Hi everyone I have an internal soil stack that is creating a bad smell. The stack goes up in a small room near kitchen & ends through floor in bathroom directly into toilet. It is not vented anywhere. I have no room to bring it up in the bathroom to put an air admittance valve on. Can anyone...

Does anyone know what this mono block tap is called, where I can get one & how the hell do you get the tap head off? Thanks in advance

Sounds good Thanks all.

Cheers mate I'd been told I'd have same problem just using a T into horizontal pipe as they'd only be offset by a couple of hundred mm at most. You don't think when 1 toilet flushes other will start bubbling? Thanks for your help

Hi all I'm considering changing a bedroom into a family bathroom. The bedroom backs onto a ensuite so all the pipework is there & easily accessible. Problem is the toilets. I'd have 1 in the middle of the bedroom wall & 1 offset on the other side in the ensuite. My question is will this cause...

Cheers for all replies. Gives me alot to think about. Guess raising the tank & putting pump in loft is my only option. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks again.

cheers Rob. problem is its an en suite. no bath. no room in cylinder cupboard.no space in adjoining rooms. loft space was only option really. it's just that i'd seen one in a loft piped as i said so thought it would be easy. how wrong was i. any other ideas or is that it.. cheers

i have a gravity fed balanced system & want to fit a shower pump. 1. can i fit the pump in the loft next to the cold water tank as there is no space next to the hot water cylinder. 2. can i just cut into the hot & cold pipes in the loft that feed direct to the shower & fit the pump there? 3...

Cheers for advice. I'll post what I do & what happens when I get around to it

cheers mate thats kind of what i was think & wondering wether to re pipe lower down. so guess i'm going to re pipe & raise tank. bet i still end up with a pump. thanks again

yes it's about 1 metre. i'm going to raise the tank, but can only get an extra 400 to 500mm but i guess every little helps. I want a pump to be last resort if i can. Cheers again at least i feel like i'm getting somewhere now

exactly that yes

Well what is that pipe that just hangs over the cold tank called?? Because its tee'd off that but bellow tank level. That's the hot. Cold off tank as normal then drops to shower valve. That's about it really. Cheers. That's the non confusing version

Sorry think I'm confusing you. It tees off below the tank. But the 22 carries on to loop into the tank which is what I mean by the expansion pipe. That's what I've been told that the expansion pipe rises into the loft & back into the cold tank. Well that's where the shower tees off from right...

Thanks again guys. Right the pipework is 22mm from copper cyl downstairs then t in loft where 22 carries on over tank & 15 then horizontal 2ft then vertical in 22 for 5ft. Cold in 15 from tank 2ft then vertical 5ft all in 15. No high points no weird runs. Have cleaned it out & a bit better but...

cheers again when i say expansion i mean the 22mm pipe that comes up & over the cold water tank. When i moved the shower it came 6 feet closer horizontally, so just shortened the pipe work & upgraded as much as i could to 22mm, no extra bends or elbows as it was all in 15 before. I just...

hi cheers for answer. other shower is a mira. sorry i said it was 0.5bar it's min pressure is actually 0.1 bar. Why will it work for a while then stop?? is the hot water piped ok coming from what i think is the expansion pipe?? Will re piping not make any difference?? Thanks, it's just i...

i have recently moved a thermostatic shower from one side of a bathroom to the other. This always worked well before. I've fitted a triton thermostatic mixer valve works off 0.5bar which is directly under the tank in the loft. i have about a metre head. the problem is the shower works for a few...

Helps a lot. Cheers everyone

thanks for replies guys think i'll go for a positive head pump as they are loads cheaper n just pipe everything up same as before. cheers
