    Pan connectors

    At the pan end. The rubber seal on the connector is a bit flimsy, added with the tension on in it (the actual connection to the pan).

    Pan connectors

    Just pulled it apart and had a look actually. I initially thought the pan connecter went straight in to the (finished floor level) elbow but there is a straight piece coming out of it (solvent, 1.25" exposed) where the pan connector goes into. If I compress the flexi and hold it somewhere...

    Pan connectors

    Can you get something like this, but instead of being a pan connector inlet it's where the pan connector outlet goes into? I could replace the existing connector like-for-like (or even keep it) if I could raise the height slightly of the soil waste and angle it towards the pan which would ease...

    Pan connectors

    Hi, I have a flexible connector at the moment, and the rubber seal seems to be giving as there is a drip after flushing. It doesn't help that the location of the waste in relation to the pan outlet means the connector is probably on the 'stretch' limit. It's a McAlpine part (I think WC-F26S)...

    Bath waste with overflow filler

    PS. I'll definitely be getting one like that. From the looks of the McAlpine I linked earlier is (and also seems front-based fixing?).

    Bath waste with overflow filler

    Nope, definitely not serviceable from above! The whole thing is brass. And definitely had it as the spring is rusted and so snapped in half. Took some pics of behind and underneath. I reckon once I take all the pipework out of the way underneath I'll be able to get close enough for a complete...

    Bath waste with overflow filler

    I'll have a look at that, see if I can get the current one out

    Bath waste with overflow filler

    Yeah sorry, I always get them mixed up! Popup is the one you described earlier where something controls the position (twisting the overflow or pushing/pulling a pin) and click-clack is where you directly press the mushroom bit. I have the latter; there is a spring loaded male based pin in the...

    Bath waste with overflow filler

    Luckily on the existing one, the inlet drops straight down and then comes to the front of the bath where it connects to the mains water. That McAlpine one I posted has a flexible hose pre-connected so that bit I'm not worried about as would just replace that bit of copper and connect the hose.

    Bath waste with overflow filler

    Hope this is alright.

    Bath waste with overflow filler

    I found this one, which seems as long as I can get to offer it up at the back (which I probably could), it's screwed in all from the the front. https://mcalpineplumbing.com/traps/bath-traps-fillers-and-wasteflow/hc2650uk-filc-chrome-plated-brass-bath-filler-and-overflow-top-access-clicker

    Bath waste with overflow filler

    No. It's click-clack style.

    Bath waste with overflow filler

    Yes - I made up my own actually to paint in the same as the walls; only the bottom bit is tiled to give a skirting effect (same as all the way around the room)

    Bath waste with overflow filler

    Is that physically easy? I say that as my overflow is wall side, and in the middle of the bath!!

    Bath waste with overflow filler

    Hi, I have one of these on my bath. The popup mechanism of the waste has snapped so needs to be replaced. Do these tend to all have standard fittings, for me to connect the existing overflow pipe to a new one, or does the whole thing need to be replaced? Thanks

    IKEA PAX Hinges

    That's what I mean. £10 per set of 3 or 4 (the 3 set is also £10!) is a bit ridiculous.

    IKEA PAX Hinges

    Yeah, they're the ones. They come as standard with PAX.

    IKEA PAX Hinges

    Hi, Does anyone know if they use truly standard hinges, and hinge positioning? A set of 4 from them is £10 and I need 40 hinges, so £100 total. Seems a bit steep in comparison to what's available! Cheers
