They do fit in each other and sod the Tommy bar just use 8in adjustable on end after running up hand tight (or more leverage if undoing)

Argos were a godsend in my youth for various things I knew I'd only use once and that I could return in 'unused' condition!

I bought one of these once. Left the label on, tightened my taps and took it back for a refund. Feck 'em! https://www.diy.com/departments/rothenberger-32mm-telescopic-basin-wrench/38794_BQ.prd

I may still purchase the Rothenbergers ones, apparently they can fit inside each other to extend the length, my other ones cannot.

Rothenberger sell 2 different ones (confusing), and it’ll probably be the one with 3 box spanners in it. As long as you now have the correct one.

...I already had two sets of box spanners but the nut was smaller than any that I have come across before. I wasn't sure that either the Rothenberger or Monument sets sold at Screwfix would have been small enough. As I said, I should have got the Toolstation ones. On reflection, I should have...

...I wanted a box spanner that would accommodate (read: be wide enough to slide over) the threaded bolt and then reach the nut. IMO, any box spanner that can't do that isn't worth owning. The Toolstation ones can do that, the Rothenbergers can. Most can, but not the Kingfisher/Screwfix ones.

Hi all, got leak in 15mm mains water pipe close to incoming valve into house. It's in a very confined space. I clamped it with rothenberger clamp for temporary fix What is deemed to be the best brand of push fit copper or plastic fixings please? I'm thinking of cutting out elbow and replacing...

...did want to use compression fittings and clean the chrome off, use an abrasive strip like Screwfix 2843K then "polish" with a scouring pad type material like Rothenberger Rovlies. 3. I'd use the same method for soldering, where you have to clean the chrome off, but leave out the polishing stage.

...and grit out so it is nice and clean down there. Rubber gloves would be a good idea. You may cut or graze your hand and the water may be very unhygienic. A stopcock key can be very useful. This one fits several sizes. https://www.screwfix.com/p/rothenberger-universal-stopcock-key-920mm/71652

...Can I jsut check please, as all the keys I have come across are of the square socket type, such as this one at Screwfix: https://www.screwfix.com/p/rothenberger-4-way-radiator-services-cabinet-key/84379 Where as the Pegler valve seems to a partially circular end with a groove for the spine...

I used one of those so I guess no need to use sand paper or whatever to get rid of burr

...end plastic piece in towards the fitting, hold it in and pull the pipe out. For copper, cut the pipe with one of these: https://www.toolstation.com/rothenberger-pipeslice-tube-cutter/p50182 so there is no burr. Scratched or hacked copper will damage the seal in the fitting and it leak forever.

It's something you can measure now yourself, https://www.screwfix.com/p/rothenberger-water-pressure-test-gauge-10bar/53626 This will be useful for future tests too

They ran for 2h a Rothenberger pump with acid through the flow/return of the boiler.. quite a bit of yellowish limescale came out. Thing had crazy pressure. I can't imagine anything else being left in the heat exchanger or boiler after that.... but apparently still calcified. Viessmann said...

Hello So I’ve plumbed a new bathroom in 15mm copper and Speedfit and wanted to test it out…. I’ve got a Rothenberger RP30 and done a wet test at 5bar for 24hrs. All seemed good. Then I increased it to 10 bar pressure for the second 24hrs and the next morning found loads of small weeps...

Thanks for this. I do have a compressor actually so that could be an option. So are you saying that if it survives pressurising to 3 bar without leaks you'd then bury it? I just need to work out how to connect the compressor to the end of the pipe.

I definitely would not. Philmac fittings are just the job but you can cap one end then fill with water & test. Rothenberger do a pressure pump with a guage just for this job, sure you must be able to hire one? You fill the tray with water & hand pump it through the pipe until your pressure...

Rothenberger freeze Pak ,will give you around 20 mins work time. Yes ,will freeze if tap drips. I suggest you buy a stopcock . Freeze pipe ,cut pipe with pipe slice ,fit stopcock. You can then work above the stopcock at your leisure to fit garden tap.

Hi, I use the rothenberger superfire 2 with hose and mapp gas as that’s the gas the hose came with. Now it’s almost run out I have bought propane. If I am half way through soldering and the mapp runs out, can I switch straight to the propane as long as I empty the hose first? Just want to check...
