Thanks for this. I do have a compressor actually so that could be an option. So are you saying that if it survives pressurising to 3 bar without leaks you'd then bury it? I just need to work out how to connect the compressor to the end of the pipe.

I definitely would not. Philmac fittings are just the job but you can cap one end then fill with water & test. Rothenberger do a pressure pump with a guage just for this job, sure you must be able to hire one? You fill the tray with water & hand pump it through the pipe until your pressure...

Rothenberger freeze Pak ,will give you around 20 mins work time. Yes ,will freeze if tap drips. I suggest you buy a stopcock . Freeze pipe ,cut pipe with pipe slice ,fit stopcock. You can then work above the stopcock at your leisure to fit garden tap.

Hi, I use the rothenberger superfire 2 with hose and mapp gas as that’s the gas the hose came with. Now it’s almost run out I have bought propane. If I am half way through soldering and the mapp runs out, can I switch straight to the propane as long as I empty the hose first? Just want to check...

...obvious candidates for a heavy duty pipe slice would have to be the firms which make industrial plumbing tools, namely Rems, Rigid and Rothenberger (who between them make powered pipe threaders, crimpers, etc). To that you can add Irwin-Record who still make the old Record roller pipe...

...could pull it off and steal it The water co might sell you a replacement. I currently have one of these https://www.screwfix.com/p/rothenberger-stopcock-key-920mm/71652 The steel head has two square sockets of different sizes, and a "crutch" to fit a T-handle. The large T on the top...

The pipe is blocked. You can buy a rothenberger drain cleaning snake for around £15 ,and try clearing the pipe work. What length is the pipe from trap to stack ?

...soldering. 2. If you find it tricky, you could try using MAPP gas, which gives a hotter flame. However, if using, be careful not to burn the flus out of the joints. 3. No idea what torch you are using, but if something like a Rothenberger Surefire 2, the standard burner nozzle will be...

Hacksaws are good, but I’d recommend using a file, to get rid of burr, no point being rough. The link to Rothenberger - I have a similar set for hep, and wouldn’t attempt 32mm with it. Ratchet pipe cutters are good as well, as are plastic pipe slices.

I forgot to mention.. this is the type of gauge I was meaning - maybe connect it with a washing machine valve (without check valve) https://www.screwfix.com/p/rothenberger-water-pressure-test-gauge-10bar/53626

...the vast majority of plumbers don't seem to worry about it. Those who are either very conscientious, or being observed by the Gas Safe inspectors, use a temporary jump lead to maintain continuity while working...

This was the answer, although the two monoblock spanners I have will only interlink in one combination; luckily that was the correct combination for my situation!

...in street as a backup in case I bugger it up. No idea what size the one under the flap in pavement outside house is. Does anyone recommend either of these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/monument-tools-stopcock-key-222mm/17971 https://www.screwfix.com/p/rothenberger-universal-stopcock-key-36/71652

Ah well, take the canister off then. You can’t do it with those camping gas type cylinders.

I have the Rothenberger Rofire Burner Adjustable Gas Torch

I take my Rothenberg torch off the canister at home, but it doesn't get a lot of use. The same torch at work gets left on as we use it quite frequently (good old steel fasteners into aluminium casings, a daily fight!).
