Hi All, i am a little confused. Until now i beleived that pushfit pipe/connectors did not require a pipe insert. The inserts were only required in the plastic pipe if you used it with a conventional compression fitting. In posts elsewhere on this forum, i it seems to suggest that plastic...

hi, i think you can get flexible pipes (similiar to tap connectors) that you can use in a CH situation, but man that could look real ugly!!!

Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies. I am actually replacing a suite (i didn't make that clear!!) that used to be supplied by a conventional boiler/tank. A few years ago the boiler was replaced by a combi, which in retrospect has both good and bad points!! I will run new 15mm pipework to...

HiYall, Putting in new bath Suite. I have a Combi Boiler. I noticed that the existing pipework is mainly 22mm until it is reduced to 15mm for Basin and downstairs feeds. Is it likely the 22mm goes right back to the boiler (worcester 28cdi) or (more likely??) did the plumber that put...

LOL..... no, i mean it explains a lot in MY bathroom....... I should have fitted a bigger chrome one or gone with white...still it looks nice... Matt

At the risk of being shouted at...i will try asking this again, in the hope that someone new see's it. Has anyone ever come across Copper sink and Bath wastes connected to Cast Iron, via a purpose built "boss" on the cast iron pipe?? I am trying to figure out if this can safely be undone...

Hi, i did exactly this when my bathroom radiator started leaking. If you are reasonably happy with water pipes and a bit of "spanner" work, then (for me) it was easy. My towel rail was chrome, so i used chrome pipe and chrome compression fittings, i also took the time to fit "service"...

Hi, i added a heated towel rail in a pressurised system. i had to join some Grey plastic pipe to Speedfit (white) pipe and then to copper. The speedfit fittings were no problem connecting Grey to Speedfit pipe, and then Speedfit pipe to copper. (all 15mm pipe) You do need to cut the...

Hi, I have a 28Cdi. I assume they are all the same??? On mine, you need to look at the underneath of the boiler, remove trhe bottom grill. You should see a round hole, into this you need to insert a special tool that comes with the boiler. It is made out out white plastic and looks like...

Thanks Wonderb0y, Matt

Wow, fast response from the man with the blowlamp ...LOL. thanks for the reply. Matt

Larf!!!!!!!! on a serious note, anyone recommend a particular brand/type?? Just so i can go to the Plumbers Merchants and not sound like a numpty to the man in the brown coat..... Matt

Hi again, Are 15/22 mm pushfit connectors universal?? i.e, can any brand of pipe be used with any brand of connector. Can all pushfit connectors also accept copper pipe?? cheers Matt

Hi All, When seating the basin on the pedestal is there a preferred material for "bedding it in"? Years ago, i put a new one in and was told to seat it on something called Plumbers Matte. This was a putty like substance but i did not like the result as it always showed in the join...

Thanks LagerKhan, you just made me a happy man....now all i have to do is hope the blanking plug won't leak.........LOL

Hi All, (again!!!) Can you tell me if an Internal Overflow is part of the cistern itself (cast into the ceramic) or a function of a particular type of Siphon?? I have purchased a bathroom suite, the cistern is close coupled with all the holes i expected for a conventional siphon/overflow...

Thanks all. Up until now i have used an Electric shower that heats its own water. Will the combi really work ok with a bath mixer/shower or is it going to be problematic. Tnaks in advance. Matt

Thanks Gas4You, Much as i thought. As for the Hot Water, i don't have any complaints as such but it just isn't the same as when i had a hot water tank. (shouldn't have bought a combi then..........). For instance, when filling a bath, in the old days i just turned both taps on full blast...

Hi, I have a Worcester 28CDi.Everything works ok, no probs. Since changing to the combi boiler, i have got used to the differences between a conventional and combi system with regard to hot water. However, i really would like to get a better flow of hot water, especially in the bathroom...
