What about using one of these? https://www.diy.com/departments/rothenberger-basin-wrench/139416_BQ.prd FWIW, I used one recently to fit new taps to my bath, bought it from B&Q, didn't remove the label and took it back for a refund. Cheeky, I know but I bought enough other stuff off of them. If...

The nut is brass, just crud no rust. https://www.screwfix.com/p/rothenberger-monoblock-tap-spanner-set/40102

I have a rothenberger superfire 2 torch, I was wondering what size tip you pros would recommend for 15mm pipework? The one that came on it seems a bit light an f18 afterburner!

Ah ,ok. Get a double ended one 3/4 one end 1/2 inch the other. Mines a rothenberg ,seven quid at screwfix. But be aware the nut sizes vary ,and may not fit yours . When i encounter that problem i use a flat piece of copper as a shim bent over the spanner ,on one flat of the hexagonal shape.

Can’t quite decide whether you doing this bit tongue in cheek or you really are deranged

...you use. Mine are as follows: Pliers: knipex water pump pliers. They always do the trick even in tight to reach places Pipe slice: Rothenberger, they've never let me down. Corded drill: Makita rotary hammer drill SDS+. I have to say this is the best drill I ever owned. Like knife through...

Yes. Hell yes. Utter crap as are most Rothenberger (FFS you can't even spell it) tools. The only exception being the torch heads as I said in the other thread. I have a grands worth of their pipe bending kit in my workshop and it is utter shyte. As are their pliers, pipe cutters and...

...other external wall and sorting out the hot and cold feeds for the basin and bat taps A lot tidier. Also pictured is my knock off rothenberger blow lamp. £30 and an absolute beast. It is not obvious in this picture, but the wall actually comes above the level of the window so you can't...

I use one of these https://www.screwfix.com/p/rothenberger-universal-stopcock-key-36/71652 It may be cheaper at a plumbers merchant It incorporates two sizes of crutch plus two sizes of square socket. Key for my outoor stop-cock 1 by JohnD posted 28 May 2008 at 9:31 PM Key for my outoor...

I did a load of compression fittings 10 years ago with no issues, did some las year and it was a nightmare!. I had some old 15mm pipe offcuts and the pipe was notably thicker (wall thicness) than the new pipe. I also think copper olives are better but not readily available bundled with the...

I would think it's a male thread on the elbow, so you would need to turn it clockwise as we look at it on the pic. Don't know how you did it, but what I meant about the open-end spanner is put it on the elbow so it hangs nearly straight down, parallel to the other spanner (can't think of a...

If you remove the other union nut (the one painted white) you can take the elbow right out, which will give access. If it's tight put an open-end spanner on the elbow to hold against yourself, otherwise you risk bending the short length of pipe between the elbow and the tap.

...I need to check the sizes, but would something like this be OK? https://www.screwfix.com/p/flexible-tap-connector-with-valve-15mm-x-x-300mm/3558g Can I just use a basic pipe cutter, something like this...

Thank you. So it's this one: https://www.screwfix.com/p/rothenberger-tap-backnut-spanner/27337 If I understand correctly, that slips over the thread and then up to the back nut. I don't think I'll be able to use that, because I can't move the incoming pipe out of the way to get the spanner...

...replace it, but just wanted to get the new taps on as a medium term solution. Is this the kind of thing? https://www.screwfix.com/p/rothenberger-monoblock-tap-spanner-set/40102 If so, the problem is that I can't move/rotate the incoming pipe, as it is just a fixed copper pipe, and so...

Rothenberg do a gel in a spray bottle that stops heat traveling up the pipe. I guess it absorbs the heat. Comes in handy sometimes too.

Rothenberge do a gel. It’s in a spray bottle and it prevents heat from traveling up pipework. I’m guessing the gel absorbs the heat. It does actually come in handy sometimes but for the life of me I can’t figure out why you would want to accomplish what you say.
