Ta, As the question was addressed to one.... Didn't want to step on any toes. :oops: Joe

Sorry to jump in, but, Yes Clockwise to close and Anti- To open. Regards Joe

Hi Tim, From what i've heard (and think seen - Screenshots etc) its just a 'Offline' copy of the usual Parts Arena site, with some better search functions, and has been adapted to work better on the 'small' screen. Just check out www.partsarena.com/baxi If you haven't already -...

Hi all, I've got a problem with a Potty Netaheat 10/16 Electronic (GC 4160167), which has failed on the main valve. Have checked and the main solenoid has gone open circuit, Pilot works and lights OK, just no main burner. PCB also giving out 240VAC to T!-T3 (main valve) so am now certain...

Hi, Quick point about your PC PSU - you say the computer is Dell? You should find that the PSU is bog standard ATX type - which you can get from almost anywhere, small pc repair places/maplins/PC world even. Given that a PSU can be as little as £20 for a half decent one...Cheaper than a...

Thanks for the replies guys, I was just wondering about the plumbers-mait type seal that comes with the sink - since most sinks I've seen (or should that be noticed!) have the usual smear of silcone around them. But yes I had sealed up the edge of the sink cutout this eve with silcone...

Hi guys, I'm going to be fitting my sink + hob into my new worktop in the next day or so, but have a question about sealing them up. Both the sink + hob came with strips of sealant to be fitted under them (like plasticine or dumdum type stuff), if this seal is run all the way around...

Hi, WhenI've had to take these silly boxes off I use one of these security bit - could be described as 'Fork' type - but dunno proper name. Like this You would usually get them in a security bit set from screwfix, hardware shop, Maplins etc. Joe

JohnD, When you say subscript ... if you're referring to the 'signature' line at the bottom... I 've seen that it is Dans' usual line so I have no probs with that at all :) When I first saw it I though it was Great :lol: Dan, If No prob with you - No prob with me. :) We're all...

Dan, Have I touched a nerve or said something to upset you :?: Nothing I had said previously was meant to be snidey or such... I am really grateful for any advice anyone more experienced in these matters than me...read anyone :) Could give. I just like re-assurance! I could blindly...

Ok Ta for that Dan, It seems that the limited concensus is going for the 'C' option, Swept bends it is also - I had originally planned on using them. Out of curiosity - When would you use 'normal' 90deg bends? - On horizontal runs where it doesn't matter about the way the water flows...

Hi Bahco, Cant really box in the pipes inside (washing machine sits up against the wall), only wanted one outlet from inside, rather than separate for Wash/Machine + another for the sink. I had thought that 'B' might be incorrect 'technically' with too steep a fall, but then looking at...

Hi all, Just looking for your opinions on the best way to run a new kitchen drain pipe I'm installing. I've done a quick sketch below showing the layout of the pipe exit from the wall, the Drain hopper it'll feed into (am in first floor flat), and the three poss pipe runs. I've also noted...

Lost the special string :shock: :shock: Whatever will you do now - I've been told they're really hard to come by... :wink: No probs matey Joe :lol:

Hi, I had to use one of these a few weeks back when I cracked an old Copper/lead sweated joint. I used a standard 1/2" 7lb type which I got from screwfix (also saw them at B&? @ about 2.5x the price!!). Apparently the pipes are quite hard to work out, the suggested metyhod is to measure the...

Hi guys, Thanks for the replies, I had a quick look at the setup last night, it doesn't seem as tho the 'drop' from the sink branch will need to be as steep as I thought. :) I'm able to lift the W/M standpipe up higher than I had thought whilst still keeping a decent height on both the...

Ok, thats what I was thinking too, but I remember reading somewhere that steep pipe runs can cause syphonage and suck the water out of the trap, or at least maKe it ... GURGLE GURGLE GURGLE :lol: (good sound effects eh?) Joe

Ok Thanks for replying Bahco, I did wonder if the post was too long, and so did TRY to keep it brief :? 1" per metre was something around where I was normally thinking, but then theres the problem of the height difference between the two runs, and so a steep drop on the Sink branch...

Hi guys, I'm in the progress of re-doing my kitchen, but will soon need to do the waste pipes and could do with some advice. I've stuck a quick pic (its crap..I know) which will hopefully make what Im saying clearer. I had planned on the pipes being in a sort of 'T' shape with the Sink trap...
