i'll get that measurement when I get home later this evening. do you want the true centre from wall to wall ignoring the shower tray? or true centre from shower tray edge to wall?

I’m planning to tile my bathroom next week and would like some advice on the best tile layout, mainly to avoid awkward-looking grout lines. The bathroom is quite small, and I’ll be using large 120 × 60 cm porcelain tiles. I’ve made a simple mock-up of the room layout which is attached below...

Just an update on this. I’m a few days away from having to put the XPS qBoards on the blocks. I emailed QBoard tech support about their advice and they advised to just dot and dab it with tile adhesive. So I’m thinking as long as I don’t leave big gaps between the dot and dab maybe since I have...

I need to put a piece of plasterboard onto a window lintel - the type that's metal. So I have the window lintel itself which has a flat surface but on each side of it there is gaps. I wanted to using the following Soudal Plasterboard Adhesive Foam...

So this particular bit where it it horizontally comes the vertically drops looks like pic attached (apologies for bad quality photo) the horizontal pipe has 3 plastic clamps holding it to the wall. One about 25/30cm just before it bends downwards. But the rest is all just there on its own. Could...

Thanks I just tried twisting it to make it slope down a bit and there is a slight play but I think the pan will probably dictate if it will stay in the angle will become straight again. If it becomes straight again and water backflows I’m assuming it will get between the pipe and rubber gasket...

I’ve attached a photo of my assembled Geberit steel wall-hung toilet frame. The 90-degree waste pipe is connected and has a good downward slope toward the vertical soil pipe. My question is about the front connection, the one that currently has the yellow cap fitted to stop smells. This is...

That’s even more confusing. It’s a Geberit Infrared touchless flush sensor back box system that I need to install and it comes with 4 screws. Two short ones and two long ones and the instructions are illustrations only and I’ve attached the two reference it makes to the screws. I’m assuming I...

I have the following two screws pictured below and the instructions say to put the PZ1 screws in one section and the PH 2 screw in another. I can’t tell which screw is what. I tried putting a pz1 bit on both screws and the pz1 head sits firmly on both so I’m even more confused. Can anyone help...

Looking for some recommendations for silicone for sanitary use that wont get mouldy and sticks well almost like how CT1 sticks to stuff. Mainly for finishing off shower tray to tile joints and corners and shower screens. Some cheap silicone i've made mistake of using in the past just don't seem...

I dry fitted one of the fixtures to the wall plate and at the point where it starts to get very tight, the orientation is completely wrong. it's like facing around 10 o clock position but I still would need it go to the 6 o clock position. How would I do this? put extra loctite 55 and just end...

The length of the horizontal run is actually more like 30cm maybe even less. And the vertical drop is not that much either. Wonder are there any good quality flexible 40mm options that could potentially solvent weld on one side and fit into the compression waste fitting? If so how reliable are...

Quick update on this, it seems it mainly weeps if it's not open enough. I opened it fully and the closed it about 1 full turn and so far it seems to be staying dry. Will keep an eye on it. And when i go to shut it off, as I am shutting it off it starts weeping as it gets closer to the shut position.

Unfortunately i cannot replace that stretch as that part is already beneath floor boards. in hindsight i should i have kept it longer. I'm thinking to dry fit and see how much i can make it move around specially up and down. If i can move the horizontol one up and down then maybe I can just...

I’ve installed my shower tray and run a 40mm waste pipe from the soil pipe, as shown in my drawing attached below. At the moment, the 40mm pipe is only run up to the point where I plan to add a coupler — it’s currently cut and capped just to stop smells. I’ve made an access hatch from below so...

Just did that. Blowing through the filter mesh thing you can feel a valve opens as you blow and blowing from the other side nothing comes out. So it is a strainer filter plus non return valve in one component. This one seems a lot better constructed though specially the way the inlets stay...

So I bought a pegler brand one now. It doesn’t have isolators so I’m going to need to add isolators inline to it. But I’m trying to figure out if it has inbuilt non return valve or if I should get an extra non return valve. Basically it is this two sided thing pictured below one on each inlet...

Doesn’t putting it on dry without the thread cord mean it will essentially turn more on dry fitting compared to when fitting with the loctite 55? Or should it be able to reach the same number of turns that dry fitting reached even with the loctite 55?

On another note, if i've got a fitting that needs to end in an exact orientation. and if i'm tightening it and it feels like its getting tight and may not make it to the next full turn to align properly, what's the best solution for this? apparently loctite 55 is good for those cases where u...

lol. I’ve got this haha. For piece of mind I’ll smear some LSX over the loctite 55 cord too
