I love to see traffic wardens booking illegally and/or irresponsibly parked vehicles (especially ones with blue badges). * Dog muck annoys me too - I have dog and pick it up, why can't others. I also can't stand people who just shove their dogs to roam out in the street instead of walking...

What pipe material/size for H&C? Are they the same?

You will friction loss along the pipe and across fittings too though. Am I right in saying that it is definitely gravity fed for both H&C?

QC?

The idiots who lean against the "thankyou for not smoking on this site" signs at our local hospital whilst they have a smoke. Some old fella was having a go at two guys today, they were in the middle of telling him to f**k off and mind his own business when I joined in heckling too... :lol...

The other option is to repack the gland. Undo the gland nut and wrap a good bit of PTFE tape around the shaft/spindle. Re-tighten the gland nut to psuh the PTFE back into the body and tighten. Should be enough to stop it dripping/leaking. As Megawatt said though, may be easier to leave it...

From what limited knowledge I have of the PWA I believe it is the person doing the work that needs to instigate notice under the Act. Not sure it applies to everything fitted to a party wall though, mainly structural. I will happily stand corrected if I'm wrong. I'm not sure where you...

The joys of push-fit plumbing eh? Lets see how many inserts/couplings we can get into a system... :lol:

Hence why cereal crops take most of the year to grow...

With regards to the water you can either have: seperate metered supplies into the building for each flat (usually from a manifold outside). Common supply into the building with an internal manifold in a "meter room". Meters outside each flat, boxed in on the landing either fed from...

One at a time? :?

Once the fitting is soldered do you not consider it to be part of the pipe? Besides, the situation is in regards to repairing a pipe in the position in which it was legally installed at the time. Providing the materials used in it's repair are acceptable and the work is carried out in a way...

Although they probably had the benefit of being legally installed at the time. Current regs also allow for pipes to be installed in walls - as long as they are in a sleeve and are "easily to withdraw", it is the fittings that must be accessible - but of course you knew that, you're an...

No, they'd try and sell them a new boiler... :lol:

Is that the same news that said plumbers are earning £100k?

If I highlight a piece of text within my post and click on any of the text editing buttons to wrap tags (italic/bold/underline/quote), it just inserts the opening tag right at the end? When using IE I can highlight a line of text and do what I want with it. In firefox I've either got to type...

Don't like the look of that. The "order a fob" section asks for your bank details to set up the standing order but it isn't a secure site... :shock: EDIT:Foolish boy, it's a form to print & post. How 90's... :o

Shame they don't show plastic pipes too... :wink:

As has been said on here tons of times previously. Never believe anybody who says they have loads of work waiting for you. Have a look in the Trade Talk Forum...

At last! We know Thermo has an alter-ego :wink:
