On a separate note, there’s a distinct lack of pipe / tank insulation up there.

1st step is to get it off the VHS Tape and onto a HDD, once there you can edit it etc. Getting it onto a DVD first maybe a good first move before the tape further degrades or gets damaged.

I bought a used Panasonic VHS to DVD recorder off eBay, transferred all my old VHS family recordings onto DVD then sold it again on eBay for a small profit

Hardly think that’s likely with it being a condensate pipe, although it would be good practice to fit a clip or two.

Providing the flexible hose is long enough you can do away with the coupling, also you can get the flexible tap connectors with a built in isolation valve. Makes things easier if you need to isolate the tap for any reason.

As per Stivino above, a pushfit coupling and a pushfit flexible tap connector with a small piece of copper in between.

Be careful mixing different brands of plastic, they will all offer a warranty on their system or onto copper, but if you use one brand of fitting with another brand of plastic pipe you may find it difficult if you have a leak. One may blame the other. I know a number of plumbers who mix systems...

The “original” Hep2o is the same, both a low pressure test and a further test up to 18 bar. This is because both Polyplumb and the “original” Hep2o fittings are “O” ring first, this basically means that when the pipe is inserted into the fitting it passes through the “O” ring first then the...

My daughter has a Glowworm Ultimate 50FF boiler, open vented system, Y plan with open vented cylinder that has worked fine up until this week. The boiler fires up and radiators begin to warm, but the boiler keeps making a clicking noise and the burner cuts out the fires up again then cuts out...

Yes, just make sure :- The pipe is round and clean Preferably cut with pipe cutters, if you use a hacksaw make sure you remove any sharp burrs that could “nick” the O ring Insert pipe fully into fitting

If the house was plumbed with pushfit when built it should have been pressure tested at first fix. Depending on the make of pushfit there are different test requirements, if ‘O’ ring first (polyplumb, old style Hep20) there should have been a low pressure and high pressure test up to 18 bar...

I have just changed my Hikvision 3mp IR cameras for Hikvision ColorVu 5mp version, these give excellent daytime recording and Colour at night which is also very good quality and far superior to the standard B/W infrared. A mixture of 2.8 and 3.6mm lenses cover my property fine.

and that the plastic pipe hasn’t been scored where the “O” ring sits

Thanks, I’ll see if she can sort it from that

Hi all, my daughter has just recently moved into a new (To her) property that has an old Neff dishwasher installed, the previous owner has left no instructions. The front panel is very worn and you can’t make out the numbers / symbols around the knob, I’ve searched for a manual but with no joy...

Whatever the quoted output it will be a lot less when you have numerous towels and garments hung on it. That’s why when my daughter said she wanted one I left the existing radiator (with TRV) fitted connected to the heating circuit and plumbed her new towel warmer into the Hot Water Primary F &...
