Hi mrrusty, thanks for the suggestion. My original thought was to make the window reveal square by removing some of the surface plaster, but on inspection I realised I would need to remove nearly 10mm, which was just too much. I then considered cutting a channel in the plaster that would allow...

Thanks for the responses. That's exactly what I meant by "cut through the thickness of the shelf at an angle, so the underside of the shelf was narrower than the top side" I had thought about leaving about 1cm square on the front edge, and as you say, remove some of the plaster to allow this...

As part of my toilet refurbishment, I plan to fit a 32mm thick oak shelf. Against an outside wall, with a window reveal, I have already installed a Geberit toilet frame and boxed it in. The top of the boxed frame is level with the window ledge, so I plan to cut a piece of oak wood to fit into...

A plasterer came this morning and skimmed the new stud wall. My earlier questions were answered by him as follows: - An angle bead was fitted to the top of the new stud wall to give a nice sharp edge. - Fibreglass jointing tape was used where the two pieces of hardiebacker board were joined...

Removing the toilet wouldn't be too big a job. Once any silicon sealant has been removed it can be simply unscrewed and pulled away from the wall, giving the same access as I currently have. Admittedly, if the flush pipe starts leaking from the point at which it connects into the cistern then...

The top will be fitted with a wooden shelf and I will fit this in a way that will allow it to be removed for access from above. I'm not sure about the benefit of accessing the flush pipe, unless you think it will require some maintenance in the future. Given these frames/cisterns are designed...

I'm refurbishing a downstairs toilet and have just installed a Geberit WC frame to support a wall hanging toilet. I’ve built a stud frame around it and glued/screwed 12mm Hardiebacker board to the frame. As it is our intention to paint (and not tile) the wall, I would like it to be plastered...

I've now managed to get hold of a VR 921 and installed it. Also installed the sensoAPP on my Android mobile. I wasn't expecting the app to be that good, but it is unfortunately a pile of junk and is certainly not worth the £180 cost of the VR 921 internet gateway! I seriously considered...

Update Last week, I successfully replaced my VRC 700 & 2 x VR 91's with a VRC 720 and 2 x VR 92's. Apart from having to drill yet more holes in the wall (3rd set as I'm on my 3rd Vaillant controllers over 12 years), it all went smoothly. I wasn't particularly happy about having to drill more...

I contacted Geberit technical support to ask what it was and why the instructions give no indication of what it is used for and simply imply it should be removed! The response I got was: "The 'forked tube' you refer to from page 8 of the installat5ion instructions refers to the conduit to be...

So, I removed the "packer", but I'm pretty sure it isn't a packer. My suspicion is it is used for routing cables as the plastic tube isn't water tight and I can't think of any other purpose. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have done any harm to leave it in place so why the instructions indicate it...

It's a packer? I would have never guessed that. Can't see why it is necessary. I fit a different Geberit model a couple of years ago, which looks very similar, but didn't include that part. Seems like a bit of a waste of plastic!

I'm in the process of installing a Geberit Duofix wall hung WC frame 980mm with Sigma concealed cistern 12cm (111.911.00.5) and I notice it has an additional plastic feed from the cistern as well as the main flush feed. Here's a photo from the front and you can see the plastic pipes to the...

Ah, yes. Unfortunately I don't think I have room for that on the vertical as I also need to include a coupler. Also, as it is pushfit, I would need to use a pushfit bend and I think by using a solvent weld bend I get about 10mm extra height due to the lack of a "lip". I've found an osma solvent...
