Cut where the arrow is as it looks like a solvent branch ,get a new bossed branch ,slip coupler then the 92.5deg branch ?

Thanks mate , the drop from the horizontal pipe to the branch is around 30mm . I was hoping that the 2.5 Deg from 90 would help gain a bit of height going through the cavity etc then I could use an offset pan connection ? Or should I bite the bullet and cut the whole section out ?

Thanks mate , I was worried about the height . There is virtually no fall on the horizontal run but I know what you mean , the stack has 4 wastes bossed into it and it's a bit if a mess . The uppers bossed section is now redundant as I e got rid of the wall hung sinks inside . I may be better...

The branch seems quite close , I think I'll be able to get it to fit ,it's just that the socket will be inside the wall a bit . I just didn't know if this was best practice . Thanks

Thanks , I was looking at exactly what you've shared in the link . My only concern is that the joint on the coupling would be inside the wall where my toilet pipe inserts into it . My hole through the cavity would have to be a bit bigger than standard if that makes sense ? Thanks

Hi , I'm currently re doing our ensuite and need toove the toilet a few meters on the existing external wall . At the moment the soil waste exits the wall and there is a 90 Deg bend and this falls down into the stack . Where we want to move the toilet is literally dead in line with the...

I could probably get them pretty near the stack before I connected them . Do you think that will make it any better ? Thanks for replying

Hi , I'm redoing our ensuite and I have had to strengthen all the joists with ply before even thinking about the plumbing side of things . The old waste pipes were located through 60mm holes drilled through every joist the whole length of the room .I have fixed the joist and now want to run my...

Hi , Has anyone installed a shower and shower niche using the plastic shower wall panels ? I can see you can buy the preformed niches ,I'm just wondering how you get the seal if you clad over the niche flange with the plastic panels . Thanks

Hi , We have recently moved into a large property and have noticed that the cold water flow is poor . Our system is a pressurised cylinder with an expansion vessel and a system boiler . If the cold tap is running and you flush a toilet the tap almost stops . The hot tap has pretty decent...

That's exactly what they've done , crown down . There is a bit if spring hence why I suggested ply to stop it . I'd put strutting across the middle to stiffen it all up

Yeah , I thought that would be the case . I might phone my local authority and ask for advice ,maybe worth spending a bit of money . There's no way I could rip them out ,I'm looking at a repair really . Even running steel plates on the sides of each joist sound viable . Thanks for your input

Cheers , I won't be screwing into the edges of the ply ,I'll be screwing into the existing joist that the ply sandwiches . I intended to screw and glue Barton's ontop off the existing joists the plane the batons down to meet the ply at the corrected level . I'm just digging out the drawings now...

Hi , thanks for the replies . I have thought about going down the legal route but I'm pretty sure this will just end up in a long drawn out battle . Unfortunately replacing all the joists with 2 inch bigger joist is no go . The costs involved ,dropping ceilings etc would very high . I've been...

Hi , We have recently moved into a large property (3000 square foot ) and it has 2 X double extensions on it . Both of the extended parts of the house have large steel beams supporting the 1st floor joists . The rear extension has an open plan kitchen with a approx 7m steal RSJ...

I can't see any 2 port valve . I have booked a local heating engineer to do a boiler and cylinder service . We have no previous history for the installation just a receipt from British gas fitting it years ago . Best let a professional check it over . Thanks

ill have a look when i get back . Thanks

Hi , the cylinder says on it that it is a mains pressure domestic hot water cylinder . The actuator on the valve is a Drayton MA1 mid pos actuator . I have just noticed on the cylinder and it does say it should be serviced every year . Are you saying that the set up is incorrect regarding the...

Hi , thanks for replying . The system was drained so two vertical rads could be added in a new extension . As a lot of water was drained off i just thought it would need inhibitor ? The pump does turn off when the hot water is switched off so it looks like it is operating correctly then . I was...

Hi , I have recently fitted a dual channel hive to my system and it seems to be working fine . The system has a 40 cdi Worcester conventional boiler a hot water cylinder and a pressure vessel . There is a small tank in the loft , about 16 inch square with a ball cock in it. I have attached a pic...
