a Fluidmaster type is identical, and as the top part twists away from the base section, the new part reconnects by going in the opposite direction. (try it with the new one first, then all will become crystal - I promise.)

questions, questions, questions. usually along the length of the grey pipe there will be a name and some details of what the pipe is made of, suggest you take a close look and report back? Secondly, please inform me/us (?) of the brand name of the fittings you have bought? Extra grab rings...

I love these sorts of posts, just waiting on 'that phone call', "erm, is that the emergency plumber? hello? my husband has his thumb...." DH

avoid buying online.... esp anything starting v**t***a Use a proper plumbers merchant, or better yet get a CIPHE registered plumber to help you choose, and let him/her take responsibility for supplying and fitting it properly. Sheez, my experiences of customer supplied bathroom fittings...

c £500, (is that a pony? or a monkey?) my local indie merchant keeps them on the shelf. 22mm compression both ends, larger dia than what we fit under combo's. DH

I'll put my two old pennies worth in here... for a lady of germanic descent. I offered two 'German' brands, inc WB. She chose it, not me. I vowed at the end of that job I would not be fitting another. That still stands 4 years on. Now of course there are lots and lots of satisfied...

The 'aquabion' inline one (i.e. does not need half of a kitchen cup'd to itself), may be suitable for you. I know of a Landlord, who, despite the initial cost, and lifespan of say 5-6 years, swears by them and calculates that they are as effective at limescale control and cheaper with zero...

Whatever you do, do not use this one (from Screwfix for example). Only use McAlpine branded flexi's (if you really must use one at all). The pictured one does not have the internal bore required by a kitchen sink, its about the equivalent of 1 1/4", at best. AVOID. DH

The Customers description was very similar to your original post. That's all I am able to say to you. DH

I believe you have a failed 'Gas Safety Critical' component, Forum rules do not allow me to elaborate, I can only suggest that you engage a competent Registered Gas Installer to rectify this for you. See Gassaferegister.co.uk for a list of RGI's in your postcode area, if you do not already have...

Tibbot is not necessarily wrong. But, As to how format a presentation on the subject? Give your classmates a one word answer. RTFM. its all in the books you are given/have paid for as part of the course fees. Get them to read it for themselves. If you ever have a Gas Safe Inspector...

Wingers?, as in left or right on a footie pitch? or, maybe, Whingers..... (maybe it takes one to know one, eh) DH

As 45years said, models vary. Can you tell us just which model Vaiilant boiler you have?, some pictures would be good esp if you have a hot-water cylinder? DH

Right now Dickie, I have the same VetoPropac tech XL bag, just for Gas Servicing minor repairs as Dean has. Similar range of Gas related equipment too. For 'real' plumbing repairs installs, :roll: :roll: the FatMax rucsac for starters, with a FatMax tote box in one hand, dustsheet etc under...

As an RGI, not saying it cannot be achieved, but it would involve (at the very least) cutting out the steel section between the two threaded joints at each end and replacing with, say copper pipe into which a 'tee' can be inserted. Without X-ray specs, the length of the affected section is...

As I rarely leave East Anglia, perhaps locals could enlighten me as to why any charge has to be made? (ongoing maintenance notwithstanding) as I could only think the capital costs would have been paid manyfold by now? DH

Aw shucks Dan, 'made on a Mac' doncha know :wink:
