Interesting re broadband!

Could not have asked for a more concise and straightforward reply. Many thanks Jackrae, appreciated!

Refurbed a flat, and to avoid tenants running wires all over the place we ran a 2-pair phone cable under the floorboards. The idea is: An extension socket box just by where BT may enter the building and place the master socket; Connected via the two pair to a similar socket where the...

You are not obliged to tell me anything, least of all offer a reply that contributes nothing to anyone. Oh and you are now on my ignore list so no need to take this further, I won't see anything you post.

As above really. Quite handy and will have an experienced builder with me (or rather the other way round!) so would appreciate any pointers as to whether there are any tricks to doing these, well, even a step by step would not go amiss just in case. Have in the past fitted casement windows...

Thanks for the tips, the rad valve tail is worth bearing in mind just in case... and also the gas ptfe, I will try that out, sometimes I tire of endlessly winding the normal stuff!

Thanks, in fact I will probably order from bes.co.uk as their prices are very reasonable and nearest b&q is some distance away. I found 900s which will work fine.

That's much more reasonable, thanks. In short, therefore, connecting two flexis is not "done" and neither does a specific fitting exist for doing so. One question answered very well thanks. The second is connecting to the water heater. At this point in time I am considering using a 1/2 to...

I am not attempting to fit a washer onto a compression fitting. I am asking whether... oh why should I bother, it's all up there. :roll: As simply as I could put it.

I may be tempted to suggest that if one can not understand a question properly, then one may try calling... :roll: If I wanted a plumber I would not be on here, I think this site is about DIY, and may as well close down with that reasoning. Hoping any further replies don't waste bits and bytes.

I could not find them 900mm long with the included angle valve (service valve?)...

Still wondering if there exists anything to make a "proper" connection between two flexis, and whether there exist "proper" washers that will hold at the face beween the flexi "tap" end and the water heater outlets... :?

Potentially true :D However the joining two flexis option seems quicker for an idiot like me :lol: so do there exist solutions on these lines? PS actually the way the pipework is under the sink, doing it that way would mean having stiff pipes looking a lot like scaffolding in all...

OK here's the deal. I seem to have two problems - Fitted an undersink water heater. First problem. I don't manage to find flexi hoses that are long enough, so I connect two hoses together. (well 4 in total, two cold two hot) Both of these hoses are the type with a compression fitting one...
