I am having serious doubts about the quality of my plumbing joints in my present DIY pipework with end feed joints. The solder is not flowing evenly round the joint and appears to be "charred" in places.. Copper is clean and fluxed. I can only think it is because I am using butane in the...

...enough shoulder to solder a joint on the pipe will stick out some 50mm from the wall. I could stick a 90 degree elbow on the end but thats what I want to avoid. Any neat solutions? I'm using a rothenburger multi bender and following the instructions so I presume the shoulder is normal?

...seen a makita at around £240+ (dedicated diamond core drill but would prefer an all rounder if I can get away with it?) and a set of rothenburger bits at around £100+ (any better buys out there) also can anyone tell me why dimond core drills are that much more expensive where the extra...

But then it wouldn't be a vented system. If the boiler gives a warning at 0.5 barg and cutoff at 0.3 barg, it would be OK in a typical 2-storey house with the header tank in the loft and the boiler on the ground floor - likely over 5m head, but might need to elevate the tank. If not it might...

I had in mind something a bit bigger than that, a Rothenburger with map gas, but likely that might do it - depending on the burn time it can manage.

...work is a bit slow at the mo (waiting for information/parts) so I have been PAT testing most of the week. Yesterday I PAT failed a Rothenburger pipe threading machine (circa several £k) and ended up stripping it down to remove the motor so I can clean all the gunk out of the windings, took...

...available so must have been a poor product (based on the reviews) also dependant on a sound electrical supply. So, read also about the rothenburger RoFrost with co2 kit but seems a lot of these suppliers/products are no longer available... FreezeMaster etc! So, is the throw away cans but...

SGM. That is the reverse. It takes a Rothenburger burner onto a Primus (Sievert) 2000 bottle. But getting there I suppose. I want to take a Sievert burner onto a disposable gas cylinder. I have one of these with red knobs, which fits onto a Primus (Sievert) 2000 bottle: I need it to...

I recently bought a rothenburger one thinking it would be the dogs, but its ok. My biggest gripe with it is the flame "spreads" quite a bit even on low flame, which makes tight spaces close to flammables etc a little tricky. I have an auto ignitor that I got from BG which is better but plays up...

...What theory would that be? :? If you're serious about forcing the water to go downstairs, why haven't you got ALL upstairs rad valves completely completely COMPLETELY shut? :shock: Ah, the old 'hoping for the best' trick. I think Rothenburger actually sell a specialist tool for this now.

I'm trying to find the job market, seems to have gone missing, oh well hey ho.

Thanks a lot for this. I think you're right. I should have taken this photo when I asked the question... If you are correct about the tool I need, will the Monument Grip Slotted 2 Step tool fit onto my own rachet handle or would I need to purchase a special handle for it? Only it's much...

...make sure that it is an actual hex inside... The old valves usually have 2 nibs and for that you'll need a slotted key/wrench such as the Rothenburger radiator wrench or maybe one of these... https://monumenthandtools.co.uk/monument-grip-slotted-2-step-16mm-22mm-hex-radiator-valve-tool-mon4516y

...van then , we made him feel sorry for us very frugal living ,we were very pitiful (no stringfellows that week )baked beans heated with rothenburger an we chirped about how "Tebbit was right, on your Bike etc ", he left us an accepted our returns lol points on working down London...

...last year and after a short while noticed a pong in upstairs bathroom followed by toilet backing up every few weeks. I unblock it with a rothenburger plunger. After unsealing the plinth I found that the waste is running perfectly horizontal and it’s been compounded by the fact that their are...

You need to buy a weir gauge to measure the flow rate and a wet pressure test gauge( monument or rothenburger) the gauge needs to be put as close to the mains incoming supply as possible, and you need to take about 5 different readings over the day. These have to be both standing and operating...

...and see the obvious correlation. A tradesman who turns up with neat and tidy, clean organised van,good quality tools Fluke, Bahco, Rothenburger etc will automatically have a distinct advantage.I suppose it's a matter of personal integrity and respect for your job/trade... I have often...

I think you should save up and buy a torch. mud and grit may have buried the tap handle. A wet and dry vac will suck it out if you can poke at it to loosen it. Or a long kitchen spoon. A ladle may be to big to work with. I clean mine out every couple of years. Once you have exposed the...
