Thanks for pointers. I have tried both plus couple of other parts places. Trouble is, nobody seems sure. Been told could be a Trevi, Monoport, Monolux, Monoblend....... Was hoping the forum would know for sure. Thanks D

Hi again. Having bit of trouble with my shower. I think cartridge has properly had it - started dripping but now very slack / loose. I suspect the only thing holding it together is the housing and will probably fall to bits when removed. I would like to be sure I have a cartridge that will...

Rob - yes it's a doughnut type of seal. It's not rubber though - looks like high density foam. It compresses down quite a lot. Thanks. D

Hi again - Have done a test fit of loo and new connector. Used a Mac8 Finn type short connector inside a 110mm adapter - see pics. Worked out my clearances and all seemed okay. Fitted up nice and tight on pan spigot (see pic through seat fixing hole). (Connector shows one fin through bottom of...

Ah Araldite - have used that plenty of times. Thanks D

Not come across that. Would you mind posting a link or trade name I could search by. I use Screwfix a fair bit - do they stock it. Thanks D

That's a good idea - do you mean something like the 2part putty for leak fixing ? I don't think there is a hole to be seen but it looks like an impact has deformed and broken the plastic. It has probably sprung back and closed up. Thanks D

Hi. Hoping for a bit more advice. Looking at advice of Denso13 and wondered about the long reach finned connector that reaches past the slip connector. Measuring up the depth and I noticed some damage in pipe from original fit (see pic). Would you advice I patch this up - fill it with...

I removed my loo - advice was spot on; 110mm push fit socket in the floor. The pan connection looks improvised - a standard WC connector cut off and solvent welded to 110mm pipe. I guess previous person also had same problem finding something that fitted. Also discovered large dollop of cement...

(Should have said - because the socket is concreted in floor and fixed, I only have about 2" gap between wall and socket and the rear of pan casing sits in this gap. The movement of pan in and out is limited to this distance - don't think I can use flex fit and slide into position after fitting...

Thanks for that. If I need to adjust the loo from back wall, could I fit a 90 degree push fit into push fit socket (in concrete). This would give me the connections on same plane ( horizontal) for a short straight like a Mac-1 (using the 4" sleeve). Thanks D

Thanks all for the pipe fitting Identification and 4" sleeve tip. My new loo is a close coupled back to wall jobbie (sorry - couldn't resist that). If I silicone the push-fit, the sleeve may help me lower the pan vertically onto the soil pipe. I could see getting the fins in would be tricky...

Thanks again. I have had a look on-line for non finned 90 degree connectors and there aren't many! The only branded one I could find is the Wc-con9 but that has a peculiar offset that will loose me some spacing and move me too far towards the back wall. I may look at the 4"sleeve suggestion...

Thanks for that. So it will have a seal - guess that will need replacing. Would I be better with a non finned connector. height is a premium as that push socket is already more than 100mm. D

Hi. Grateful of some advice before I start on new downstairs cloakroom. I am trying to size up the fittings (roughly) before I pull out old loo. What I am unsure of is what exactly do I have that is set in concrete floor. Visually, this'll looks like a slip type fitting which makes me wonder...

Ooooer - seems i have set a hare running. All interesting stuff but may take me a while to get head around [as they say]. Just to pick up a few points back up the thread. No - not fitting a boiler myself. Yes - would clean with DS40 as have used both DS40 and superfloc [i think was called]...

Thanks both for reply. Sounds like a good clean before removal would be worthwhile. Bit of a worry about pipework [gulp] - was hoping minimal plaster work. Thought small boiler would give the efficiency - didnt think would need larger rads. wonder if I should just turn TV up louder...

Hi – grateful of some plumbing advice. My boiler is due a change – its done well but it is old and noisy. I have always tried to keep system clean [DS40 + inhibitor] but it kettles from time to time so guess there is muck in there moving around. It is a 4 bed house system, circa 20yrs old...

Gasman Thats good news :-) not sure would be an option for me otherwise Can you explain why magnaclean say do not fit before the vent [not that I will be doing this - just to be clear] Cheers D

Hi all I would like to fit a magnaclean but am slightly unsure about locating in an open / vented system Have looked at magnaclean installation instructions and it recommends “not before vent” http://www.adeysolutions.co.uk/subprofessional.asp?id=248 Checked the forum [great forum]...
