i wasn't clear sorry, it's two individual valves, independent of each other... ta

The new bath has deck mounted valves that feed into a filling waste like this. The filler has two inlets, one is blanked off off the other has an elbow joint. The questions is: can I mix the outlet from the valves and just feed into the single feed on the filler or do I need to remove...

Useful, thanks. I'll check the pressure but your comments about the bore are right -- all flexi 3/4 hoses I've seen are 13mm ID

Advice please: what would be the best way to connect these taps and this filler? The supply pipes are terminated in a iso valve with 22mm compression. The taps in and out are 3/4 BSP. The inlets to the filler is 1/2 BSP (which seems odd to me, possibly constricting the flow at the last...

they were pretty snug. I measured the diameter, also the circumference too with paper (no calipers!) before fitting and am pretty sure they're 22mm. Ta!

While you're all here :) : the 22mm copper pipe stubs coming out of the floor are fairly short, I've put compression iso valves on them for the 'time being' (i.e. the next three years whilst I do the shower) . However, he compression joints are weeping very very slightly: did them hand...

LOL! I was kind of expecting this so it's nice to be proved riight :D Thanks for all the replies gents!

Probably a really bad thing to do for many reasons :D but I've got a couple lying about, so.... The pipes are terminated in compression joint iso valves. (Yes I'm cheap, yes I choose shortcuts over doing a proper job, no I haven't got a clue what I'm doing :wink: )

cheers :D

I thought that was one of the functions of the HepVO - acting as an AAV but also as a one way valve for water and foul air.

It's not lead, just standard grey plastic. Suspect it is part of the original 1970 plumbing... Yes, it is a shallow tray - seemed a good idea at the time :) Why do you need a trap as well as a Hep vO?

Taking the old shower out and found a waste pipe coming into the shower waste. Traced this up to the loft - it runs across the loft and joins the soil pipe. I can't work this out - is it a (necessary) vent? It surely can't be an overflow?! Any ideas? It's a pain as it is in the way of...

great, thanks

When taking off old tiles in the bathroom parts of the skim has also come off with the adhesive. The plaster is sound apart from that. The skim is 1-1.5mm thick. New tiles to go on are 250x400. Is it likely that such patchiness will noticably affect the tiling or will the adhesive just...

CM907 installed and working nicely - cheers :D
