    My current trap has a 1.75"bsp thread and it accepts the 43mm pipe. Will the new trap with a 1.5"bsp thread accept the 43mm pipe?

    Many Thanks for your reply. The one in toolstation looks ideal and affordable. Are all the dimensions the same in order to swap this? Will the 43mm black pipe fit too? I added this to my basket for collection. There is a toolstation a few miles away. ;)

    Electric Radiators - Should I Avoid This Rental?

    Thanks again for the advice and reply. It is only the 1 heater that is a storage heater so maybe its not worth going for the off peak tariff. I posted the details from the epc 2 posts up and there seems to be cavity walls insulation and 200mm of loft insulation. I notice my energy costs go...

    Electric Radiators - Should I Avoid This Rental?

    Hi Ivor Thanks for your very helpful and informative reply. As you said it has cavity walls so it should be a big improvement. I have not seen the full epc so i can't say how well the walls and loft are insulated. Is it worth relocating the existing heaters or are the oil filled radiators a...
