So one of these plus some ptfe should do the trick?

Hi, I'm fitting a smart toilet and it comes with an angled ball valve with filter for regulating the water supply. The flexi goes on the outlet part fine but I'm a bit unsure of the inlet side. It has a ribbed thread and no nut. A standard compression nut and olive will fit onto it fine, but it...

Thanks for the replies all. Am erring away from storage combis now I know how they work. Undecide on way forward as yet, but thought I'd do some pressure and flow tests to check if that's going to restrict my options: Gauge on outside tap, static pressure 5.3 bar. Kitchen tap full on 3.3 bar...

This isn't quite going as expected. If this were an automotive forum and I asked how a diesel engine worked I've so far got: "The pistons go up and down" and "German cars are rubbish" Lol

Thanks for the reply but "Storage combis just store heated water ie. they have a reserve of heat energy. Once the store is depleted they revert to a standard combi output" My question is how is that achieved? If I demand nothing from the boiler is it constantly heating this "store" in the...

Hi all, Soon to get a replacement boiler and have been looking at the possibility of a storage combi (Veismann Vitodens 111 etc). Just finding it hard to get info on how they actually work. I understand how a combi works and how a boiler with storage works. I get that the storage combi...

I did a flow test off the 15mm rising main and it is 16 litres per min. I need to complete the work over the next couple of days so any help with my questions would be most appreciated: 1) Given that the inner bore of the lead supply pipe is probably no bigger than the 15mm copper it's...

That I am Plumber90. Any thoughts on the supply/pipework?

Hi. I'm refurbishing an Edwardian terrace and need a little advice from you lovely people on my plumbing scenario please. I have found some info by searching but not a definitive answer. I have a kitchen (with combi boiler) and two bathrooms to plumb CW supplies from scratch. The bathrooms...

Cheers newboy. I should be able to suss it out now!

Thanks for the reply! Ok so i need to cut the pipe back close to the wall. That's a 120 degree bend i'll be cutting off then. If i put a multikwik connector in i'll need to fit a bend to get the pipe sticking out perpendicular to the wall again won't I? When you say wall do you mean the...

Hi, Hoping someone can help with a multikwik question please. I am replacing a toilet on a cast iron pipe 4" internal diameter. I am replacing with a closed couple toilet and I also want to move it to the left (as viewed from above) by 75-100mm. The basic question is how far back...

Thanks limerock, just the ticket. I won't hold you to it!! Cheers, Lube

Nice one limerock - very useful info that makes sense to me. Given that the concensus is it's more professional than diy, could you give me a very rough idea of what this work may cost? Tricky I know without seeing it but just a ball park would be useful. I need to get someone in for a...

Big thanks to Nige F and dan009 for the all the info. Just what I was looking for. I'll open it up some more as suggested in case I haven't seen the entire extent of the damage. I need to get someone in to quote for the install of a steel for a downstairs knock through job so, given the...

I have edited my original post to include images/descriptions so hopefully it'll make more sense. Limerock - thanks for taking a look. If I can facilitate a repair rather than taking the roof off, I would rather do that. Could you give me a bit more on how you would actually replace the...

OK I've pulled pics in to original post and have added plans too. Fingers crossed!!

Erm ok. In the interests of me finding out what my "Roof" album looks like to someone else on here, this is what I see when I follow that link: Seven clickable thumbnails in an Album called "Roof". Click the thumbnail to get large version of image. This has a title at the top (as per thumbs)...

Cheers dann09 - I'll edit and repost. Out of curiosity, could you see the pics plus descriptions in the album that was linked too? Just checking in case I'm the only one who can see them!

Hi all, I've been fishing for help in the Roofing Forum but bites are proving hard to come by. I thought I'd trickle a bit of loose feed into the margins of the ever popular Building Forum to see if anyone here may have some advice . I'm not expecting a feeding frenzy but a couple of bobs on...
