ah, I got it! Thanks a bunch guys.

a pic to help my understanding. Can I cut of the connector on this hose and push the cut hose on the tap nozzle above? I can put a jubilee clip on it too. Have I understood this correctly?

An unusual request. I am testing a fix with my dishwasher and now need to provide it with cold water feed in my garage (where I have been servicing it). I have an outdoor tap in my garage and wondering if I can temporarily use this to provide this feed and for the appliance valve to connect...

I'd be grateful for any guidance with this please.

I have the above that was giving me an E4 error. I’ve put in on its side and opened up the bottom and can see that water is dripping from the drain pump. Is that because it’s on its side or is this a fault? This is my drain pump. When I turn the propeller it has a springy action, which some...

Can I tuck the rubber behind the soffit? As in prize the soffit slightly and push some membrane up there. That would mean that water couldn’t seep down the rubber into where the join is…

Do I have to buy one of those right angles hoses or would a straight one suffice for testing? Also, I’ve moved this into the garage next to my outdoor tap. Is there anyway of providing the water feed from here? I don’t want to plumb in an appliance valve just for testing.

I have this arrangement under my sink and my washing and machine and dishwasher are connected into those appliance valves. I was replacing my dishwasher today and tried isolating at the appliance valve but it was still letting a ready trickle of water through. I then had to isolate with the...

My Kenwood integrated dishwasher started reporting E4 recently. I have a maintenance plan and when the engineer came to have a look, he said there was a leak in the sump and that part wasn’t available. I got a tiny contribution towards a new unit and had to foot the bill for the rest of the...

Do you have any pictures on what this might look like please? I am struggling to comprehend it.

Inclined to agree. But flashing requires around 200mm (?) gap between the existing soffit and the top of my new rafters. I then have the height of my rafters. Am concerned about what height will be left in the actual room itself.

It's a house but this is against the ground floor which is sticking out. I could slide the new roof under the existing soffit and use 75mm raters. There will be a slight fall on this new roof but I was thinking that if water splashed near the start of this, it may travel up and under the...

I want to build a small (2mx2m) wooden shed like structure which will be attached to the house. I plan to use it as a utility and storage space. Where it joins the house, I have an existing soffit and gutter. I was thinking that I would go underneath this and not interfere with any of what is...

No. That is too far away. My ceiling grill is above the shower tray. I am inclined to follow @denso13 suggestion and til everything very slightly towards that. That seems to check-out but please shout if someone disagrees. Thanks for your help with this.

the manrose pipe coming out of the fan is around 1.5 metres long. This then goes into the vertical pipe which is around 1.5m.

I am tempted to slope the existing pipe towards the fan, as suggested by @denso13. This feels the easiest approach but please shout if I am missing anything.

sorry just one more @denso13. The manrose pipe fits over the fan casing (with some duct tape) and by sloping the pipe towards the fan is there a likelihood, that it will leak at this join?

Presumably this method will work with my current manrose pipes? I just need to slope it towards the fan, as you suggest i.e. no need to replace with soil pipe. Yes, the duct and fan casing is the same size but will the fan propellor allow water to pass back through it, down the flexible duct and...

I was thinking that I could put one of those folding water buckets under the inspection cap and clear out periodically. If I slope it slightly towards the fan, will the fan allow the water to pass back through the other end or will it just get overwhelmed? I am looking for a robust solution as I...

I was thinking something like this?
