    Need advice on what fitting i need for a stop tap

    Could you post a picture perhaps with a rule or tape measure next to it to give an idea of scale. One of the pro's on here will no doubt be able to identify the fitting.

    Need advice on what fitting i need for a stop tap

    The end connections may be compression in which case you will need a compression nut and olive. Does it look like this http://www.screwfix.com/prods/15440/Plumbing/Pegler-Brassware/Pegler-Stop-Tap-15mm

    No Fly zone imposed..

    Libyan state TV reported that what it called the "crusader enemy" had bombed civilian areas of Tripoli, as well as fuel storage tanks supplying the western city of Misrata. Crusader Enemy! Great, that will kick off the religious extremists :roll: :evil:

    please help hotpoint wd860 willnot stop spinning?

    At the end of the cycle does the timer knob go to the stop position or is it sticking? I.E when it won't stop spinning can you manually turn the knob to the end cycle position and does it stop? Could be sticky timer. Edited to say-Sorry just had a look at a larger picture on line, it doesn't...

    No Fly zone imposed..

    Would agree with Whitespirit, yet another situation we should keep our nose out of. I believe the spirit of revolution must come from within. If the Libyans’ are dissatisfied with their current leadership they should rebel against it. Take a leaf from the Egyptians book, respect to them! If...

    Mira Zest cutting out

    If its anything like my Mira Sport there will be a thermal trip on top of the heater. Could be faulty and is replaceable. Have a look at some of the shower spares suppliers online, they show a schematic with parts etc. Always isolate supply and double check with multi meter before working on...

    Bath tap cartridge stuck ?? pictures

    As a last resort, remove the tap (so you don't damage pipework/sink) Find a socket that is slightly smaller than the nut, if the nut is imperial you may find a metric that is slightly smaller and vice versa. Try hammering the socket on to the nut and then use it to remove nut. Its a bit brutish...

    New Boiler

    Many thanks Mehan, I think I'll go for the two 90's it will be well clear of the lintel. Will arrange with sparky to remove the socket (or perhaps reposition for supply) Template includes 10mm clearance each side, was relieved it fitted. Like I say this position is the best choice for shortest...

    New Boiler

    Bump. Calling Mehran, calling Mehran :) The flue question is the final hurdle to my boiler choice. It will be later this year. Don't fancy switching the heating off just yet :shock: Just to confirm, I am getting a good local RGI to install, but will do water side myself up to tails. (He is...

    Smell coming from toilet now the sistern?????

    Is it sited on a suspended floor? Could there be perhaps another connection into the sewer pipe below the floorboards that has come adrift? This happened in my downstairs loo, the sink waste ran under the floor and had popped out. It was very difficult to identify where the smell was coming...

    open therm compatible wireless modulating room thermostat?

    Certainly doesn't seem to be a lot of info on the Honeywell website regarding the 957. Perhaps they've got a warehouse full of older stock to shift first :P

    New Boiler

    Hi again, If the image has uploaded you will see I have made a template out of some old wallpaper to show the chosen location of the boiler. A few questions; The flue outlet is within the 300mm requirement to the window due to its offset nature and also more importantly is right where the...

    Best power shower method from Combi boiler

    Good point I stand corrected. Would it be acceptable as a rough measure of flow rate to open the bath tap fully and put a bucket under it for 15 or 30 seconds, then measure the amount of water in the bucket? Whilst doing this someone could monitor the pressure gauge and see how much it drops...

    Best power shower method from Combi boiler

    Have a look at your washing machine, normally they are connected to the water supply with a valve, see http://www.diynot.com/shop/WASHING_MACHINE_VALVE_15_X_3_4_BLUE__RED_HANDLES/6842 If so pop into your local plumbers merchant and get a test gauge, see...

    Fernox TF1 Valves

    Thanks, I have been looking at 1"fem x 22mm adaptors with the idea of using separate 22mm valves, but all the adaptors seem to be solid (they don't have the loose backnut like the fernox valve) Is there a specific name for the type of fitting with the loose backnut so I can do a search? I...

    Fernox TF1 Valves

    Hi Transam, the valves reduce down to about 14mm dia. That would be like having a piece of 15mm with reducers soldered into a 22mm header(twice) The filter itself will create resistance so I would like to reduce the overall as much as possible. Yes I am probably being pedantic but for the...

    Best power shower method from Combi boiler

    Firstly I am not a professional plumber so I am prepared to be shot down in flames here :cry: I am currently researching a boiler replacement project. This will be sized to include a new shower in the future. I am replacing an aging system boiler with a combi as I believe it suits my needs...

    Fernox TF1 Valves

    Just taken delivery of a Fernox TF1 filter. The cyclone part etc seem to be the part however the isolating valves are reduced bore not full flow. Seems a shame after planning a system to flow as efficiently as possible only to have a bottleneck at the filter! Firstly could someone confirm the...
