the screw top protrudes is like a round bolt head, but with six 1/2 cut outs it is a raised dome with the 1/2 moon cut outs

Good evening all, this little screw is off a small domestic air fan , the screw looks like this ; http://s785.photobucket.com/albums/yy134/cypher_0000/?action=view&current=screw.jpg it is about 5mm in diameter , and dome shaped i have looked online, but cant find any reference...

hello everyone, I have been searching online for D.P.C wall plugs , but have only found 1 or 2 sellers in the UK not even screwfix seems to supply them are they actually called ' dpc wall plugs ' ? also, the type Ive seen are like the ones I had in the wall, flexi-head...

it is a tank-in-loft nasty old fashioned rubbish system, to give it its full name...... the tie up the ball is a good idea, Im actually not bad with soldering, but the water in the pipes is making it v.difficult I will be looking to get a decent quote and get someone in asap...

>>Arent the pipes you pierced all heating pipes? <<< VERY GOOD question actually, I dont know actually, when I turned mains water on, the 22mm pipe starting spurting water out....and boiler + pump were switched off could be the 22mm supplies cold water to the bath / WC ...

>>The solder will not melt in any pipe that has water in it no matter how long you sit there burning gas. << hmmm, this explains it then, I was there for ages and it would not melt whatsoever...... how to get all the water out ? OR , if there is a way to SEAL the mashed up...

as it happens, I did try to solder up the holes. but the solder would not stick to the pipe no matter what, I did clean it 1st with wire wool , may try this again tommorow, I was knackered today, hours of work ( i had already replaced a 15mm section that also I had nailed...

yes, it is so classicaly stupid I cant believe i did it..... ( but i can also now understand how feskin easy it is to make a cock up like this ......too easy ) OK, yes, It would be best to replace the entire T piece, however there is another T piece connected to it ..... would it...

Not a bad idea, but I would kinda need drinking water in the meantime !!! What would be a reasonable quote for the work involved ? I assume it should be no more than 2 hours work for a professional plumber ? what kind of quote would be reasonable, for manchester non city area ?

very crafty ! thats a good idea , cutting the nut off, and leaving the threads intact..... great info thanks for all the info about the spanner / wrench types, this is all new to me.... :wink:

hello all what a muppet I truly have been today, after replacing the CH pump yesterday , I noticed some of the floorboards were damaged, badly fitted, had been for some time, SO, perfect time to replace them today ? WRRRROOONNNNGGGGG !!!!! :( after fitting new boards, I...

I dont know what else, there are 2 other cables connecting into it, but dont know what the cables are from.....

hmmm, just had a thought, the ISO valves use an olive ring on the 22mm connection so I cant just fit the new ISOs onto the existing 22mm side, as that olive has already been compressed and cant be re-used ? this would mean cutting pipe and soldering in a new piece ? Teddy

thanks !!

where the heck can you buy the ISO valves from ? none at screwfix, none on fleabay please dont tell me that they are only available as part of a pump package, as i bought a bare pump only !! Teddy

Ive just spotted some spanners online; http://www.screwfix.com/prods/37949/Hand-Tools/Plumbing-Tools/Specialist-Plumbing/Pump-Nut-Spanner-52mm seems 52mm is the correct size, in hindsight, yes , it wouldve been better to remove the ISO valves too and fit new ones and complete new pump...

I did use that type of plier in the end, but Im suprised that people arent using the correct sized spanner ? this would mean no slipping and no damaging to nuts... i used a blowtorch and still couldnt undo one side, hence I merely was able to rotate the pump enough to get to the motor...

Hello Ive just fitted a new 15-50 , ( swapped motors actually ) and I had major problems trying to loosen the nuts on the grundfos pump ( The nuts are from the Isolators fitted on each side ) my query is; can someone tell me what the correct spanner size required is ? I tried...
