Would I need olives at all? The tails are connected to an isolation valve using compression fittings, thus olives, then onto 15mm copper pipes. But if I am reusing the tails I would not even have to remove them from the isolation valves?

I am going to change the monobloc tap in a washbasin. It has flexible tap tails connecting it to to the water supply. Do I need to buy new tap tails in addition to the new tap or can I unscrew the tap tails from the old tap and reuse them onto the new?

In other words, one par of big tap tails for the bathroom and one small for the kitchen? The 3/4" BSP seems to be for 22mm pipes most of them...

hey guys, A little bit of help on my first question too? thanks. Picture/product link posted earlier. I'll post again then: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281847931191?euid=9abb78ca7a234ffbb5740dd7940acd36&cp=1

http://www.judgeelectrical.co.uk/images/central-heating/thermostatic-radiator-valve-2.jpg Turning this upside down? It will look very odd, especially since it has the TRV there, but it may be just the right solution! So having the radiator valve upside down wouldn't affect its thermostatic...

Let's try this: ebay.co.uk/itm/281847931191?euid=9abb78ca7a234ffbb5740dd7940acd36&cp=1 Just remove extra space

No space for any fittings. What my first question: would I need a bigger tap tail for the bathroom?

I doubt copper pipes would bent by 180 degrees. The correct way to do this would be to move the radiator further to the side to give more space for the pipes and fitting.

I will need to change shower bath mixer tap and kitchen mixer tap. Both connect to 15 mm pipes. I have bought the shower mixer already but not the kitchen tap. The connection to the shower mixer seems very large and has threads. I could post a link t o the product (on ebay) if I'm allowed but...

You should get one...

Newboy - are you a fitter, "kitchen consultant", designer?

post edited for you.

I assume people do their research and then buy. Do you use the internet at all for researching or just visit shops? I'm finding these sites rubbish, with very little information. How long until you make your purchase? Clarification in case the above is not clear: When you decide to buy a...

It's amazing how some so-called professionals can be stupid or plain lazy. I had an electrician fit a bathroom fan with duct in the loft. When I told him I couldn't see any holes in the soffit from outside, he said the duct terminated in the eaves and that's how it should be, that he had...

Must have been a blockage as I left the valves not fully opened and the heating system filled up.

It got fixed by itself in the end. I left the filling loop slightly opened, went to bed and was woken up at 1 am by the mother in law telling me that the pipe was leaking. It turns out that the boiler had filling the central heating system to a pressure of around 3 bars. So either it takes...

I emptied all the water from the radiators and afterwards the boiler gave me a low pressure error. I opened the filling loop to fill up the radiators again but nothing happened. Mains water was on, water was going through the boiler (opened hot water tap) but it seemed no water at all went...

Nothing to do with price. If I'm going to use something a lot, I'm happy to pay what I need. I just don't want to buy something that won't get used and take space. I can only see one link having been mentioned here so far....

[/url] Duh, I never knew about that. I wonder if it's true though. I would think both sides of the spanner apply the same pressure, but in opposite directions?

beg, borrow, steal? I didn't say I didn't want to buy tools otherwise I wouldn't have started this thread. I don't want to buy what I already have. And if some fit, some don't, I may be back to square one with an open spanner that does not fit.
