Yes I have capped it and put a temporary pushfit valve to flush the pipes and there’s no leaks to the plate itself but even after temporarily capping it when it comes to the final install, i have to unthread the temp fitting and then thread the finishing item. And it’s the finishing item that is...

I’ve installed two 1/2” female wall plates for shower outlets, which will be covered with XPS tile backer boards and then tiled. Once tiled, the wall plates will sit a few millimetres behind the finished tile. The shower outlet fitting (1/2” male thread with a decorative cover) screws into these...

Emailed the company to initiate a return. I’m just looking at alternatives and visually they all look similar. They all seem to use a gasket fitting. Biggest issue with this on is that the nut just wobbles around and there is nothing to keep the nut constantly centred

Thank you so much. Great tip about cutting the coupler and adding the extra belts and braces. Genius idea. Will be doing this for peace of mind

Thank you. The challenge of taking it out and redoing is the 32mm has been solvent welded to the Tee on the soil pipe it would mean having to cut the small vertical pipe from the soil Tee and coupling it. Then either replacing entire stretch it horizontal 32mm again or cutting and coupling that...

Was doing ok for a few hours then just a little movement on the pipe while working then started leaking again. Tightened it a bit further as it’s not tight tight then stopped again. But same thing happening on cold side but every so often starts weeping again. Not really confident with this...

Thank you. I used a combination of heating a long spare piece of pipe and slightly bending it and the 92.5 degree bend to just make it work. Only thing is the horizontal 32mm pipe that comes and inserts into the 92.5 bend if it’s supposed to insert let’s say 25mm approx into try bend I only...

So I’ve managed to make it work without leaking so far. Keeping an eye on it for the next 24hrs see how it goes. But definitely think it’s very poorly designed. I had to completely removing it and have someone hold the two fittings 100% straight while hand tightening the nut. Making sure the...

Also, please see the the pics below. I think there is something fundamentally wrong here. That bit that goes to thread into the body is supposed to surely sit perfectly centred to that body metal ring. I hope that makes sense. But if you look carefully you will see that it doesn’t. Unless the...

I’ve attached a few pics. The two faces are flat and they provide this really thick black rubber that’s the exact size of the flat surface. But problem is the the main nut that comes and tightens to the body doesn’t not have anything that keeps it perfect centred so I think it just doesn’t sit...

I purchased the following tmv thinking it’s a good brand as there were cheaper ones but thought would go for slightly more expensive: https://www.bes.co.uk/inta-intamix-thermostatic-mixing-valve-15mm-with-isolating-valves-26803/ The two inkers have a compression fitting to the isolation but...

Thanks. Might give this a try tomorrow. Do you think it will manage to offset the difference in angle between the horizontal 32mm pipe and the soil pipe?

Thank you. Didn’t think of that thanks.

Need some advice please. hit a little problem while connecting up a 32mm waste to a solvent Tee on the soil pipe. I've drawn the current layout below. Because the soil pipe a slope unfortunately the 32mm Tee that comes out of the soil pipe to join to the 32mm waste coming from the left is...

Is it something like this that I need; https://www.bes.co.uk/polypipe-32-mm-black-expansion-coupling-solvent-11850/

Hey guys, I’ve got a little dilemma hoping someone can help. So I have a designer black bottle trap which comes with a metal sort of 32mm pipe for the drain. Silly me I just assumed my 32mm solvent pipe will fit straight in. But realised the pipe it comes with must be for pushfit or compression...

I’m remodelling my bathroom, which involves a fair bit of new copper pipework and a layout change. To do this, I brought the hot and cold supplies to a central point and temporarily capped them with JG Speedfit end stops. Over the past 1–2 weeks I’ve been slowly soldering all the new pipe runs...

My home was a newbuild around 15ish years now and under the kitchen sink is one of those brass stopcocks labelled main water stopcock. It’s been fine all these years but recently I had to turned the water supply off and on a few times to do some bathroom work. Since then I’ve noticed that the...

My previous extractor fan that I’m replacing was wired with Live as the supply from an outside extractor isolator switch and the switched live was from the switched light Live. So if I turned on the isolator the fan would be running on low speed unless I turned on the light switch which powered...

Yes the window is double glazed.
