The Bosch Multi is the Dogs ********, get one, I bought mine a few months ago and have used it countless times on numerous different jobs! As Goldspoon said, if your are into DIY you will not regret getting one! If access is really tight, cut of with the multitool, and use a neadle file to...

Thanks, will test and let you know, what type and where should I be able to buy a magnet (have not bought one since I was at school!!!!!) Will the magnet stick to the blocked area or vice-a-versa? The house is plumbed a little strange to normal, the F&E tank is a long way from the cylinder...

Yes, sorry conventional vented system. Just to clarify, point 1, assume you mean the ball valve on the CWS feeding the cylinder? Point 2 could be a problem! When the venting happens it is quite a lot of water, but only for a short amount of time..so would not be able to check both points...

System problem where the safety vent pipe it litterally pouring water into the f&e...to make matters worse the overflow was incorrectly installed so the water cannot discharge quick enough, then the F&E is over flowing onto the nice new ceiling :shock: :shock: Have changed the overflow to...

Hi Guys, Is there any reason I can't fit a bath/shower mixer tap with the house being fed with a combi? Both hot and cold feeds to bath are in 22mm Assume this would be OK but just wanted to check!!!!!

Buy a 'basin mate' from your local merchants, about 2 quid, they are the dogs............ One of these http://www.toolstation.com/?r=f&feature=37534 Will not have any problem with leaks etc and no need for silicone etc...

Hi Guys, Need to fit a concealed shower valve, and have two questions. Its a fixed head type with all the pipework being hidden and its going into a 'false' stud wall, which is about 9" forward from the original wall! Cant move the false wall back, so got to work with what I have got...

Sorry guys, any thoughts or advice with this one?

Hi, Need to fit a counter top basin, ridged type with 1 Tap hole, that will sit on a vanity unit, these is a plastic bit that goes onto the basin (same shape) to conceal any pipework... It was supposed to...but did not :twisted: come with a template for holes etc, they can not get this to...

Hi Guys, Have a concealed cistern, and for various reasons want to divert the overflow back into the flush pipe, Cant change the flush to one that facilitates internal overflow. Have seen a bracket/attachment in places, where the overflow comes out of the cistern as normal bends down but...

Thought that might be the reply, replacing with copper to the bathroom might not be to much hassle, but to the kitchen......thats a different story! Would this pipework be causing the dead leg? If so, can you explain how?

Hi Guys, Been bugging me for some time now, but I seem to have quite a 'dead leg' in my hot water system, has been like it ever since we owned the house, boiler and cylinder are new (about 2 months) Hot water is toastie hot when it gets to the taps, but seems to take an age to get...

namsag, I stand corrected, read the original post wrong!

Assume that the pipework is 22mm copper, use a 22mm isolation valve, 3/4 is the thread size :shock:

Hi Guys, As in title need to do this as the anes that are in are leaking beyond repair even though they are only a few years old, massive groove out of tap face! Have got a replacement for this exactly the same, at great expense! Due to the bath being in a really S*** place with the tap...

salamander do pumps that are continuous rated, therefore would work, they are not basic shower pumps, so not the 15 on 60 off situation

The button is not stuck and freely moves in and out, just does not seem to be doing anything, its does not appear to be loose either! It seems that its simply not creating a build up of air to push the flush down, have pumped the button whilst feeling around the tube and cannot feel any air...

Any thoughts on this one guys? Really could do with some advice on this...............

Seco, just curious, does the remote part have a pump then to increase flow? If it has a pump, how come you dont need a flange, or cant it pull air down? Assume these require wiring to electrics? So do you then need a certified spark? Only asking as would be interested in how these work...

Are you talking about end feed/compression type connectors, or flexi? Doubt changing an end feed type would make any differnence, the poor flow is due to the head of water.
