The pipe covers move no problem but the pipes won't budge at all. Are these the parts I need if I were to shorten them. Also is there a easy way to cut through the pipe? I've got one of these but Coupler Inserts Key Pipe cutters

Ive changed the pipe so it goes straight up then into a 90, agree the pipes sticking out are a bit of a nuisance, especially the cold which seems to be Inline with the waste trap. I take it I'd have to cut the plasterboard to feed them back if they even had the space? The current tap tails are...

They don't seem to budge.

Looks better and hopefully I can use shorter tap tails now

I'll nip Toolstation today but knowing my luck ill install them iso valves and then they'll be leaking so will need to go screwfix to buy the stem elbows :D

I'll have another go later it's not welded just wanted to check so so thing like this would be better? Yes those iso valves would be better hopefully screwfix do the as that's nearer. It's just when I had the smaller iso's on it was leaking more. The only problem with changing them is...

Just got to work out how much pipe I need to cut to put in between the 45s I think it's around 55cm,but does this look ok? With fitting the tap tails do I need these Tap tail adaptors

So I'm starting this today for some reason this makes me so nervous about messing it up. The bottom pipe seems quite stable enough that it won't move. I'm just going to set it up without using the glue to behind with. I've used a 45 to go back to the wall then a tiny offcut of pipe to connect...

The amount of times I've looked at them keys ‍:LOL:. I've fixed the leak just a little tighten and it's fine I wasn't sure how much to bleed the radiator it comes out a little hole near the top but the water seems clear

Also is there a reason that both ends are different?

I've bleed the radiator a little I think I'm doing it correct turn this with a flat head screwdriver and drained into bowl water looks clear. Wish I'd left it alone now since bleeding it's had a small drip again from the connector? I've still not started the plumbing

Thanks, yes that's one of the options I've read about.

I've got 2 spare pieces but I really want to get it right first time..

Any advice? I've got a 32mm hole saw & arbor. I've read all sorts cutting in reverse to start with, to using the arbor hallway then switching to the other side, to clamping another board underneath. Hopefully somebody has solved this and could help.

I'd rather leave that alone I'm already nervous about trying to sort the plumbing out. I'm probably going to wrap tape round the bottom and it shouldn't drop through although it'll be interesting when trying to connect to it.

Probably a daft question but is it best to work up with the plumbing or work down from the trap?

Looking good so far. I'm not looking forward to the next bit sorting out the pipe. I've a little play with the existing pipe I can move it around and up a little, should this be something I fill? There's a slight opening.

Is it worth wrapping ptfe tape around the olive then a little joint compound or is that abit overkill?

I'll get some from screwfix my 2nd home atm. Does it matter using white ptfe rather than gas ptfe? I can pick a single white ptfe tape up or I'll have to order 10 of the gas PTFE tape.

Well the water pressure was turned down ive increased it now and the drips a little faster but it's not much I've got some loctite 55 ptfe tape.
