Can anyone identify this tap manufacturer? (Click images for larger). About the only useful logo or similar is the G on the body, so I'm assuming the manufacturer name begins with G. Actually, what I'm really trying to do is to source a replacement tap cartridge (quarter turn ceramic...

Thanks, I was worried I was a bit too waffly as I have that tendency. Thanks Softus and Chris, especially with the pics. Looks like my choices are to either box the whole lot it with a three-and-a-half inch box, or do considerable amounts of digging. Solder connections sound the most...

Hi. I want to move a radiator in my living room from its current position against a blank wall, 90degrees round a corner to under a window (please see first picture). At the moment the radiator blocks a nice wall where I could put furniture or wall-mounted TV or whatever, whereas under the...

For the benefit of the archives, you might like to know that I contacted [email protected] which is the contact address given at http://www.fluidmaster.com/html/contact_us_europe.html to ask for the part number for the part in Screwfix, to see if my local plumber's merchant could order...

See my other thread Choosing a syphon for a toilet cistern. I've already bought and installed a Turbo 88.[/url]

Thanks. "Fluidmaster Blanking Off Plug White" (for future searchers). Pity about the £5 delivery charge, though. I see this item is by Fluidmaster and the local plumber's merchant that I like stocks Fluidmaster fill valves so I wonder if they will be able to get hold of this. Mind you, they...

Thanks, I thought that might be the case but none of the Fluidmaster or pages on sites like Screwfix actually said that! My next problem is working out whether my syphon will get in the way of the float. My water enters the cistern on the same side as the flush handle for the syphon, so the...

Thanks, but can you be more specific, i.e. a search term or a direct link. Part of my problem is that I'm not sure what these things are called.

I've just changed the syphon in my toilet cistern because I wanted one with an internal overflow so that I could get rid of the external overflow pipe. However, I am now left with a hole in the bottom of the cistern where the 22mm overflow pipe used to be. I asked in one plumber's merchant...

I've been searching and looking at pictures of Fluidmaster bottom-entry valves, like http://www.screwfix.com/prods/84007/Plumbing/Toilet-Fittings/Fluidmaster-Bottom-Entry-Fill-Valve-UK but I'm still not sure - where does the water come out? Is it out of the bottom? People say that they are very...

I've been searching around and it seems only the Turbo 88 works this way, so I'll guess I'll get that. If anyone knows differently, or if they hate that particular syphon for some reason, please reply.

Is being a perfectionist such a bad thing? Yes, I am trying to achieve a nice result. Anyway, I thought it was obvious, but I'm talking about being able to do a big flush or a small flush depending on how I use the handle, just like as described at http://www.thomasdudley.co.uk/turbo88.asp ...

Can anyone recommend any dual flush systems at all, especially ones that work with a lever? I'm quite taken by the idea, but it doesn't seem to be too popular.

Thanks for the replies. The flushing handle is on the front of the cistern, so it looks like I could use this with a handle. I like the idea of the nice quiet re-fill too, as I do want a high quality overall system. Is there a UK site for Fluidmaster? The closest I could find is the...

Hi, first post here. I'm looking for advice on: 1, Whether to buy a syphon or a flapper valve for a toilet cistern. Which is most reliable? Which is most efficient use of water? 2, Dual-flush systems. Whether syphon-based or flapper valve-based, what is available, and how intuitive are...
