Hi guys, Im looking to tidy up a bit of boxing Ive had in the bathroom with tiles. As I understand it you shouldn't use PVA prior to tiling and after some googeling it seems sbr is the adhesive to use. Not to be a tight @ss but could anyone recommend a solution from Screwfix or Toolstation...

After doing some research I think its an imperial converter https://www.plumbnation.co.uk/site/speedfit-blue-imperial-coverters/

Yeah I thought that after I took it sorry. Will get a pic

Thanks again guys - was up at 7 this morning to get to plumbase where they stock the imperial to metric connector jobbies. My next problem is the from the stopcock there is an elbow coming out with what I can only describe as a white funnel looking thing which goes into the black (is it...

Cheers guys what about liners?

Hi, 1/2" is 12.7mm but the pipe is 22mm - how can that be?

Hi, I'm trying to connect 25mm blue mdpe to my mains water. The mains water pipe near the external stopcock is blue then connects into a black pipe which then comes into the house. I thought the pipe was 25mm so I bought a 25mm equal tee and cut the black pipe, turns out its something like 22mm...

Hi, I've bought this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162154939835?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT But am unsure about what connection I require to connect my 15mm speed fit pipe - do I need a 15mm coupler? Or something else? Thanks

Yep - 25mm liner. Ive just ordered an MDPE stopcock and I'll take this one back.

Hi, I bought one of these but Im not convinced its right? I put the back on then the olive and some ptfe and tighten the stopcock up - I can pull it off with a little force so its not going to withstand the pressure of water. Is there a chance this doesn't house MDPE as everything else is right...

Hi, Yep all sorted on that front thank you. Just another quickie - is it ok to mount a 110mm swept tee upside down? Why would I do this you ask - please see pic. The plan is to come off for the air vent pipe and also the toilet soil pipe.

Thanks for the info guys, another quick Q.... This stopcock http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plumbing/d20/Valves/sd2696/Poly+Stopcock/p39751 am I correct in thinking I can use both 25mm and 15mm mdpe? Its just some seem to say they connect copper to MDPE rather than mdpe to mdpe? Thanks as always

Don't give up your day job foul :P

Hi, Thanks I'll look into a vacuum breaker as for where's it going - its going into the fowl currently connected to the house and yes Im aware of building regs we've already had the inspector out once just to do a site visit.

Hi, Am I right in thinking BT were supposed to be phasing these old "phone junction" boxes out? Looking to get fttc install in but apparently the line needs replacing (which I knew as its the old line). I thought BT were responsible for replacing these boxes\lines as it comes over the poles onto...

Something similar to this

Ha sorry the pipe which comes out of the drain which takes the smell away from the drainage, usually they run up outside past the roof. I guess its because of the gases which are emitted.

Hi, As per many of my posts we're putting a garden cabin\salon in with a toilet. Ideally we don't want a stink pipe running up the outside so I was wondering if anyone can offer some advice on how we can get around this? Ive been to some camp sites which seem to have a contraption which deals...

Hi, It is proper insulated with 50mm celotex and then insulation on top of that we then have ply and plasterboard. I did the calculations based on the size which came back 1.8kW so 1.5 to start with should be fine.

Guys, excuse my stupidity but.... You can get panel 2kW heaters for £200 and you can get convection 2kW heaters for £20 - how do they differ as obviously they are both 2kW? Thanks
