Hi All, I've put a new sink and taps in and plumbed it all in tonight. However, I put PTFE tape with a bit of joint compound over both the hot and cold feed joints, and when doing the hot one I think I may have overdone it with the PTFE tape.... I did it up by hand approx 4 turns and then...

Hi Eric, I haven't disconnected the battery and stripped the insulation yet, however the od with the insulation on is 4mm, therefore probably 2.5mm cable. However I can't find a crimp for 2.5 wiring rated at 20 amps? Therefore I was going to use a larger lug like you've posted above and crimp...

Many Many Thanks Eric, is it OK for example to crimp 3mm wires in a 10mm crimp? As the problem I have is trying to find a crimp with the power rating I. E 20amps in a 3mm crimp....

Don't worry guys my Mrs has solved it, it's a 'Valsir' Flush Valve!

HI All, further to my previous thread, I've now got the flush valve removed and taken to plumbers merchants and also phoned Siamp (a user previously said it's a Siamp) only to be told both by Plumbers Merchants and Siamp themselves (their Technical Department) this afternoon that it's not a...

Hi Guys, the noise started again and I've found the problem. Ive removed the flush valve and what happens is, it's very intermittent, maybe once out of every ten flushes and the bottom seal goes like that in the photo, let's a small amount of water through, and then the cistern starts filling...

Hi Harry, fantastic do you think this will be compatible with my system? This is similar to the one we had, although this is half moon whereas the one we previously had was half oval. They mention all of the plates being compatible with the Intraslim B, however I can't see as that's possible...

Hi Harry, ok so I let the tank fill up fully until it stopped, turned the braided hose off completely, and there's no water running into the toilet and also the water level isn't dropping in the cistern either. However, I'm not sure what this proves? As I haven't had the noise since the other...

I've tried turning that valve on the braided hose and it does shut off the water. Do just to clarify I need to do the following? Let the cistern fill up fully until the water stops and then turn off the valve on the braided hose and check there's no water running into the bowl?

Hi Guys, I'm not fussed about the brand, I just want to get the noise sorted and then order up a new plate for the wall. The brand I am stuck with until the time comes to have to replace the whole lot. Quick question, as the noise is intermittent (hasn't happened since yesterday morning) and...

Hi mate OK what part of that braided hose joint do I turn to turn off water? (picture below)

Hi mate if I just replace the whole valve will it solve both possibilities? Also what part of it is the valve I need to replace and how do I get it out and the new one in? And I just need to order a new 'Siamp 95L valve'?
