Thanks so much for the advice. the offset is around 2" over a length of about 14" so I think I will try the flexi option, and follow your advice with a compression coupling, Cheers!!!

Something along these lines perhaps ?

Yes no Isolating valves fitted at the time, The issue is that the taps and the 90 degree elbow joints are offset, im assuming the plumber must have bent the tails to fit....If I were to buy a tap with flexible ends could i cut tails about 100mm from the elbow bend and then attach the flexible...

The old mixer tap neck has just sheared, its no suprise as its 17 years old, so we need to replace the whole tap assembly asap. its plumbed in as per pics. If possible id like to try it myself, perhaps from the elbow joint to the new tap fitting with a flexible hose. What would you expert chaps...

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated......

so back to basics, the panel activates the sounder/strobe by switching the -ve side of the circuit (ie a constant +ve to the sounder/strobe). as opposed to a standard house lighting circuit where the Live is switched and the Neutral solid back to the board. apologies for my lamens terms.....:unsure:

Its a flashguard...As a side note, and please excuse my lack of knowledge, but whats the reason they call it the -VE Trigger/Tamper/strobe. Is it simply a case that the switch wire from the panel is on the negative side of the circuit.

so just the 5 cores need connecting between panel and bellbox then ?

I have bought an AG6 to replace my ageing flashguard (thats what we called them back them) it was sometimes called a Novaguard. Anyway its connected to an ADE Optima XM6 panel. As I recall there was the 6 cores connected to the flashguard, the TADB and the + and - strobe connections. The...

Our Bathroom door wont stay open, ie once opened and let go of, it just closes itself. I tired removing the hinge pins and putting a very slight kink in them (A common idea from YouTube) and that worked, but after a while the hinges started to creak annoyingly as the door tried to close itself...

Fitting an MDF bath panel tomorrow, and need to cut it to size, whats the best type of blade to use, and any tips on acheiving a neat cut....

Having laid a 6mm WBP ply subfloor in our bathroom ready for the new vinyl floor covering as the missus calls it, its Lino to me.....Is it a good idea to seal the ply, especially the joints/edges around the bath/toilet area with a diluted pva to, in theory give it extra protection from the water...

We had a ryobi cordless grinder and recip saw at work, they were dreadfull for pro day in day out use, the one I have access to is old and as I mentioned its 110v so has to have the heavy transformer. Looking at the costs of decent battery jigsaws, I think I may go for corded after...

Got the Jigsaw out anyway, to cut out the toilet base. I personally dont own a jigsaw, I use my 25 year old 110v one I carry on my van, which always has to be acompanied by the heavy Transformer, so Im looking to invest in one for myself, What are your expert opinions on Battery powered ones...

Laying a ply floor, cutting straight lines is simple with my Bosch oscillating tool, but cutting out shapes and rounded corners is near impossible to do neatly......or am I missing something, do any of you experts use them for cutting out rounded shapes ?

Great advice, thanks, however lifting the Pan is not feasible, is there a "filler" available that will do the job, and also do you think I should "fill" over the screwa fixing the 6mm Ply down...... Thanks again

Just finished lining our bathroom floor with WBP ply in preparation for a new "Lino" flooring.....What can i do to the WBP and the area around the toilet to protect it from getting wet and damaged when folks "Miss" the pan etc etc. The old laminate flooring we have removed had "Blown" and...

We are looking for a new bath panel, nothing fancy but we would prefer a tongue and groove look, so therefore its more than likely to be made from MDF. What do you expert chaps recommend, Many reviews of the B&Q ones, claim that water/moisture damaged them very quickly, So in order to get...

cheers, great advice.....

We had a bit of as disaster last night, as the bath emptied its contents onto the bathroom floor and kitchen roofspace, creating a waterfall coming from the kitchen light fitting and water seeping down the walls. The problem was that the waste pipe had become separated from the plug/trap bend of...
