Nope, :wink: How do you drain the water out of the DCV if the drain-off is after? Drain-off is to drain the water from everything after the stoptap. :D Although not a regs requirement it makes things easier if the feed comes up not down...

Except it is considered a sin to draw or depict the Prophet Mohammed... :wink:

Actually, they advertise that they have over 10,000 lines ex-stock. That doesn't mean that they have everything in stock at the counter... it means that they can deliver. I must say that the last few occasions I've been in there have been guys there to pick up stuff but "the order got sent...

Does this tie in with ellal's "no more nails" post?

Why? I can let anyone I want live in my house rent free... (well I could if I'd paid off the mortgage)

Have seen it done, it's great for washing the dogs too. Would imagine same regs would apply (isolation, drain off, DCV) - probably do well to mark it as hot water too.

Is the check valve the same as the non-return valve? In the terms that you are speaking, yes. Do I need another stop valve after water main? Yes Do I really need drain off valve? Yes -although it depnds on the layout of your pipework Installation should be as follows (after the tee...

At least they get something right.

Yup, Put some dettol down your drain/plughole!

Erm, not that I recall. In fact Thatchers Britain was in it's second year when I was born... :wink:

I regularly have to deal with "loss of supply" events in work. It's amazing how many people will take as much as they can carry - even if the water is only going to be off for a few hours. One guy came with one of those roll-along caravan thingys and two huge jerry cans, someone else had a...

Yup: Failing that a good soak in a hot bath and a pair of tweezers.

Also a good idea to have a glass of water - if you stall/lose your track you can use taking a sip of water to cover it - also helps stop your mouth drying up.

Make sure it is in a duct in any part of the floor that is going to be solid. Regulatory requirement, also means if you have any probs in future you can just pull the old pipe out and slide a new one in...

It depends if: a) You will be getting any benefit (like progression) as a result of doing extra work. b) Things will get any better if you get a proper promotion. If you are effectively doing relief management then you should be paid accordingly (along with additional travel, home to new...

I'm sure if we have any antipodean members here they can confirm or deny, but I believe that in New Zealand it is called "failing to stop short" and is an endorsable offence. I was in the back of a stationary car (waiting to turn right on a straight section of road) that was rear ended at...

If your phone is "out of contract" ie your 12/18 months is up, I believe they have to supply you with the code free of charge as the phone is deemed to be wholly yours...

Or do big, shiny new expensive cars catch your eye more? Two multi-storeys by me got slated recently when they scrapped free parking for blue badge holders. Their argument (and a valid one in my opinion) is that they provide premium spaces (larger, nearest the doors/lifts) for disabled...

Water has always gone upstairs! How else would it get into loft tanks? There is no hard and fast rule for the price of replacing incoming water supply pipes - get quotes from local firms. If it is a lead pipe then see if your Water Co runs a scheme for lead replacement. Some will do all...

Or was it that he'd never experienced problems with properly installed plastic pipe/fittings?
