Hello all, Just a quick question, i'm about to buy one of these and would like to know why i should'nt buy one from h-i-e plumbing direct? :? Or why i should'nt buy one at all. I'm about to buy on-line, the site looks good - are they? thanks.

Thanks for your input, BUT after looking into it im going with good old copper. (that will put a smile on Kevs face), 1. Its cheeper than plastic. 2. The pump instructions say to keep all bends/joins 'as free flowing as possible' Why do people use plastic pipe? I can see it would have...

The taps i've got for my new bathroom have a small grub screw under the small colour dot (red/blue). They pop out, undo the screw - Bobs ur uncle. :)

Thanks for all your helps. I did ask about plastic, but some (kev) didnt think it was a good idea. So i've done it all in copper end-feed :) (hope it don't leak!)

Thanks.... Have you not seen the latest trend.. Underground baths.. :oops: Why don't people like BES tell you what this is for, so it don't embarrass people like me, and waste time for people like you. :)

Hi all, as some of you may know in refitting our bathroom, but need to know; :? 1. How do i know if i need to use DZR tap fittings?, (i was going to use compression) 2. Do i need to use Parallel or Taper thread on the bath/sink taps?

Hi guys, Thanks for all your help, but i think i've got it sorted. I have gas c/h boiler & hot water tank. The towel rail is plumbed into the c/h system on its own loop (maybe installed after), with 15mm pipe?? Why its gone onto 22mm i don't know, so ill get rid of the 22 and use 15, why not?
