I replaced a 28mm thick panel last year (20mm spacebar and 4mm inner & outer glass). When cleaning the tape off the inside of the frame, it looked to have been 3mm. On fitting the new panel, I used new 3mm tape, but couldn't get the beads back in. Not an issue I've ever had before. So I ditched...

Cheers. I'm using an even bed not dob and dab. There is only a brief few seconds in the above video that show the floor area receiving the adhesive first. However, It's unclear what procedure he is using for the wall. I was curious as to why each manufacturer specifies applying adhesive to the...

As per question. Just about to put up some of these boards on a masonry wall. I'm applying a full bed of S1 tile adhesive across the whole wall (or boards) along with mechanical fixings as the wall is flat and level (no dot and dab). On some manufacturers boards they say put the adhesive on the...

It's in the bathroom of a 23 year old bungalow. Its giving me hell to the point that if I could throw a bathroom (that is the complete room) in the bin I would :(

A builder says it is bonding plaster, another says cement, the postman says it is a medieval cob wall, and Mrs Bucket down the road thinks its her lost cat. For the love of god, put Mrs Bucket out of her misery and tell me this is some kind of cement render. Pic attached

That should work quite well. Not sure what the length of the spigot is to go into the boss, but I could always add some the other side and insert the pipe & boss into the soil pipe as one unit.

I need to move this 32mm basin waste into a wall chase without having to dig up the concrete and rework the soil pipes (see pic) Ideal solution would be a 90 degree bend where the pipe exits the soil pipe boss; however, that arrangement would be higher than the floating floor. Can you get...

Edited and moved.

So far, so good. No pump over (as yet). Although flow was still fairly good, the image shows the state of the Air-sep and associated pipework. Now all replaced.

I've ripped out the air-sep and replaced much of the 22mm flow pipe and constructed a new close coupled cold feed / vent from two tees. I also removed all the elbows and replaced with pipe using radiused bends for better flow. Then I stuck mains water through the boiler via the short loop...

That does seem the logical solution. And yes, any replacement boiler will need addressing before 2025, or when the Gov make their mind up (oil boiler). I'm looking into buying a replacement next year to store away ready to install when my current one finally dies.

Sealing up is not an option. Mine only recently started to pump over since I drained the system and sucked all the sludge into the cold fill from the F&E. I cleaned and replaced some pipework which resolved much of the pumping over, but noted the air-sep was still partially blocked. Never had...

My air separator (Tower AIR22CF with cold feed) is blocked with magnetite, not an issue. A straightforward simple replacement along with some associated pipework to keep things new, shiny and clean, so I thought. I was looking at the specs Tower provide and note they state a minimum distance of...

Excellent :)

My main concern, is how do you drain the water / X400 out of the pipes below the rads. Wouldn't any X400 residue in those pipes affect the X100 going in afterwards ?

Had to replace / clean cold feed pipework due to a build up of magnetite from header tank through 15mm to 22mm tee. So, looking at giving the system 4-6 weeks of X400 before flushing then adding X100. However, I’m in a bungalow with all the pipework under a subfloor feeding five rads (except...

Excellent. I found plenty of info from Drayton, but not seen that one with the dimensions :)

Trying to gauge the approx difference in bore size. i.e was there some sort of difference .

I found a piece of 6mm round bar. It went inside one set fine, not the other. Bugger

I have two sets of flexi tap tails , both 8mm x 15mm. Yet on the same tap, there is more hot flow from one set than the other suggesting different bore sizes. I thought the bore size was fixed according to the 8, 10 or 12mm monobloc thread?
