Universal constants... I like that phrase. I'll have a look at McAlpines website. Thanks for that Dan.

I thought the same Dan but it doesn't pass the missus aesthetic test. I wondered if there was a trap that could be easily cleaned from above after installation of the tray. I wont be able to access the underneath when it is installed. Thanks

Hi, What is the best type of trap to fit for hair. The females of the house are always (partially) blocking the shower trap even though it is a fast flow low profile type. I'm going to be fitting a low profile tray and I'm worried it might overflow. Any advice appreciated. Thanks Richard

Hi I'm after some Redland 52 tiles. They apparently come in more than one colour which is a pain. Mine are a kind of dirty brown. Anyone know of any availability in the Midlands/Warwickshire. I'm also after some 17"x10" half round ridge tiles. Any ideas? Thanks Richard

Thanks again Dan.

Yeah. I wish id asked the question a month ago because I just rerouted the mains in 15mm :roll: nearly used 22 off the 25mm mdpe pipe but its done now and would be a real hassle to move it. My 18l pm was from the kitchen tap which takes quite a tortuous route so i'm hoping if I test it near the...

Hi Dan, If I were replacing the pipework, is there much point in putting in 22mm or does 15mm suffice? Thanks Richard

Hi, I've been looking at the plumbing in my bathroom and in particular the bath filler. I can see that the hot water supply from the boiler is in 15mm but the hot water supply to the bath filler is in 22mm. Is there any point to this? Surely the flow is restricted by the 15mm at the boiler...

Dont worry. I was being lazy. 30mins on google finds a solution.

Hi, Can anybody point me to a 1000x800 left handed offset quadrant shower tray with the waste in either of the right angles. That is on the right hand side. I have taken a lot of time moving a soil so that i can drain the tray without a pump but i need to stay within 400mm of the corner i.e...

My current boiler is an Ariston Genus 27. It has in built hot water storage so isnt that a good halfway house? Shower does tend to run cooler when the storage is used up though.

i'm starting to see a flaw in my thinking here. If a combi is not the answer for our needs than what are the alternatives?

Dan, I'm thinking that the 40kw is too much for the heating and so was trying to understand if the engineer was sizing the boiler for the showers. http://www.idhee.org.uk/ says I need 23kw. My current boiler is 30kw and struggles to keep up for a shower in the colder months when running at...

Hmm. Don't know. What would be standard? We don't want power showers.

I did. Flow rate is 4 gals or 18l per min.

Hi, I'm trying to understand the relationship between flow rate and the capability of a boiler to heat the water. I have a flow rate of approx. 4 gal per min and two showers. If the showers were both in operation together how many kw are required to heat the water to 40 degrees. As Johnny Ball...

You must've seen the ad. Johnny Ball "Let me do the maths"... http://www.help-link.co.uk/ :) Agile. Just saw your post. It needs upgrading from 22mm to 28mm but it is an easy run of approx 10-15 metres.

Acknowledge mutual appreciation. Won't go to Balls for a boiler but the other alterations may take precedence. Maybe revisit in a month or two. Thanks for the input and the entertainment. :D

I might think you are calling me skint and stupid Dan. The reality is that i'm just tight but guessing you'd struggle to correctly price a job in my field of expertise too. Horses for courses and all that. :D

So do you think Johnny Ball is onto something Dan :) :)
