I fitted a Victoria Plumb bath with one of these pop up wastes the other day. If you use a Mcalpine bath trap you'll be fine. They are the best IMO. Just make sure when you put it all together that its seated correctly on the waste.

Dont put ptfe on the thread. You've probably overtightened it. It doesn't need to be rivven up. What make of trap did you use? If its a cheapy, throw it away and buy a Mcalpine one. Ensure its sitting square in the waste outlet and tighten up. The nut should wind on smoothly. HTH.

100% agree with Hugh. If its clay / saltglaze then the outlet will be at the bottom of the pot to form a trap. If you havent got any drain gauntlets then put a couple of bin bags over your arm to have a feel around.

The moral of this story is - check your pockets! £1.22 in change and a childs "fuzzy felt" removed and we are back working. Thanks.

Thanks rocks1, so it just sits inside the hose? Its sat well inside, under the rubber collar?

Hi i have an indesit wib 111 that will not drain. It is coming up with an led fault code. After a bit of searching i find this oko ball in the hose between the drum and pump. I cant find any blockages anywhere. Pump impellor is turning but drum stays full of water. Would it be detrimental to...

Yes drain and replace, im sure the linea has built in fill point underneath on right hand side ? is this what you mean?

Hot water side on an Apollo??

Thanks rocks1 is it an easy fix?

Hi everyone i could do with some advice on my dryer. The door will not engage when i try to close it. The catch on the door is intact. It seems that the mechanism is stuck on as it runs with the door open. Does it need a new part? Thanks Darren

I dont know about Gastec mate. Have you considered going on dedicated manufacturers courses? You would gain experience on specific models rather than a generic overview.

If you are comfortable using a multimeter and understand components then you probably wouldnt gain much from it. The advanced course comes round evey so often but you have to do the basic courses to get on it.

There are 3 parts to it. Basic Electrics - covers basic principles of electricity, multimeter use, dead testing and testing components. Combi Appreciation - covers components found in boilers, different types and how they work. Fault Finding - Putting the first and second courses into...

Some boiler manufacturers have products to overcome this problem. It enables the PRV to be located elsewhere so it can discharge above ground. Im certain that Baxi do one. Not sure about Glow worm. The installer may be able to find out.

Altech = Graham own brand valves.

Gives the symptoms of a blocked plate.

Is the cold supply to the tap on mains? Some mixers need equal supply pressures to work correctly. Do you have the M.I 's? is it suitable for low (gravity) supply?

Was pressure good before you changed the tap? could be air locked?

If its giving fault codes im guessing its a linea / syntesi? You ll have to drain the boiler and may need new o rings. Quite an involved job, especially on new years eve!!!

So , on c/h demand it gets to ignition stage? Can you see electrodes sparking?
