Ah, that's a good alternative if I cannot find the correct size. Thanks.

Hi, yes it is 450 wide.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately, I am limited for space as the dishwasher is at the end of the worktop and then there's my back door.

Yes sorry, it's the oak style shaker range. I did find a unbranded one on Screwfix but seemed a bit expensive.

I seem to be having trouble obtaining a door front for an integrated slimline dishwasher, can anyone suggest a good source please? I got nearly all my other stuff from B & Q but for some strange reason they don't do this item.

I see what you're saying, that's what I intended doing; isolating the header tank by tying off, closing all the valves and then draining down, perhaps letting one of the rads drain to allow air in to facilitate draining. This has to work right?

Ok so how about if I allow one of the rads to drain? Would that work?

Sorry I should have pointed out that it is a fully pumped vented system. Just in case that is relevant.

Cheers sj, if/when I finally crack this bugger I'll snap it and post an image of the solution.

Hi all, quick question. I need to cut into a downstairs radiator pipe to modify it to clear a kitchen base unit, so what I wanted to know is can I shut off the lock shields and TRVs on the rads upstairs and just drain the water from the pipes to save draining the whole system? Cheers in advance.

[/url] Yes, that won't work for me as I have my sink in a 600mm wide base so too close to the side panel. I'll have to try to knock something up from odds and ends. Can't believe there is nothing out there, it's not like having both these appliances is a rare thing.

[/url] Right, so where do you branch off for the half bowl then?

Hi all, I need to set up a waste pipe under a 1.5 bowl sink to accommodate a washing machine on the left of the sink and a dishwasher on the right side but cannot for the life of me seem to find what I need for this. Surely it's a common enough requirement yet all I seem to be able to find is...

Really, what do you use then? Is it ever possible to take these joints apart without totally wrecking them, should the need arise?

By the way, do you always glue the biscuits when you join the worktops together? Also, is it mandatory to use Color Fill?
