do i just square up to wall or have a slight recess into plaster? Depends on the tile thickness and how straight the wall is... You want your tiles to drop on top of the bath, so that water from the tiles will run into the bath and not, potentially, down the side. Yes, the brackets are tiled...

Doesn't have to be a combi... Get yourself a DVD Recorder (they are now coming in under £100) and connect it to you VHS player with a scart lead... That way you won't have to load all sorts of crap onto you computer either

Can you get another copy of the wmv from a different source? I may be corrupt, it may not be a valid wmv file...? ____________________________ moderator post locked to prevent hi jacking

Back to my sidetrack thread...:-) Thanks chaps - I sorted it this morning (I hope) Got a 1/2 71b Lead-Line fitting (similar to LeadLoc - but not the same) and yes, had to shave a mm off all the way around the pipe to get the bastard on. Very tight now - no way that's going to pop off...

Right, that's it!! The bloody thing popped off last night, water everywhere. No more leadloc for me! I shall try to get hold of one of those other things (that u have to break before fitting?) My leadloc got pushed up the pipe, I can see the cut where the thing flipped over and dug into the...

When warm it should shut the boiler off - regardless off what ur TRV's are doing. If your thermostat is in the right place and set correctly you shouldn't need any TRV's When running your boiler needs a full circuit of water. Some boiler's do have a by-pass, I believe, that will come into...

Thx Paul It was leadloc and the copper washer flicked over.... I thought about wiping it but have no experience in that area.... It had been fixed before, the leak was from a glob of lead solder that a previous plumber had blobbed over a previous leak. I've suggested when he has a new...

It's easier to get off when it's dry than when it's wet. A razorblade should then do the trick

ROFL! :lol:

A regular problem.... There are a variety of nuts and bolts provided for this job. Does your bolt have a groove at one end? U can loosen it, move the nut up, then tighten it with a screwdriver. If u have a long nut, with groove on either side of bottom end, u can hacksaw the bolt shorter...

I read this thread with interest... I fitted a 3/4" leadloc yesterday. Seemed a bit loose when I'd finished but it is bone dry so I'm happy. When I say loose,..more like springy, i guess this is the rubber o-ring. There is a gap of 1-2 mm between the nut and the pipe which I find...

I fancy getting an SDS with rotary stop for chiselling. But I want to be able to drill through wood with it aswell. I have seen various chuck adaptors on sale but they don't all make sense to me. I don't see the point in splashing out on an expensive drill and not be able to use it on wood...

it is your radiators that are under pressure, not the taps.

If you wander out to the pavement you should find a stop-cock there somewhere, although it may be shared with a neighbour. That's what the plumber will have to turn off to change you stop-cock anyways.
