Hi all, I'm fitting a Grohe wall hung toilet and the little tap they supplied that sits between the mains and the fill valve is confusing me.... See the picture but it says in the manual "connect to the mains without a seal" What connection do I need? I assumed I would connect the 2 with a...

Thanks for the comments. The relationship went sour with the builder at the end because we made him repair\replace broken stuff. Otherwise, I would definitely have him back. That said, if this is going to be a major pain then we will have to get him back. Currently, its wooden floorboards...

Evening, We've just bought our 1950's house and I'm in the process of removing a chimney breast but the side of the chimney breast was acting as part of my bedroom wall. Didnt think much of it until I started looking for replacement blocks and cant find 65mm thick blocks anywhere! They're are...
