    How many turns of PFTE on radiator tails

    I have just fitted a radiator in my house (not the first time) and when it comes to installing the tails I never know how to make sure there is the right amount of PTFE; the tails I use are not conical and when screwed in all the way (without ptfe) they are still a bit loose It’s the kind that...

    Fitting integrated extractor hood to a unit with back panel

    Ok, I don’t mind having the extractor visible when I open the doors; to be honest, there will be so little space left inside the cabinet that will rarely be opened By the way the inside depth is 275mm and there is a central post

    Fitting integrated extractor hood to a unit with back panel

    Thanks for taking the time to write this; I’m sure I need to re read it multiple times, but why do I need to cut holes for the hinges at the back of the unit?

    Fitting integrated extractor hood to a unit with back panel

    If I need to replace it and it's been fitted too close to the wall (which has then a thick backsplash fitted underneath) it might be impossible to remove

    Fitting integrated extractor hood to a unit with back panel

    Also worried that when the wall is tiled (or covered with 20mm quartz) I won’t be able to remove the extractor for maintenance

    Fitting integrated extractor hood to a unit with back panel

    I haven’t plastered the wall so this will be visible when the doors are opened, so I need a solution for that, maybe not cutting the back panel entirely
