    Grades of Copper Pipe?

    Hmmm, yes, & in all probability it would end up on flea bay, just waiting for a sucker, (me), the alkathene pipe is defiantly cheaper, but I think I would prefer to pay the extra for copper. I think I`ll look for a branded & kitemarked pipe. EDIT. No Bugger it, I will go with the MDPE, I...

    Grades of Copper Pipe?

    Thanks Tony, I did think of blue pipe, but although it initially runs under the floor, it will route up through a false wall & over the dining room & kitchen floors. The pipe I`m looking at has no kitemark or grade.

    Grades of Copper Pipe?

    Hi, I have recently inspected all my pipework & have discovered a section of 15mm copper pipe, in between my 22mm main stop tap & my 22mm home supply. This length of pipe is about 50 feet long. It goes from the front of the house to the rear. I want to replace this with 22mm. I have seen some...

    Tiling concrete floor

    My shower room floor is re enforced concrete, sat, I believe on polystyrene slabs, which are sat on a blue type plastic sheet, (Built 7 years ago). The concrete was covered with asphalt then tiled. My problem is that the floor is higher than the adjoining room floor, & I want it level. If I...

    Many thanks. It certainly looks the part, thinner than most too, I like the reviews on it, one question, what power output or liters per second will I need for a good hot shower?

    Salus Motorised valves

    I had 3, MV222, 2 port motorised valves fitted about 18 months ago. Since then, all 3, & 2 of the replacements have failed, all with the same fault, duff actuators. I contacted Salus by e mail & sent them a bit of an angry mail, telling them their actuators were a load of crap. I was amazed...

    Gas Jet??

    I have a Baxi brazillia 8s wall heater in my garage. Is it possible to convert the jet size so it will run on Propane? The gas injector is a CO1. I have made a few calls to registered corgi installers, one wants £75.00 just to come out & look, & one who tells me the heater is too old. I...

    Indirect mains pressure cylinder

    Yes, absolutely. I didn't know you could get plastic cylinders. So, basically, there is no difference with the new s/s cyl to the copper one except for the increase in pressure, & the safety valves. Can anyone reccomend a good cyl, must fit through a 2 foot sq hatch. I want to be able to...
