If only I had the space in my airing cupboard!

The outer thread of the bush is 1" - using the female 1" socket will screw onto that and the inner is 3/4" so that will screw onto the top of cylinder. Will wait for it to arrive and see if I got the right item........

Hi, why not...? Is my only option to get another different flange?

[/url] Hi muggles, thanks for letting me know. If only I had planned everything before starting the works!

Hi mate, I bought a 1" X 3/4" Hexagon brass bush: The S Flange came with a female socket in the set. Hopefully I have all the right parts for the job. Have uploaded a couple of photos of the cylinder top so someone can verify it for sure.

Hi, I am fitting a Salamander CT75 shower pump. I have already created a dedicated cold feed from the attic and was about to get started on the S Flange fitting, when I realised that my hot water cylinder is 3/4" not 1" like the flange. I have been searching on-line for a reducer (?) as the...

Hi Tim, thank you for your previous response. When I do actually decide to start the floor tiling, I was going to get rid of the hardboard.

Hi Richard, this is the actual product: http://www.wickes.co.uk/structural-spruce-plywood/invt/110036/ I do not think it is exterior grade....? But does mention "If used externally then all faces and edges should be treated with an appropriate preserver to prolong lifespan"......... The...

Hi Tim, I shall be buying all my timber from local yards from now on as I have been so disappointed with the number of cracked or badly twisted timber. Also found the staff very rude over the phone! The joists were okay, though a bit mouldy. 50/50 solution of bleach and a lot of scrubbing...

I gutted my whole bathroom for a refit and that included removing the rotten floorboards and also adding noggins between the floor joists. I was meant to buy 18mm WBP, hired a van and went down to local Wickes only to find it was not in stock. So in a rush, I decided to go for the 18mm...

Hi, I am currently fitting a new bathroom and am unsure about the installation method for the acoustic ducting. I had no idea that the inner core is perforated, imagine my shock when I noticed the pin holes! What I want to know is where do I clamp with the worm clips? Right now I have only...

Hi ban-all-sheds, the gap between the boiler flue and the window wall is 30cm and the gap between the centre hole of the 152mm vent hole, from the wall is 45cm. The conduit you can see is the power supply to the boiler. it terminates at a 3amp fused switch. I did not install that power...

I just wanted to thank Blagard and big-all for your help at putting my mind at rest! I would appreciate it if you guys could kindly advise me on how to cut through the steel bars before drilling. The core bit and drill is struggling and I was thinking of purchasing an angle grinder, but that...

Hi Big-all, I have removed the plaster and it looks like there are bricks supporting the concrete. I have uploaded the photos in the album. What would you suggest I should do now? Shall I drill all the way through or repair that area? Thanks.
