    How do I form a seal between these please

    If you use your bend you could drill a hole into the cap and then run a fitting into it, then run a pipe from that externally. Helped create sumps like that on extended extractor runs before using 110mm SP, seen it used many times. They were connected to 110mm soil pipe to run the length of...

    How do I form a seal between these please

    If you are using soil pipe then when it goes to the vertical you could fit a branch and use an screwed access cap on the bottom leg in a piece of pipe, that will create a collection point that can be emptied, or have a pipe screwed in to drain it externally, just have the pipework run dropping...

    How do I form a seal between these please

    If the run is overly long and situated in a cold space then there is always going to be an issue with condensate. Even if insulated, if the run is overly long, then the air will always reach dew point before it gets outside and condense. The only real solution is to shorten the run, create a...

    Replacing tiled shower floor with shower tray

    Looking good and if the joints are all taped, tanked and then silicone'd then you've done the best you can to waterproof it all. Good to see the connect 2 also allowed you to get the trap/waste in a workable position.

    Single Rad half is warm only

    Those tubular designer radiators are usually crap, not worth the money unless they are really only there to heat a small room. So in this case a bathroom is probably the best place for it, though I would say it's a bit on the large side. With these designers rads the flow into the rad is usually...

    Water valves under boiler - Baxi 800 - identify...

    2 outside valves are the flow and return so the valves isolate the system's flow and return from the boiler. The valve 2nd from the right isolates the cold supply into the boiler or into the filling loop, usually position dependent.

    Drilling tiles for outside tap

    >16mm dry diamond core drill and a wooden jig to start it for the tile, then standard SDS for the wall, shouldn't crack the tile.

    Speedfit and WRAS confusion

    If it's been made to comply with BS EN 7291 parts 1, 2, 3 and S then that standard's been approved by WRAS, that and it's a BS EN standard so I would be happy with that all day long. Again though, not sure what the issues is? Given what it's used for then I wouldn't have an issue using any...

    Speedfit and WRAS confusion

    As suggested though, in the data form from JG - it states it's suitable for hot and cold water as well as CH, therefore I would presume from that it should then comply, though in other blurb is does say it's just for CH. You could be correct where the types of EDPM rubber used isn't WRAS...

    Speedfit and WRAS confusion

    Look at JG's data sheet for the fitting rather than the web page - web pages can be wrong, data sheet normally aren't - It is classed as being suitable for Hot/Cold and CH systems Guess the question is why worry. A drain off, by it's very purpose, won't be carrying water that is then to be used...

    Why does my kitchen waste always block?

    Probably due to the waste pipe being clogged up and it doesn't take much for it to block. Fill the sink with boiling water and soap and let it go, do that a few times. Alternatively get the pipework apart and inspect/clean out.

    Poor hot water system.

    Lovely part of the world, fab beach and a great links course.

    Change from System and tank to Combi

    Only reason that has happened is if it wasn't installed properly to start with or it hasn't been properly maintained by a resource that actually knows how to look after it correctly. These types of system have been in place, trouble free, for decades so there's no reason yours shouldn't be fault...

    Poor hot water system.

    1st thing first, they need to find out what the mains dynamic pressure and flow is from the mains at peak hours, as it enters the property. Without knowing that then any advice would just be a guess. If pressure and flow are poor then yes either correctly designed stored hot and cold suitably...

    Shower sealant leaking after 3 months - will it just happen again?

    The gap shouldn't make much difference, apart from the fact that whoever fitted it couldn't do the job properly. As long as the the frame is actually sitting on the tray edge and sealed then it should be ok. The riser kit will probably mean that the tray can move and flex though when in use...

    Acces boss

    BTW if it's a sink waste (kitchen) then it'll be a 40mm waste pipe, not 32mmm - 32mm is typically for bathrooms and basins.
