I'm lead to believe it was working OK for a while with the new hose and head then started playing up... Old one, no idea, all I was told, shower wasn't working correctly and she replaced it... Sorry but have no more info, will ask and post ASAP

Hello Have just been informed she had replaced the hose and head which now opens up another set of questions... Being electric shower, should they have a certain type of hose and head, i.e.. A minimum diameter hose leading to the head etc. She's bought a £20 hose and head, would this be a...

OK, will give this a go and let you know results Thanks for your time

Without stating the obvious, cold water enters the shower and through the heat exchanger and hence hot water... So cold water entering shower unit... OK, if running shower without head on, what am I aiming for and what results should I get...

That was my thought.... No reduction in flow of water what so ever (as I am told) friend was having a shower and she just said 'all of a sudden, hot scalding water started flowing through' she put the dial on cold but still hot scalding water... Any other reason why this would happen?

Got a Gaingsborough 1000 (pre 2004 model) and all of a sudden just had scalding hot water from the shower head... Would this be the thermo cut out switch which has broken, can this been replaced or new shower fitted? Thanks

Hi Just a follow up as promised for you seco services and clf-gas... Jointing compount... what a dream... Thanks for you're advice, all now fully leak/drip proof... Will def use on all Com fittings Thanks again Stuart

Thanks for the advice, will let you know how it all goes

Yeah, heard Jet blue is the stuff to get... Where exactly do you put the jet blue, all around the olive or behind the olive then the nut compresses against the olive and jet blue… am I making sense?... Its feeding hand basin, see previous post…

Believe it or not... It's for the hand basin... even thought the pipe will be hidden behind the pedestal, he still insists having chrome pipe for the 'aesthetical' (If that’s a word) look.... I just shake my head at times....

I don't want to over tighten it and have not used any jointing compound... Would Jet Blue be an option?? I will have to have a closer inspection of pipe to see if there are any nicks in it

Hi Thanks for the prompt reply... I never use PTFE tape when using copper pipe but as I've no experience with chrome pipe and the slight dampness I'm getting, it was just an option to explore. The pipe will not be visible so will probably file the chrome off and put a solder elbow instead...

Hello, I seem to have a slight problem with Chrome coated copper pipe... I'm using it in a compression fitting with an olive and PTFE tape however I'm getting some very slight moisture from around the compression fitting.... I left it over night with just one drip on the floor to show for it...

Thanks, the main issue I was asking whether I could just add a strap on boss to the soil stack without drilling a bigger hole because the stack is difficult to get to...... Currently the waste is 28mm copper pipe, which enters the stack via a compression fitting... Thanks :)

Hello, I'm fitting a bath and it appears it has 28mm copper waste pipe from the Cast Iron bath with a compression fitting to the plastic soil stack. What are the options of adding a strap on boss so I can fit 40mm waste pipe, is it a simple straight forward swap... the soil stack is awkward...
