Thanks all, Yes I am talking about the boiler condense pipe. I had the kitchen ripped out, replastered etc and the condense pipe was originally attached to the sink trap along with a washing machine. I'm now attaching these back along with a dishwasher. What's is the correct way to run the...

Hi all, This should be an easy one for a pro. I need to connect the washing machine, dishwasher and boiler overflow waste pipes to a kitchen sink trap. All the off the shelf traps seem to have a double connection only. How would I go about getting three in? Cheers Steve

That worked a treat! Really appreciate the help. Cheers Steve

Sorry I didn't answer your question. 100% sure that they aren't switched anywhere else at present. I would have thought that they have always been on one switch too, as the room was built as a single kitchen/diner and hasn't been opened up. Also there is only one door into the kitchen/diner, so...

Great thanks. I'll try in daylight tomorrow as it's difficult to see under the lamplight I have at the mo! I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers

I'll have to pick up my sisters digicam tomorrow for pics if this will help clarify.

Thanks Securespark. I don't have a multimeter, I'll pick one up tomorrow. But I've lifted a few boards upstairs and the 3 core is going directly to the kitchen light and I've identified the cable to the dining room light so the other must be the feed. They are all disconnected and there...

I don't know, the plasterer removed it!

This is the one with letters on!

Hi all, Just to update. I got some Philmac fittings and they work a treat. BSS, PTS, Plumbase and Plumbcentre were useless. Greens kept some and were helpful but the winner was City Irrigation in Bromley. Peter (or Paul), I've forgotten now, was really useful and know pretty much everything...

Not sure if my diagram is visible, I think I added it but let me know if you can't see it and I'll try again!

Hi I've read the wiring diagram thread and tried a few variations but I'm still puzzled. I have a kitchen/dining room as one room with one light fitting over each area. Currently one switch turns these lights on and off. I would like to replace this one switch for a 2 switch plate and have...

Cheers, I'll have a ring around in the morning and update the thread tomorrow if succesful.

I watched the video and they say that they are fine for steel, I suppose only time will tell .... the voice over guy had a very confident tone to his voice do I'll trust him! Dan: Where do you go to get your Philmac fittings?

Those Philmac double ended repair joiners look the part. I'll take a length of the steel and 22mm copper to PTS tomorrow and have a play around. Hopefully they stock them; it would save me a hell of a lot of time and money and the missus might cheer up.

Cheers guys. If these primo fit couplings are designed for mains pressure will they not be fine for the pressure generated from my tank, which I'm assuming is considerably less?

Thanks Dan. Just nipped into a Plumbcentre and they'd never heard of Primofit!! Muppets. I have a Plumb base and a PTS nearby which I'll try also. Otherwise it looks like getting in a pro. Confidence and ignorance in equal measure usually gets me by!

Hi all, I'm having a 'mare and would appreciate some advice. I had a problem with my cold water feed from the tank and traced it to a dodgy stopcock just below my tank. The stopcock was part of the vertical steel (i assume) pipe that ran from the tank and it has threaded joins. I cut it...

Great thanks, I'll have a look this evening and add an update.
