    Will an anti syphon eliminate blowback from sink?

    There's something wrong with your soil & waste system if this is happening. There's certain rules & guidelines regarding drains, soil & waste pipes.

    Why is every Which? Best Buy boiler made by Worcester bosch?

    You seriously believe they're impartial??!!! I've been in the trade over forty years, so you can take it from me they are far from the best boiler. As for Which, wiping your rsole is all that is good for - a loads of rubbish!!

    Will solvent-weld waste deteriorate in the sun??

    It'll go brittle & deteriate if not painted. We used MUPVC for years & it was great, but moved over to ABS - which is not so good & can discolour very quickly.

    Pressure test

    Same here Sandy, 16Bar hydronic test with water. On wee jobs & a clear site I Would use a foot pump & air for quickness, this is mostly done for 30 minutes while it's a tidy up, on a empty site at the end of the day.....👍

    Dual fuel towel rail adapter - tightens to wrong position

    Loctite 55 is by far your best option, it's very good at thread alinement. A Plumbers' Merchants may have a sample they'll give you FOC. I know of one DaftyDIYer that got a wee sample & that was all he needed...... :wink:

    A lot were built by the Clan Chiefs when they were fighting each other, then they built others when they became British aristocrats. I think you'll find the James vi of Scotland became James I of England, so we Jocks took control over Engerland........👍 We have now had TWO...
