Lifting the lid of the nearest downstream inspection chamber should give a good indication of route and depth of drain.

Tend to agree. Prone to calcifying in hard water areas, and the kilowattage vs flow rate deternines the temperature rise. Ok in some situations, I suppose.

These are very good fixings IMO. The plastic bush enables a solid fix without risk of damage to the ceramic.

It's a quarter turn valve, not one you screw down.

1 The PE pipe and sleeve do not belong you, they are the responsibilty of the gas transporter, up to and including the meter. 2 Turning off at the control valve next to the meter would achieve nothing,

You reduce the risk of cross-threading by using less at the beginning of the thread. After that it's down to eye and feel!

Sounds like a good enough plan. Clean and dry before applying silicone.

Fit them "dry" first to get a feel of how much play is there and then build up the PTFE to suit, adding more thickness as you go down the threads. May need quite a bit as both threads are parallel, not tapered. Personally I prefer loctite thread for this.

Yes Get it checked asap.

It may all become clearer if you chance your arm on the cheaper replacement and have it front of you to see how it fits together.

Yes. Remove inner sealant. See what happens when shower is used. If necessary, then reseal outside. See what happens.

This gives an indication of the age of the installation, are you in a hard water district?
