ok, sounds like using 15mm is fine. BUT is there ANY advantage in hooking up 22mm piping to the 15mm source ? and I mean ANY, as I WILL DO IT :D if it is 10% better or more, Id like to use 22mm !!!! cheers !!

guys, thanks for all the previous help, I have now 'looked' at the problem for 24 hours, time soon to get some pipes cut !!! OK - please hear me out, as I think Im losing my mind, BUT; a) I have only 15mm pipes in the bathroom b) I wish to use a 15-22-15 push-fit TEE, so that i can use...

Just wondering, but such is the ease of fitting these, with the plastic tubing etc, that I thought every plumber would use these, instead of messing about with copper ? is it just the cost difference ? im wanting to install a bath, and want to use a plastic TEE piece ( connecting...

cheers Jason, ( + everyone ! ) can i ask - is there any need to fit an ISOLATION VALVE ? I mean, its quicker to turn off the water supply mains, is there any 'technical' reason for fitting them ? maybe lack of mains tap / easy access ? etc ? ALSO, you say NOT to fit...

I love the plastic type push fit connectors, have used with radiator pipes before, no problems. however, intended bath is to be installed on 1st floor ( I HATE any water pipes on 1st floor !!! ) are the push fits safe for LONG TERM USE ? will the rubber washer perish ? please see...

INDEED !!!!! mmmmmmmmmmm is the stage im up right now........ i think washing is over rated anyway !!! let nature take its course... sniff sniff ANY HELP ANYONE ? :idea:

hmmm, that system would seem very inefficient, my understanding off underfloow heating, is that pipes are laid OVER existing floor, then essetially 'tiled in' with special floor 'grout'. heat does rise, but i dont think it would pass your floorboards, carpet etc, maybe 10% of the heat would...

hi guys, just ripped out my shower and shower floor ( major hassle, had to hammer it apart ! ) NOW, i can only see 15mm copper pipes under floor, there is no way to lift the floorboard, without ripping off tiles, plaster etc, as they go right into wall. basically i need to make a new...
