I am installing a concealed thermostatic shower valve, but just wanted some advise as to how deep in the wall to install it? do I have it level with the board or the tiles or behind both Thanks Brett

I had a thought about this last night, does the valve open due to a vacuum in the system? as the pipe has a hole drilled through it where the cable runs would this effect the operation of the valve?

ok thanks for that, I'll have a proper measure when I get home, I will definitely have it higher than spill level which has to be better than the 300-400mm below that level at the moment

is 300mm a good practice thing or an actual height because this will make it sit in front of the bathroom window higher than the window sill!

so I have done a bit of reading on these, is it right it has to be higher than the highest trap? if so that's not a problem as I have more than enough room to extend it Brett

Hi Richard I am not sure what you mean, how high should it be? the pipe the valve is in is 1M high from the horizontal soil pipe it fits into Brett

the cable thing, I couldn't believe what I was seeing! I am installing a enclosed toilet cistern/frame next to this so was going to box the whole end wall in, it wont be air tight as whoever drilled the hole from outside through this pipe also had 3 other goes at running this cable and left...

all I want to do is replace it like for like so I can remove the electric cable that has been run straight through it. so I assume if its a like for like replacement I wont need building regs? Brett

thanks do they have to be a certain height? can I box it in? Brett

can someone tell me what this does? whoever built the house in 1989 thought it would be ok to drill through this soil pipe and run a cable for the outside light!! as I have the floor up I might as well put it right but I am not sure what it is thanks Brett

nice one, i am going to confirm the measurements tonight and see what the best option is thanks again Brett

the 100mm offset might just do it! do these just push into the soil pipe? i dont have to clamp or solvent weld it?

I am re fitting our bathroom and would like to move the toilet pan, i only want to move in 100-150mm to the left so its in the middle of the space available so it wont be so close to the bath, the waste pipe comes up through the floor, so i just wondering the best way to fit toilet to waste pipe...

I am pulling the floor up this weekend, so will have more of an idea what i am dealing with. as far as i can tell each joist on its own is level, the issue i seem to have is that the 3 joists i have had a look at are at different hights from each other and the 25 year old chipboard has given...

i am refitting our bathroom and the floor is not level, since taking the old suite out i now have some room to work with, i have found that 3 joists are at different levels, i have only been able to check these where the plumbers cut through when fitting radiator, what i want to do is pull up...

can anyone recommend a good wall mount bracket for a toilet as its going to be under a window the only one i have found is the grohe rapid sl0.82 and just wondered if this is any good or if there are others i should be having a look at many thanks Brett

it was built in 1989, the wall was tiled half way up and where i have pilled the old tiles off there are no high spots but further up the wall that wasnt tiled is where the high spots are. i did wonder if it would be possible to shave off as much of the bump as possible so thats one option or...

i am planning on refitting our bathroom, but when planning the tiling i have found one stud wall has some vertical high spots, to me it looks like at every other stud, i am just looking for the best solution to this, i would say if i put a level across the high points then the gap would be 10mm...

i am just trying to get something clear in my mind before i start the bathroom job. i am fitting built in thermostatic controls and just wanted know as these will be halfway up the wall is it ok to T off these pipes for the bath taps? I am sure this is a straight forward question for...
