Ah ok thanks so I use compression elbows?

I've just plumbed in my rads with Hep2o and fixed the pipes in the wall exact for the rad. To keep it looking right I am using the supplied nickel plated 15mm brass pipes that match valves. These are pushed into the elbows coming out the wall. To fit the rad valves. My concern is I push the...

Right on que that's my next question. I would like to run the condensate drain to the external wall, which is about a 2.5metre run. Can i get away with 22mm as drainage? I see condensing boilers use this (21.5mm)

OK Fark!! We have an answer here, almost the same tumble dryer i have and look at that. Almost 4 times the power draw of a venter tumble dryer. Screenshot for those can't be bothered to watch whole thing and or youtube link below. Ok fck that im keeping my heatpump dryer!!

Thanks John as above i already have a 2yr old Samsung Heat Pump dryer. Mrs Speccy finds it hastle as it beeps regularly needing the condensor filter cleaning and water cartridge empying, and there's a question about how much vapour/humidity is being vented into the house. However if its...

Bit of a conundrum here. Im just kitting out our new utlility room for tumble dryer and washing machine. We currerntly have a 2 yeard old Samsung heatpump tumble dryer which has the big drawer we need to empty of water. Now we were going to add a vent in the studwall for a vented dryer...

Omg no there's a reason why it's reduced. Id like to see it split one decent sized log.

Ok it arrived. Wow blows the **** out of my previous Maul. Slightly heavier but effortless drive through some heavy stuff, and more importantly way less shock through the shaft when chopping. May cost 3 times more but this feels like a Rolls Royce in comparison.

Ok im so excited my Fiskars Logging Maul is arriving today. Will share some pics when it arrives and my thoughts on how it compares to my oldish Maul which ive gone through two of them now, both times the fibre shaft splintered near the head. Ok maybe my aim has been a bit crap as times but...

Oh this is an interesting thread, indeed my local TP and Jewsons a constant battle. As noted Selco are on the whole better but as people have mentioned here it's a constant ball ache.. Every fcking thing i want to order i first have to check the retail price on say wickes for example. Then...

I am glad i started this thread now, always fascinates me other peoples experience here and your very well observed opinions on chopping wood. I will actually share mine, as i too have spent the last 5 years now chopping wood for our home. The driver of course is for 'money saving' on oil as our...

OK for anyone interested i tracked down one of these, im very excited about recieving it actually. https://www.fiskars.com/en-gb/building-fixing/products/striking-and-demolition-tools/isocore-builders-axe-xxl-8-lb-36-1020220

Not really just what was available at screwfix at the time. No way can i just replace as the fibre shaft has snapped with all the fibre still sealed in the head. Im not up for attempting to source a shaft to fix the head etc.

Ive gone through two Roughneck Splitting Mauls (8lb) now, both times the head has snapped off from the fibre shaft. Im chopping some pretty large diamter logs 40-50cm . Im thinking about a Fiskars instead? Was looking at this one anyone used or recommend...

I bought Facom Britool and Snapon as a young lad many years back all lasted me very well. I sadly lost my 1/4 drive Facom ratchet which i love more than all of my tools. Sigh. Anyway yes Facom were good and i think still seem v good quality, as someone mentioned not quite as nice finish as some...

Got some pipes to chop in was looking at one of these? Or should i just buy a chasing tool? https://dustarrest.com/products/angle-grinder-cutting-shroud-for-115-125mm-grinders

Madrab thanks for your thoughts. Unless I am mistaken prepping maincor ie tooling the end face for the connector and putting in the mechanical crimp is a piece of ****? Then pressure test of course. Easier somewhat than making sure a joint is completely clean and fluxed correctly for solder...

Hi all I have a 22mm feed in loft currently feeding Hep20. Friend of mine recommended I should use maincor where poss due to better reliable fittings. He has leant me his maincor compress tools. Thoughts? I'm not familiar with sizes but wanted to pickup from the current 15mm and if so run to...

Argh yes its a block n beam floor but we've just finished floor screed doh. Ill pocket that idea for next time though cheers!
