flexis take up any vibration. you could pe prone to leaks if your plastic pipe flexes in it's seal.

no probs with that- assuming you mean to the compression fit end of the trap.

check the "nut" part- you should see it's tapered. the insert corresponds and as you tighten up it grips the pipe.

don't bother with a check valve- although this would work. change the mixer and make sure it's suitable for gravity systems.

looks like the loo has to come off. if it's ok to do so, try drain rods.possibly another pipe has been coupled to the stack and is protruding inside causing an obstruction.

don't worry, lockshield ends are like taps- off and no drips will be fine until you want them on again.

straight swap,just have to drain the pipes first.

try toolstation, don't know why your builder suggested 1.8 bar-1.5 is enough. use twin impeller pump with cold coming from the hot water header tank. should give you plenty.

put up some insulated plasterboard, then tile over.

if it doesn't screw off, push one of the buttons down. on the side of the other button you may find a "notch" to flick it out, then remove other button. should see a screw in the bottom.

try getting one of the bath mixer showerhead attachments- looks like a big stethoscope- and attach it to both basin taps. tie off the shower head...last saw them in the cheapo shops. may give you the backflow you need.

I use a basin mate, from toolstation. nice bit of kit.

no tank, pressure builds up within a minute, and thought the pressure gauge was just for the central heating?

changed taps on an old customer's bath, and noticed she has an initial "surge" of hot water which then dies down to normal. this happens at each hot tap if the water is left to build up pressure. what is causing this? she has a combi boiler that is due to be serviced soon and I would like to...

the feed/expansion tank for my immersion cylinder keeps overflowing. I have isolated the cold water supply but have noticed the 22mm pipe feeding the cylinder is warm at the base of the tank. Also noticed "swirling" patterns coming from said pipe back into the tank. As the heating system is a...

tried on hot water only, had the same result. reset it several times but no success- then this morning it's back to normal...but for how long?

yes there's a vent on top of the boiler, and it was pushing out steam and redlining on temp gauge. but would you believe it...the damn thing started to work again this morning- watch this space...
