I have a 22mm brass compression equal tee, with one leg feeding a redundant water tank which I want to remove. The easiest way as far as I can see is to use a blanking disc on one of the joints. My question is - are these brass discs universal, and so any disc will work with any particular brand...

Hi, I have previously tanked a shower enclosure where it was the type that had the upstands fitted to the wall, tanking done, then tiled within the cubicle. It (tanking) was simple to do as essentially the vertical and horizontal edges were in place and meant you taped a U shape and...

the cooker hood or whatever sits above the hob - if its an inline fan would the hood be of a different type to standard which tends to have a fan inbuilt?

i have plenty of space in the loft, and i like the idea of the quietness of inline. what would be used thought as a vent/hood for these type of things?

I need to vent a cooker hood a good few metres, with a few bends so was looking at the idea of a booster fan. I presume that these are wired to come on with the hood itself, rather than being a separate unit with its own on/off? What I wasn't certain about was how to ensure that it has the...

Looks like this...

there is the vent where the boiler exits - it is on that wall. looking from another room there is approx 1/2 to 1" cap between the core and the vent pipe on the outside

ok, so linked to light is the suggested..... i guess it will also help with my stinky children who are not able to open the window :evil: what is a recommended timer period in this case? is it even necessary?

The idea of tearing down the wall isn't appealing as it is in decent condition and I have only recently had the ceiling repaired/replaced :( The real issue I am trying to address isn't so much the fact there is a gap, but more the problem with the air movement. When it is below zero and...

But does the timer begin at the point of switching on? Or if it is linked to a light, would it continue to run while the light is on, then begin the timer when the light goes off? Just seems really unnecssary, especially with 3 kids forever in and out. I don't always necessarily (summer say)...

OK, am going to install an inline bathroom extractor in the loft, probably operated by a pull switch. I need a few things cleared up though.... 1. Since it will be in the loft and therefore relatively quiet, how to avoid the risk of it being left on? With our old bathroom it was ceiling...

OK, the bathroom replacement continues, and so far have removed all wall tiles except for those that are part of the existing shower. Was originally going to fit new tiles to the areas the old ones were removed from, but may now get some areas made-good then skimmed instead of re-tiling...

Hi, to cut a long story short I have a top floor tenement flat, with a couple of rooms (kitchen, wc) protruding from the main building. The kitchen in particular is pretty cold, particularly when blustery. I thought the main reason was the lack of loft insulation in the protruding part of the...

surely you can have it drip into a sealed container of some sort?? :? just found a quote of "A typical rule of thumb for boilers and water heaters is 0.1 l/h of condensate per boiler kW rating". so 30kw x0.1 x6hrs = 18 litres per day - that seems a bit steep. would certainly rule out...

Right now the 20mm plastic condensate piping from a Worcester S30i condensing boiler goes down a wall in the kitchen then through the wall horizontally to join a bath outflow. I will be moving things around a wee bit and so was going to reposition the pipe (an effort in terms of drilling...

that looks the thing...only ones i could see anywhere were female :oops: Obviously I will be hiding the hot and cold supply behind tiles but presenting these connectors - any suggestion to making this part of it watertight so nothing runs down behind the tiles etc where the pipes are? I am...

Hi, can anyone suggest what I need for this shower: http://www.victoriaplumb.com/images/installation_guides/new/SRKCHI01_108.pdf http://www.victoriaplumb.com/Showers/Thermostatic-Shower-Valve-Sets/Chime-Cubic-White-Riser-Rail-Kit-with-Shelf-inc-Sealant_5045.html Normally for a...
