Thanks for the helpful info. I’ve taken it all onboard. What would you replace the plastic Y with?

Here is an awful rough sketch of what I propose lol https://i.imgur.com/tisk9Vv.jpg T into the 15mm plastic pipe with a speedfit T (yellow). Red signifies copper pipe. Speedfit elbow (yellow) to copper pipe (red). Then isolation valve (green) to copper pipe to double check valve (blue) to...

Hi mate, do you remember this thread? https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/need-a-feed-for-outside-tap.465578/page-2#post-3715005 I've decided to get round to it and wonder if I may ask another piece of advice? Here’s an image of the pipe work under the sink. https://i.imgur.com/bNJhd87.jpg...

Cheers mate. One last thing that has sprung to mind. The blue and red pipes are for the washing machine and dishwasher but what prevents the backflow of water as there are no check valves used?

Guys where would you cut into to take a feed for an outside tap?

Thanks guys. Looking into ordering parts for outside tap.

I’d looked at that but was thrown when it said in description: Description Universal Tap Connector with Adjustable frame For most of Taps With Square end My tap has a round end. Guess it’s worth a punt all the same.

Apologies. Just the stand hose connection. Hozelock Hose end connector (12.5mm & 15mm) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000TAUEMA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_.5nmBb04G6SWD

Been looking online and reading mixed reviews on various connectors and am wondering has anyone got a tap like this and found a connector that works? Thanks in advance

Just for future reference should anyone encounter this problem. Matt can be painted over Soft Sheen without any unnecessary prep work. Both paints are water based and thus compatible with each other. The difference is that the Soft Sheen has a bit more “vinyl” added to it to make slightly more...

Hey guys, Between a mixture of stupidity and not paying attention I touched up my mum’s sitting room with a soft sheen instead of the Matt. It dawned on me quite quickly and thankfully I didn’t continue. Can a waterbased white undercoat be used to save sanding? Don’t want her stuff converted...

Big thanks guys! Much appreciated.

Hey guys, Quick one for you pros....why do monobloc flexis have different taps ends on them? I notice that one has a longer stem than the other.

Thanks mate. They may just be an answer to an odd issue!

Hey guys, Removed one of those internal door closing chain devices and it's left a 125mmx25mm indentation on both the frame and the door where it once resided. I could pack the holes and fill them but wondering if there maybe is a plate of something I can get to cover them?

That pic is taken from be looking down on the pipe from bathroom window. Really appreciate your valued input, both you and John ;)

I'd love to but I have no ladders to reach up and replace the lot. I can literally only reach out the window and get a hand on that elbow. I'll dig out my superman costume and see how the flying skills are though

Thanks again mate. I'm gonna ask you to go the extra mile for me and see if you can link me to the appropriate pipe that I need on screwfix or B&Q if you don't mind? I've been looking and all I can see are the solvent weld compatible ones.

Basin. The trap is 32mm. I had originally been trying to connect a coupler to the 1 1/4" waste pipe then the trap to it. It then dawned on me that that coupler wasn't fitting because it isn't designed to be connected straight to pipe in that way l, as was said earlier.

The grey pipe is 1 1/4". I just pulled it out of the elbow in the pic above from outside. Surely it's a case of just replacing that piece of pipe?
