Quite normal. Will probably be coming off a 3/4" lead pipe. Before putting a boiler in get a good plumber to check flow rate of your cold main. A lot of fly by night fitters will install a combi without even checking the supply is suitable. If it is don't worry about the 15mm cold to the basin...

Perfect for the DIYer. If you are going to use plastic use a decent brand like HEP2O.

What was wrong with that Avocado suite? :wink: Nice work buddy.

Dont get pressure and flow rate mixed up. Its flow rate you want to bear in mind and filling by the filling loop will probably be the same and tidier. Does not take long to fill CH system up.

As my old Tutor used to say, flux was the boiler killer!

I'm pretty sure it would be contentious to use with gas as its weakening the pipe slightly when the socket is formed.

Glad you checked this runs into sewars and not rainwater/flood drains Most DIYers wont! Unfortunately as stated there are no fittings for what you require, how far is the nearest stack?

Check obvious like damp/wet ceilings. Check rads and obvious pipe routes. It could be anywhere!

How an earth did we cope without these little beuts! :P Debating on whether to trade in my PMF180 for a cordless variety....

I would class them more like adjustables rather than water pump pliers. Although they do look awesome!

My bosch DMF is as good as trash. I don't even bother carrying it in my tool kit any more.

I'd be more concerned with the bit snapping really being that long! And Silverline... Better you than me! :lol:

I've done it before when stuck on a job. It's possible with very accurate measuring, it was to run 15mm copper through a 9" wall but the size of the bit gave me a little to play with a few milli...

you are spending way too much for casual home DIY. There is only one brand for you.... wait for it... No Big Al so here goes... Ryobi. Get the 18v one+ system and you can have an impact driver and combi for about a ton if you shop around. For light masonry drilling you can get away with...

I suspect you do or fear of splitting. Countersink screws would be a no no...

The advantage of 8x4 is that it will be cheaper, its not that difficult to work with really. 12.5mm for ceilings nothing else will do. Anything smaller and it will sag on ceilings, I don't even use 9.5mm for Dot and dab... Screws will need to be longer, as the joist will be 6-8" wide I am a...

Plumbers are belt and braces type men, well I am so I wouldn't use plastic :wink: . You just wouldn't even consider using plastic pipe without inserts, just asking for trouble.

JCB should stick to making diggers! Hate it when well known brands try to venture into another market using their name to get places.

Those self countersunk ones look like R2 cutters or turbo golds, you cant be using those as self tappers! :lol:

What kind of shower is it? if its a mixer on a combi then use the old bath hot + Cold. If its electric use the Cold feed and cap the hot. What is the distance from the centre of the pan connector to the branch connection of your new 40/50mm shower waste? As far as I'm aware no regs for...
