how old is the valve? It could be that it is stuck and needs freeing up

I hope your joking :lol: :lol: :lol: What you need is to change your taps for low pressure system type or fit a booster pump next to the cylinder!

sorry you misunderstood - what i meant by popping was the joint coming loose and disconnecting - the plastic pipe and connector will withstand a lot of pressure - more than your house will generate anyway :D

Plastic fittings are perfectly acceptable but only use them if they are concealed. A lot of "plumbers" (The loosest term of course) use them but forget to lock them off or they don't push them all the way home to stop them from popping when the water pressure builds up. Also do you know if they...

sounds like your taps are high pressure taps on a low pressure system

Strange tried firefox and ie but no image??? :cry:

Seems the photo is not showing up on my home PC either...And it says nothing about him being black or other race??

topps tiles - their product knowledge is awesome well they were for me anyway and i have laid thousands of tiles in my life :evil:

if you and them are a business with less than 500 employees then you can take them to court under the commercial debt regulations You are able to claim late payment interest and costs by scale I have this written into my terms and I have never had a problem getting paid ;)

because they are not plumbers - ask them what qualifications they have and ask to see a copy of their certificates and public liability insurance before you instruct them - otherwise you will have a hefty bill if it all goes wrong

Judith there is no simple way around this - It sounds like your hot water pressure is below the minimum recommended therefore you will have a dribble for hot water I have recently refitted our kitchen and installed a tap like you describe. I live in an old house and as a result the hot...

and don't forget to isolate the water supply before you do change the washer

technically yes - in practice the max should be 3 mtrs but this should be ok

yep - the reason for this is to assist with water disposal - if the fall is too much you risk having material waste being left behind as the water flows away hth

yep agreed - my pump is brass bodied for that reason I suggested a surrey to Veglen as, like me with electrics, he is not that confident (Sorry if you are Veglen), but i agree an Essex is far better :)

6mm for every 300mm this is to make sure the water goes out by having a slight fall and the waste does not back up if it is too much of a fall

No probs your welcome The pump really needs at least a 2m head from your water tank in the loft but will work as low as 600mm. the ideal place would be to install it next to the cylinder in the airing cupboard, the reason being it needs to get the water as close as possible to the cylinder...

The wrong way to install a pump :lol:
