That would be a Rockfish then :?: There is one house in Dolgellau where an RG started to core drill the wall,got about 1" in and gave up.The owner has now framed it. You southern softies should come up this way and work up a sweat :lol:

As i remember it (being a cider drinker :wink: )black alkathene was imperial but then to confuse matters they bought out a blue metric mdpe pipe that was also available in black :roll: I could be wrong.

You are right about the class C/D etc and needing different inserts. The pipe wall thicknesses were different.

ps: Everton were mugs to let that right winger go ?

It's a done deal (again) get your money on fergie :wink:

A lot of it is because of the crap copper used nowadays. You could almost bend the softer copper of years ago without a spring/bender.

I'm with blagard on this. It's thermal expansion & movement that causes a problem and not cement/concrete except for when cinders were used in the mix in days gone. I would however always wrap any copper in denso before bedding pipes in screed etc.

Feet up,pipe & slippers :?:

Google Plasson or Philmac fittings and you will probably find what you want.

Can anyone lend me some money :cry: :cry: :cry:

I hear he takes more than notes :wink:

What i meant was that you can use this fitting as the backnut and then have a decent amount of thread for the tap connector.

You are using this fitting as a COMBINED backnut and tap connector thus giving you a bit more thread :roll: :roll:

But the shop boy forgot the one thing that someone on the tools would know and do ?.The valve body must be tapped onto the extension as they never go all the way on by just pushing and you will end up with another leak.Leave the nut & olive loosely screwed onto the valve & tap the whole lot...

It's basically the same as what i showed you except screwfix don't sell it.You would be best to drop some fibre washers into the fitting so as when it screws up tight you have no gap and the end of the tap is tight against a washer if not ptf around the tap thread.

I Do :oops:

All them years behind the trade counter have paid off :wink:

Yep! I've started with a few slates :lol:
