Yes, it's similar to that, but the drain off is actually at a right angle, with one end going into the boiler, and the other end on the flow pipe (and the drain off pointing down). Are these standard fittings then and not specific to individual models? Where can I get the washers from and are...

Wonder if any of you guys can help. I drained down the heating circuit to do some work on the system (resite a couple of radiators), and i've ended up damaging the plastic o-ring/gasket on the drain off valve plug (by overtightening I guess). This is constantly leaking now when I refill the...

If you install a floating floor, do you need clamps to ensure gaps are minimised?

I have asked for various samples to be sent so I will compare them, and i'll put your questions to the company's regarding storage etc. I assumed you secret nailing was the preferred option? I wouldn't mind glueing it as i'm sure it would be easier to install. The secret nailer machines can...

Hi Guys, Wondering if some of the experts can offer any advice. We're looking around for Solid Oak Wooden flooring and are seeing suppliers sell flooring originating from Russia and from China. The russian oak is slightly dearer than the chinese one, but i'm wondering if anyone has experience...

The wooden flooring we are looking at is tongue and grooved on all 4 sides, so if I saw off part of the board, how do I attach the next board to it? Thanks for the help guys - i'm getting there slowly!

wow, i didn't know you could attach the floor straight onto the joists. The wood we are looking at is solid oak 18mm so I guess this should be suitable. a) What do we do if the edge of a board goes in between joists? Do we attach a noggin at this point? b) Uneven levels of joists - Will...

I'm looking to install real wood flooring in a fairly large through lounge. The old floor boards are in pretty bad condition and not level, so I was going to take them all up and replace with 25mm Plywood - putting strips of wood on the joists where they are not level. I am going to put noggins...

To provide access i'm going to get a 'top access' soil trap in-line with a HepVo valve. I'm going to connect into the soil stack further down, outside the bathroom, so i can have access to it for rodding purposes, and so I can fully tile the bathroom. This leaves the trap/HepVo joints for...

I've been reading through recent posts on this, but am a bit unclear exactly where to put the AAV, or if in fact I need one. I will have 2 new toilets connected on the first floor like the digram below. There is already another toilet on the 2nd floor (soil stacks run horizontally...

Sand/Cement mix will probably be cheaper as well. I was just a bit concerned that the tray might move after a while if the bedding compound doesn't stick to the WBP Ply correctly, and the whole piece (tray + bedding compound) comes loose. From the sounds of it, mostly anything I use shouldn't...

I know - they sound great. But the question is, do I install it inline with an existing Shower Trap, or do I just use the HepVo valve 'instead' of the trap?

Gripfil sounds like a good idea - has anyone tried using the 'wooden floor' tile adhesive for shower trays?

For a shower tray installation, would a HepVo valve be used instead of a shower trap or in conjunction with one?

Thanks! I'm hoping to replace the current floorboards with 18mm WBP Ply - Is it ok to build the frame at the same level as the current joists, and then ply on top of that to make it level with the rest of the floor? Am I right in assuming that whatever I use to bed it down (gripfill/tiling...

any help appreciated :D

Do a search - it's probably been covered many times before. The way I use solder rings is as follows: - Cut pipes using pipe cutter - Deburr pipe ends with a small file, making sure there is no 'lip' on the cut end of the pipe - Join pipework together with fitting(s) to make sure it all...

I've been doing a search on bedding a shower tray, and have come up with the following suggestions if I want the tray to sit as low down as possible on the floor (assuming I have enough of a gradient left for the trap/waste run). - Replace floorboards with 18mm WBP Ply, leaving hole for...

I was hoping to make the shower area a bit bigger than the 800x800 quadrant as it seems a bit tight. We should have got a bigger one before, but didn't think it would fit well, so i'm looking at any other options available. The wall is the correct size for the shower tray. It probably sounds...

We have an 800mm quadrant shower tray that we'll be installing. I wanted to ask if it's possible to make the useable area of the shower slightly bigger by offsetting a piece of timber on the bits of the tray that will go against the wall, and pieces of timber upwards for the shower door fixings...
