventually came unstuck. Obvious pressure increase now!!

I've just installed all the pipe work fresh. Is there a easy way to check if a shower pump is working our not before I continue? I flushed the hot/cold sides of the system for 5 minutes before turning it on and you can hear each side of the pump click on when the outlet valves are opened...

How thick would the wall be between two terrace houses built in 1990. Is it single or double course and is there a cavity between them too?

It's for a shower feed so really needs to be full-bore

No allen key, just the slot. I have a new one, slot is just as massive. It's very difficult to turn, even with my biggest screwdriver. I may need to get a chiseldriver or something. Already slighty shagged the new slot. Full-bore Isolation valve

I need to turn off an isolation valve. By the looks of it's a full bore and it's very difficult to turn. I've already partially mashed up the slot that you turn with the biggest screwdriver I have. Could anyone give any hints as to what gauge screwdriver to get for these giants slots or what...

I'm just about to fit this flange. What techniques are there for changing which direction the outlet to the pump is going to face when I have it satisfactorily tight?

I'm looking at fitting this CT50 shower pump. On looking at the instructions it specifies preference for the use of 22mm pipe. But looking around the online retailers it looks like the supplied hoses are only 15mm?? :cry: Does anyone know if the connectors on these outlet hoses and inlets...

Very strange that they should both fail simultaneously

Hey just put the heating on for the first time this season. I have a small dripping coming from a couple of these gold things I have in my airing cupboard next to my HWC. The drip is coming from the little black plastic screw on these gold things. They were loose but now i've tightened them and...
