Hey what are peoples opinions on 1.5 inch flexible waste pipe connectors am thinking of using one on a shower tray raised on a plinth to make connecting the trap easier. Have always hard piped before. But could see how using these would be easier.

Thanks have tighten the nuts and it now seems fine again, saved me £65 on a new one can't live without my benders.

Thanks do they usually last longer than five years then?

Its mainly the hook that wraps around the pipe that is digging in

Hey just recently my hilmor pipe bender has starting denting the pipes while bending. Its mainly the part that wraps around the pipe before the bender that's denting the pipe. Any one had this problem before? Is there anyway of fixing it or do I need to buy a new one. My hilmor benders about 5...

anyone tried packing a flexible tap connector out with 2 rubbers?

the woods underneath the fibre glass though like how most base boards are these days so will be hard to recess in to it any ideas? will try the flexi tap connector is there any way of packing this out with another washer?

Is trying to pack it out with 2/ 3 fibre washers a bad idea? I'm going to try a flexi tomorrow to see if that requires less thread than a copper tap connector to bite up.

the taps have quite a small thread on them I know I'd be able to get a different tap which would have a longer thread don't really want to do this though. The customer has brought things online from different places.

I'd probs get it to bite if I used 3 fibre washers guessing this isn't right though?

Its the same thickness all the way on the back of the bath

Its fibre glass, is about 1inch think there's a wood board encased in there fibre glass too were the taps are, noticed when drilled the taps.

Sorry I mean there isn't enough thread coming through the bath on the taps after the back nut to tighten a copper tap connector to I've tried doubling up on the fibre washers but still isn't enough thread to bite up to.

its a new bath, its not the pipework that's a problem its the fact the the tails ( threaded bit on the tap) that comes through the bath after I have tighten the back nut theres only like 4 threads after the back nut to tighten the copper tap connectors which isn't enough to get it to bite to the...

Hey I'm fitting a bath, bath was bought from somewhere different than the bath taps. With the bath being quite thick were the taps are and the tap tails being quite short, its left about 4 threads under near the bath. No were near enough to tighten the end feed 3/4 to 15mm tap connectors I have...
