Hi all, I will soon be tiling a new ensuite where two walls have brand new plasterboard (shower area is tanked), and two walls are brick based with the usual plaster finish. My wife has her eye on tiles which are 100cm * 33cm (9.2mm thick). Pretty big! I am planning to tile straight onto...

I'm talking about the threaded pipe that pokes out the bottom of the toilets tank. You then screw your cold water feed onto this threaded pipe. Cheers

Hi, Hopefully a simple one. What is the name of the fitting that connects the cold water feed to the toilet inlet? i.e. the one that you fit on the end of your cold feed and then screw to the toilet inlet? Is it just a tap connector - if so what size? Thanks Jon

Thanks for the advice. I'm aware its Building Regs and have paid for them. I've already laid the waste pipes, including a new soil stack and inspection chamber. The room is currently plastered in the traditional "lat and plaster" method. The only exception to this is where the original door...

Both the hot water and cold water tanks are in the loft. The hot water tank is at floor level, with the cold water tank positioned 1.5 - 2m above floor level. I'm planning to put the pump next to the hot water tank at floor level. I believe this is fine for the positive head pump. Do you use...

Hi all, I'm fitting a new ensuite in what was previously a box room. As part of this work a door has been blocked up. The doorframe has been studded. I have read elsewhere that I can just apply plywood onto this studding, and that will happily accept tiling? I was planning to put...

Thanks for the reply. Yes it will just be shower, sink and WC. The pump is so meaty as we're having a very beefy shower head as well as seperate shower riser, which can both be used at the same time. I was planning on getting one with a lower bar rating but the manufacturer of the shower...

Hi all, I’m fitting a new ensuite, in a room that previously had no plumbing. I’ll be plumbing the hot and cold into this room from the loft above. I’ll also be running separate feeds for the shower. I need to fit a shower pump to increase the pressure. I have chosen the Stuart Monsoon...

Thanks for that. I'm happy to do that, just thought it might be frowned upon to have a pipe join in the wall and cement it up?

Hi all, I'm putting in a new Soil stack for my new ensuite. My soil waste is dropping from the garage on a horizontal run in the ceiling (with the correct drop of course) and then straight through the wall into the stack. I would like to connect is straight into the stack avoiding the...

Thanks for the link. The building control guy did mention making it fire proof so I should definately talk to him further, and make sure he's happy with the materials I'm using.

Thanks for that...it's like that drawing was made for my job. The dimensions are very similar. Would you recommend a multiquick flexible extension. The poster higher up didn't seem keen. Cheers Jon

Yes well aware its Building Regs. Paid them already and had Mr inspector around before I did so. They're in agreement with where I plan to put the new toilet and the path I plan to run the waste pipe. The whole reason I'm dropping it into the garage (rather than carrying on under the floor)...

Hi all, I'm putting in a new en-suite. This is going into a box room at the front of the house, but in the middle. I need to put in a new soil stack as the existing soil stack can't be reached. The en-suite room is almost above the garage. My plan is to run the soil pipe suspended in...

Thanks both for your replies, much appreciated. That guide is superb - exactly the sort of thing I was after. If anyone is aware of anything similar for connecting a new pump for the shower, or hooking waste pipework from sink/shower into the soil stack then please let me know. Cheers Jon
