    WC waste

    I think a 45deg bend on the grey with the 90mm adapter on it and then angle the frames soil pipe down @ ~ 45 deg and trim both pipes to fit. Given the rise on the grey pipe it may not be quite 45deg but should be close enough to fit by the looks of it.

    Not Getting Hot Enough!

    That could simply be down to a flow issue, where were you getting the temps from? There isn't a flow sensor on these, rather a flow temp sensor so they don't monitor the actual flow, only the temps. If it was a circulation issue I would expect the boiler to reach max or set temp well before the...

    Not Getting Hot Enough!

    Took the words right out of my mouth :) @Nelly B - as suggested - if any of the copper pipework attracts a magnet then that's an issue and can certainly cause circulation problems and create the problems you are experiencing, hence the open vent question. As a starting point I would run an...

    550mm basin wall hung

    Yeah but there are 3 types of breeze block, low, med and high density - or concrete bricks - all are used in the building trade. Low/med density bricks for internal and external walls non or low load bearing. High density blocks for load bearing/structural work. It's usually easy to know...

    Bath tap issue

    Cheaper deck mixers are always a challenge, the rubber seal never seems to be thick enough, nor does it seem to cover the entire footprint of the tap. Belt and braces would call for a little film of silicone either side of the seal just to give it a hand. Also important to ensure that the rubber...

    Cleaning / servicing a 3 way valve.

    we know thanks - @denso13 had already pointed that out. It was in response to slowdown response, hence the forum rule not to resurrect old threads, though I should know better and check

    Replacing tiled shower floor with shower tray

    If the tile backer board is cementitious and at least 12mm thick, minus insulation, then that should be strong enough, to minimise deflection. if that was straight down onto the ply though then there would probably be movement in the insulation when weight was applied 2 primary reasons why the...

    550mm basin wall hung

    As long as it's at least medium density, light density would struggle to hold that if any weight was applied IMO.

    shallow bath waste washer

    As long as the washer is large enough so the edge of the bath waste sits on it so when it's tightened it forms the seal then that'll be large enough. If the bath waste has a sharp edge then don't overtighten the nut so it cuts into the sealing washer or file the edge flat, that'll be easy as the...

    Cleaning / servicing a 3 way valve.

    Typically 3 way valves do wear out but more so the motors/switches but the valves themselves tend to last for quite a long time, if it's getting sticky though then it'll probably be the spindle that is getting worn out. Lubricating will work for a time but eventually it will just go back to the...

    shallow bath waste washer

    It will be a flat washer with that flat face on the inside of the trap, the washer linked to above is more for say a McAlpine 11/2" bsp sealing nut with a recess that the seal sits in or a trap that has a raised shank and ridged shoulder that fits inside the bath waste up to the shoulder and the...

    Toilet handle not level

    If the syphon is acting up/return sticking etc then TBH it's time to replace it, it's worked hard all it's life and doesn't owe anyone anything. You can get replacement diaphragms and springs but TBH it isn't really worth it. Appreciate it's a pain to replace a syphon as it's usually the...

    Down pipe

    Certainly get a plumber, experienced in soil stack work, in first. They should be able to assess what all may be needed and suggest if other resources may also be needed to do any groundworks etc

    Not Getting Hot Enough!

    Is the system sealed or open vent? If the flow is only reaching 64degC on max then it's not an overheat causing it to cycle, if that was the case then it wouldn't normally run for ages, usually an overheat occurs relatively quickly on a boiler that can't get rid of it's heat. With this one it...

    take the plastic arm off the lever and try moving the handle around the square in the plastic arm by a 1/4 turn

    Not Getting Hot Enough!

    ?? What size is the pipework? 22mm > 15mm or 22mm>10mm Output tempt on the flow pipe under the boiler if boiler on max? How long is the run to the HW cylinder? Certainly sounds like a circulation issue.
