How about if I were to replace everything above the tap, including the tee, is there a fitting that will go onto the top of the tap (a compression) that I could then continue with push fit fittings?

Hi all, cheers for all the replies, I would replace the whole thing if I was sure I could get a fitting that will fit the stopcock pictured earlier.

Hi, internal is 13mm so yes, as best to 1/2 inch as you'll get. External is 18mm. Picture of stopcock, comes from the meter up though the floor and splits at a tee. Don't want to take the pipe off there if I've nothing else to replace it with, as you can see there a wider bore pipe going off...

Hi all, We've got this black plastic pipe running round to the back garden from a very old stopcock. I want to connect to an outside tap. As you can see it is bigger than 15mm but smaller than 20mm. Is it an old imperial pipe and is there any way to convert it to 20mm or 25mm mdpe?

Well I've already started with brick so will carry on - got a bit of an obstacle going round a pipe but other than that, my only concern is the plasterer saying "Who the hell bricked this up????" :D

Ok - I'm having a go at this one on my own I reckon. Just need to know what sort of bricks I need to get - I'm assured that they don't need to be anything special as its going to be covered and that I must get an airbrick (although they appear to be a different size to the normal bricks) and...

Hi Chaps - Our toilet overflow is dripping very slowly. On inspection inside the cistern, the ballcock (although it is up as far a it will go) is still letting a little drip more into the tank therefore the overflow is dripping also. So I know why its doing it - my question is, do i need a...

hi - no blokages in the system as far as i can dismantle it... it runs fine with just the motor, fine with the hepa filter COVER (but no filter), cuts out if the filter is on.... BUT if i don't put the Hepa filter on but add the cyclone/bin, it still cuts out (which says to me its not the...

I've taken the dyson apart now and cleaned the cyclone - and its still cutting out after 5 minutes. Are there any other filters i'm missing apart from the circular one on the side of the motor???? Can't believe its still not working. ps....lots of crap came out of the cyclone but...

Hi there - having a problem with my DC07 Animal. It's started cutting out after about 5 minutes - I'm guessing it is overheating and must have a safety switch. I've cleaned the filter on the side of the motor, but is there another one that I need to clean out??? - and if so can anyone...

OK - It might not be a combi - Sorry - Just a boiler down in the kitchen (Potterton Suprima) :D They not for the shower i don't think (they're both Mira and run off the the water pipes directly as a mixer)

Hi all - quick decription for you. We have a combi boiler downsatairs and a cylinder with a stat on it upstairs - most rads have TRVs on them and there's a room stat in the hall. We have good heating now and the hot water ok (unless we use a load of it) So what's the problem??? I'm...

All done - Thanks a lot for your help here - It works a treat and no-one got blown up. Thanks again - Great site :D

Great - I'll give it a go (once the missus has finished watching something on the telly) - then its power off and reconnect. Or am I safe to do it as long as the isolator is off at the timeswitch???

Just so I'm sure I understood the post So nothing connected to terminal 2 of the new stat (marked SAT) just red to C (terminal 1) and Yellow (with little red sleeve on it) to terminal 3 (marked Call)???
