Yes olie20; chuck out the rubbish supplied.... good advice from your mentor. Yes you can use P/M and silicone but why use silicone as I said two materials to buy for one job?..... pointless. Now try to use P/M and silicone in a already fixed basin / pedestal, just replacing the chrome...

Yes Tony I'm glad as well that legislation is in place to protect everyone from disaster and it is well "policed" to prevent any accidents before they happen. I will sleep easily tonight on that knowledge. :)

Has it occurred to you to put in a pressure relief valve, if not we wait for the bang :shock: fall out glasses. 8)

Sooey has thought the problem through and knows the most successful way. All pottery is made 1/3rd larger than the finished product before firing, the two faces are rarely symmetrical to each other on contracting :) Plus using silicone for a one off is wa£tefull it goes off, also two products to...

Richard: Well so am I and I made the lead washers as an apprentice with a wooden chisel, hundreds of them and I can make a grommet out of hemp perfect. Yes I do move on ........... but silicone on a basin as a jointing method is a joint waiting to leak I have remade oodles with people who...

Tomplumb is making hard work of it that's for sure. Keep using this method and I will be in the repair work for ages. :D

Norcom: If you care to read, I was referring to sockets. However; If I did a tee hot it was a bowlliking that's for sure (Belgium HE) you just didn't do it . Point I was making; copper does not have to be hot to manipulate it like steel/iron once heated to cherry red it is soft whether cold or...

No point with copper. Heat to cherry red and let cool it will be soft, annealed, copper hardens with age, working, planishing etc. When this has been done the joint must be scrupulously clean if soft soldered. Brazing, silver soldering etc are not so demanding hence less failure rate. The...

I have seen loads fail. As I am in the repair game I would not use solder and very reluctant to use any expander with the modern table x, to thin, it can split. Old posts are a continuation of a specific subject and easier to find why open a new one on the same subject. if one can.:?

All expanders, tee extractors etc. and there's more, are continental more German Scandinavian usage. If you go a-plumbing in these places even normal houses they use this stuff with copper but thicker wall than ours. All that I have seen are brazed, F, zay zayz, ze lead zolder is for ze...

Its fine for your set-up. :) good valves to repair. more :)

Moved to CC.

The hose etc you mention is usually quite cheap to buy pennies in fact but add Pierre White to the equation and there's you game. PS don't upset him as he gets a bit tetchy. :roll: bless.

A human? Not good at cars but flushing and stuff 8) its all the way for me. So flush any boiler change, boiler will be happy that's for sure and last many more years than Mr sludge it. :D If you want to talk about fumes of combustion then I will get my god card out awarded to me not so long...

This scheme you mention has been joined by two home counties to adopt the checkatrade scheme. So now you pay both at over £ 700.00 plus a year for the minimum requirements. More counties are to follow suit. Yes a big con IMHO :|
