Mike, WHy are you worried about the plaster, it won't be taking to weight of the fixings anyway. What is the actual substrate your fixing to Rico

Hi there, First off, the 1bar on the front is the pressure in the central heating side and nothing to do with the flow of hot water. As for the time being taken, that is mainly down to 2 things, the length of pipe runs to each outlet and the flow rate of the incoming cold mains. Rico

Ant, Yes it does refer to the flush volume, but that is determined by the time the flapper stays open. Just follow the troubleshooting guide and you'll soon have it sorted. The handle is easy to use though is'nt it. I still don't understand why it has taken so long for these things...

Ant, All depends on the position of the airhole on the flapper. If you take a look, the flapper has numbers around it. 1-9 form memory. If as position 1, then the flapper will drop almost straight away. Position 9 it stays open longer. You just need to work out the best number to get...

Ant, Fluidmaster is def the way to go. The handle/button only needs the slightest touch as all you need to do is break the seal between the rubber flapper and the outlet. Once that is done the air inside the flapper takes it the reat of the way, filling with water and eventually closing...

Hi again, Depends on how you're going to change the pipework, if soldering, then yes full drain down is best, as you can't solder wet pipes. If using compression fittings, then you should be able to "bung" the system and just alter ONE pipe at a time to hold the vacuum in the pipework. Rico

Hi there, Depends on if you have to change any of the pipework, or its just the valves that are being changed and also on what type of system you have. Open Vented or sealed. If sealed easiest to just to drain whole lot. If open and just changing valves you could "BUNG" the system as...

No sweat. And good luck with the auction, don't get too carried away. Rico

Hi there, Don't know about cost. But make it a condition of you purchasing. Either they get it put right before you buy, or get quotes in to do it properly then deduct this off the value. Rico

Ant, You've made the wrong choice IMHO. Fluidmaster give LIFETIME guarantee on their flapper valves, no maintenence needed, no moving parts to go wrong. Once the air bubble is positioned where you want it, it really is a fit and forget system. Can be operated by anbody, young, old, injured...

Hi, As this is a "new" installation, you're going to need LBC permission anyway. Discuss any problems about waste withem, they will advise what they want doing. Rico

Fit an ANTI SYPHON TRAP to your basin. Rico

Hi there, These systems from Fluidmaster really are the dogs. Firstly, what type of toilet do you have close coupled or low level, not that it really matters anyway. Only other thing you need to check is the size of the oulet on the bottom of your current syphon. As you will see in the...

You need to be asking them for a Negative Head pump. As far as I can see they do them. Failing that look at Salamander or Watermill. But speak to Turners first asking to Neg Head pumps. Rico

prits, make up fairly weak soultion of washing up liquid and water in a squirty bottle. Give it a shake and then leave to settle back to a liquid rather than bubbles. Then just squirt using a fine spray and smooth silicon with your finger. easy peasy rico

Try round the back of your local boozer, you'll probably them empty beer crates waiting for collection. Rico

Hi there, This would be better in the tiling section but here goes. Mix up some washingup liquid and water in a spray bottle, shake and leave to settle. Squirt on silicone and then profile using finger. Rico

Hi there, Yes you can get them, just go to your local plumbers merchants. Just as easy to change the whole thing as you need to strip the old one out to take with you to make sure you get the right washer Rico

Hi there, Cut them off and get replacements from Plumbers Merchant or B&Q Rico
