If you we're walking down the street and pressed the button on the pedestrian crossing and it broke, would you phone up the council and volounteer to pay for it?

What do the manufacturers instructions say?

The job is in Mayfair, central London. I know what your saying about mechanical fittings rogue trader but unfortunately I learnt my plumbing skills after they stopped teaching soldering onto lead. Also, I don't know if my insurance will cover me if I make a joint using an outdated method.

Hi Nige, no that won't work I'm afraid, for a multitude of reasons I won't bore you with. Thanks for your suggestions anyway.

Andy, yes I have just seen your message thanks but to be honest I think it's a bit of a risky strategy as the copper coming off my lead pipe would need to be about 35 mm by the looks of it. Nige, as I said before, I cont connect onto where the ball valve is now connected as the new tank has a...

Thank You Dan. You've been most helpful.

I AM on the Internet trying to find the answer. But instead of just typing it into Google I thought I'd ask on here if anyone has any suggestions as I would also get some objective advice (something that Google doesn't offer).

Yes I do have insurance. I'm not asking how to do the whole job, just advice on one fitting. I don't think that's too big a question to post on here.

Good suggestion Andy, but as I say, I can't cut a section of the pipe without totally removing the old tank to get to it. And once I remove the tank it will never all go back in as it is a huge rusty galvanized steel thing. Also, my main concern is that there is no lead loc this size, then I...

I don't own the flats, they are owned by a large property company but the other flats are leased to the tenants so the freeholder can't make them have any work done if they don't want to. I won't be able to make any connections where the old ball valve is as the new pipework needs to be rerouted...

I would love to but this is not an option I'm afraid as it runs up through all the flats below ours with god knows how many tees off for drinking water etc. I would have to pull apart 3 finished flats if I were to do if like that.

Good day all, I have a large cold water storage tank I need to replace on top of a block of four flats feeding cylinders and down service to all flats. Currently the mains feed to the ball valve comes up out of the floor in lead pipe and this is where I will need to connect onto it and run...

Drain center for 82mm plastic

What about wet vaccing it out. That's what I would try first before using compression or push fit.

500mm x 500mm is quarter of a square meter. Half a square meter is going to need some serious amount of stored pumped water. But as the other guys say. You will need a lot more specific information on the fittings you intend to use.

No, it doesn't.

*drain down

You will have to drain dorm and change the entire vent, if you can get them out that is.

Thanks swbjackson. I'm not too convinced either, I think I will stick to break tanks or accumulators.

Has anybody used one of these yet? http://www.plumbcenter.co.uk/en/bathrooms/showering/shower-pumps/salamander-home-boost-mains-pressure-booster-pump-287078 I thought pumping mains was illegal?
