    telescopic 32mm P trap

    Thanks Kev - got one at Plumb Centre. 'jobby - I do get a fair bit from screfix, but they don't list a 32mm adjustable P trap in their catalogue - and I couldn't see one on their website either. But thanks for answering.

    Fitting a bathroom suite

    Not hard really if you can apply yourself - just time consuming if you work as well. Lots of DIY info to show you how to do each unit. Also depends if you are stripping out everything and replumbing everything, or just replacing unit by unit using existing pipework. If you have lots of time...

    telescopic 32mm P trap

    Anyone know where I can get one from in uk(if order online) or N London area if shop/store? i know they make them cos I found polypipe.com showing a Nuflo trap. Can only find telescopic bottles in the stores - too fat to fit in a pedestal. Want to use existing waste pipe after fitting new...

    sink pedestal angle-grind?

    Anybody ever angle-ground a slot out of the bottom of a bathroom sink pedestal ? Is it possible without shattering it? My problem is in replacing an existing one. The new one fits about 3 cm closer to the wall at the base, but there is a tiled boxing hiding pipework all along the foot of the...

    Immersion tripping rcd

    What Malc was saying is that the cable itself might possibly be the cause. If you disconnect the wire at the immersion end, this 'fault' would stay on the cable run, so would trip the RCD - if that was the cause and not the immersion heater. Mind you it could also be a fault (stray wire...

    XBOX and BT BROADBAND

    It's ok now thanks - he solved his problem. Wasn't writing to DVD on Xbox (it hasn't got one) - he wanted to copy the game (iso) from the PC to his Xbox as he doesn't have a DVD Writer (I misunderstood what he was saying). Anyway - he says he has managed now with some effort, so I guess...

    XBOX and BT BROADBAND

    We have BT Broadband using BT Voyager 2000 wi-fi across three PCs - all works well. My son has an Xbox which he wants to connect to his PC in order to transfer files (games), but he hasn't been able to do this successfully. I think for example he wants to use transfer a game from his PC onto...

    Lighting Shocker !

    Then the earth was connected somewhere else in the house circuit to 'live' possibly. The earth is pretty common along ALL circuits regardless of switching off a particular one (pulled fuse, mcb off ...). Probably would have got the same shock on an earth somewhere else in the house.

    Extractor Fan...

    Fan size was 4 inch diameter. A little large to fit exactly in air brick hole, but only required this to be enlarged about half inch circular top and bottom - quite easy except for the slate lining. Was an LV100T model. (I cut the hole in two separate tiles with a tile saw)

    Extractor Fan...

    Having just finished installing my Xpelair SELV extractor (through an existing airbrick above the shower/bath), I can add some input. Fan was about £60, needed a roll of 1.5 Twin and Earth and a roll of Three and Earth from B&Q (found I had some T&E already, and had a lot left over) - cost...

    Shower Screen Seal

    As long as the seal is pressed TIGHTLY along the length of the bath it shouldn't leak - unless it is when you swing the screen open, when some water will run off. Just buy a new screen - can get nice ones quite cheap.

    Bubbles/sloshing in hot ware cylinder

    When I moved into my house in 1988 I had this same problem. Called in a plumber I had used in previous house and he fitted an air dissipation device toward the top of the pipe run (next to my hot tank). This cured the problem and I didn't have to bleed every couple of weeks. Basically from...

    shower extractor fan

    Searched here to find the answer to whether to wire my selv shower fan to the light circuit or to the electric shower - either has advantages and disadvantages. Found this discussion which almost answers me. However the wiring diagram supplied by your good self FWL :) does NOT answer the...
