Noggins made of roof batten across joists will sort that and the pipe will be supported if you want to add clips to that the easy done. As Agile says they need supporting however if there are very long lengths they can twist so if you are concerned phone tech of the manu and you will have...

Always use the insert recommended by the pipe manufacturer you are using some use plastic inserts and some metal as you will see in the Screw-fix cat. The insert you have found is for oil pipe line green pipework and may indeed be of a different internal bore recommended do not use.

Do they need supporting is the question and the answer is yes, how you do it is up to you. Sagging and unsupported pipes tend to move with expansion and contraction and if near a joint will put undue strain on the fitting. Always follow instructions as the life time span of the guarantee of...

Thanks for the follow up Treena after a result.:)

And the boiler?

Agree. So its confirmed on the maintenance sheet whether its has been done or not. Simple.

:) In days of yore said uncle Albert, there were P traps, S traps, Right hand traps, left hand traps, cottage pans,P,S and Q.:) Now its one fits all pans and flexi pipe.

Stock item with us and fits many other boilers. You should get another gas bod if you want the truth regarding spares for your albeit old and inefficient boiler.

How do we know its a soldered joint? That would mean draining down. 1) He repaired the leak as its after 12months period he should charge. 2) He shouldn't have serviced the boiler without your permission, I certainly wouldn't I would come back another day and charge accordingly. 3) Do you go...

When finding a good service engineer for dental equipment this also can be just as tricky and costly. A bit like dentures then..... plastic ones are cheaper and metal ones more expensive. Take a piccy of the actual leak and we will see.

:notworthy:

Hi Madrab. We all try for 100% because going back is a free pain. The reason for almost 100% is no one can 100% guarantee no leak my method brings this to almost 100% relatively speaking. There are not that many doughnuts as puller suggests I can get it down to 6 repair stock on van very...

I agree whole heartedly with that comment. I have been looking today and still have to find where it says it’s mandatory to be G3 registered to install or service an unvented system over whatever Litres. Anyone point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

None if they are brass. Put a (fridge) magnet on them to see, they look like steel to me. If they are metal they will eventually rust at the top inside the cistern. If the cistern overflows a brown mark will eventually be seen at the back of the pan and is a hell of a job to get rid of...

It seems to me gaspuller as this is your second venomous rant at me that you seriously need to go to charm school. As you have admitted on a previous post coming from Glasgow is not easy, but with a little practice is not that difficult. Cleaning the "blue stuff" off is I admit a pita but with...

1) use no silicone, plumbers mait or LSX (yuk product) or the ilk. 2) always dry all surfaces and I mean dry. 3) pump pliers ok, do not overtighten. 4) always use new washers, do-nuts. 5) cistern bolts that go through the cistern, make sure they are stainless steel (magnet) if not toolstation...

Just read the instructions , its that simple. Really.:)

All pumps come with a sound proofing mat or feet and are never fix to nowt as in your photo including the flexi hose which is used to reduce noise. I have even fixed pump to plywood base then rest on 25mm water pipe lagging, like floating a boat on drums so to speak. It works and that is the...

Yes for a DIYer push fit valve is better but make sure its the lever type (more robust) looking at the picky the olives are leaking at both ends. Have you not used jointing compound on the olives?. Don’t forget the inserts in either case!!!!!!! To be quite honest, you dont need valves on a bath...

Ok you have stopped the suspect leak, good but you may have more leaks somewhere near. More info required, is it a tank feed system or pressurised. Check the waste system to eliminate that as the photo shows that it could be possible for the soil pipe if connected to the bath may cause a...
