Hi all Been helping my Aunty who has jus minded into a property and it needs a lot of work. All rads were isolated except fir living room. I opened the rest and tapped the TRV to get them to open. I’m stuck on one lock shield, when I try to open it the whole valve comes out and it’s still...

It’s now been cut lower with standard cowl on top. Looks better. No problems with any smells so far. If it dies happen then I’ll just put it back. Thanks all

That’s what i I said but neighbours all have it?? It is very unsightly and easily accessible for maintenance/freezing.

It’s protrudes out past waves at Approx 6” above head height. Right back back door/new steps patio etc. Just looks awful.

My parents bungalow and they don’t like the look of it protruding out past eaves!! Purely for cosmetic reasons.

Hi all Can anyone recommend an external 110mm air admittance valve. One that can be easily maintained. Push fit preferably as it can just be removed/replaced if any problems. Plus needs to be white. Cheers

Plus I’ve purchased oil as well. I presumed my compressor was oil less No idea where it goes. It’s only a small SGS 24l (prob China import and their stickers on it) one but I only use to air blowing air to clean Bitcoin miner cards. I have pumped my tyres up as well. Also I have just...

How much are they and how long? Do they have Euro ends? I’ve just purchased this to get me going.

Thank for a brilliant explanation! know it all makes sense. Brilliant!!

Great reply. Think I will stick with Euro Type then. Tbh I only use it a few times a year and yes the curled 3m hose is absolute pain! I have looked on EBay and all the hoses with mail/female ends seem to be PLE? I also noticed that you can just purchase the hose separately with no ends. I...

Hi all. I have read a few threads on here and still slightly confused on what route to take tbh. I have a SGS compressor with 1/4”BSP and Euro plug in ends. I also had the the tools all short Euro style. Plus the cheapy plastic siding hose also has a female Euro end for tools I already...

Got the a shower off. Seems straight forward and cartridge just pulls out after removing screws. Plus the 2.5mm grub screw in the black plastic base. Extended pipes 12mm and removed all old silicone and the awful PVC quadrant around the base. Is it worth getting service kit for it? The 3...

I’ve downloaded the manual and it looks like it it’s just 15mm protruding out and nut/olive? Is this correct?? Is so Ivan easily extend existing 15mm 10-15mm and use new olives. Can’t see how the ‘caps’ pop off and how the 2.5mm hex is used?? Manual-...

Hi all. I have a downstairs shower on back room ( main bathroom is upstairs) and it’s leaking from the vertical joints. This happened after I removed a disability seat/handrail. I did silicone over them and force it into the slight gaps but it has returned. I only require 4 panels each...

Why not just use the tool that comes with it? Fits it perfectly.

looked at the Selco baths today. Awefull build quality and very thin with the waste hike being very irregular. Went to a decent merchants who had much better ones at only £35 more. I was considering adding my own fibreglass tbh as it would be simple enough as I have enough resin/450g matting...

There’s a plastic tool to use with it as above. In the instructions it states is only for the overflow part but it fits both. It’s 15mm socket size, no chance any flat head would fit it. I suppose the small holes in the sides are there to insert a small driver to nip it up after hand tight...

Rubber seal correct way?

I was just watching ‘PlumberParts’ video guy on YouTube. He was covering everything in silicone. Same type waste with large compression overflow.

Hi all After recommendations on here I ditched the Flomasta overflow and went with a decent McAlpine one. Wow! The difference in quality is unreal!! I have a quick question though regarding on how to tight the screw needs to be holding the waste together. It comes with a plastic tool is...
