Hi I am fitting new sink and new toilet in en-suite in an extension, the question is I think I need a stop water fitting on the toilet for waterstandards, can this be fitted anywhere along the pipe or does it have to be within a certain distance of the toilet? Then with the sink, do you...

Hi , I have a Ideal Standard Cistern with a Push Button Dual Flush Valve in it, and have a new one to fit in an en-suite... now I have two problems... The first problem is nowhere in the instructions does it say how to fit the pipe to the inlet so you can fill the cistern... as it stands...

thanks, but can't take up floorboards as under bath in new bathroom which I just don't want to take apart for this. the trouble is you got a bath going in lower and a sink higher up the pipe and obviously the original toilet too, the whole thing is a nightmare... Is there a specialist sort...

thanks for warning, but surely this is the easier way rather than what I have to do otherwise, besides if mainly used for number 1's then can't go that wrong surely.

I enclose a photo of our current waste system which has 110mm Grey Marley Soil Waste and simply runs one toilet into it, as we now have an extension and on the other side of the soil pipe we wish to add a toilet and sink. what I intended to do is to get this out and put a T-branch...

thanks, bought a new one, still didn't work was a massive airlock in system! took all afternoon to sort out. Thanks for help!

Thanks Doitall! I took em all off replaced, with plenty of PTFE, looks like mate who did it put 2 wraps of ptfe! Just bit of problem with downstairs rad not heating, but will write back if still issue later, trying a few things now.

nah it was done seperately, the thing is the flow was hot when I first put on heating, so it was getting there, but nothing going thru

yeah brand new on all rad's its a Drayton RT212 , others work fine. what do you reckon?

Are TRV's meant to be fitted on the Flow or Return, I am guessing that the flow is the hot pipe when the TRV doesn't let any water through? If I have fitted round wrong way will rads still work>?? cos can't get no water through either! I don't think it matters, but the other two rads are...

Thanks for coming back, I just turned em back on and they seem ok, but worried once boards down, why would the screw raise? pressure? Also on the other radiator I got such a minute drop of water, I am thinking is it worth doing, we are talking in an hour or so not even a drip, its only if you...

http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=A236929&ts=93894&id=67670 its one of these valves, I just checked the other and that seems the same, I turned it so the line is vertical with valve which is off, the screw seems to rise and slight water seeps out, is this pressure? Do I really...

thanks for your reply breezer, yeah I did put two cut off on, the screw type, but when I just turned them off the screw kinda pops out a bit and is dripping water too, I managed to wind it back round but seems to be duff? does this happen often?

I just fitted 3 radiators on a extension linked into normal boiler system. One of the radiators is dripping very slightly from the thermo valve where it actually goes into the radiator thread, I have tightened it as much as I can and it still leaks :cry: Even though it would take a year...

ok looks like Gripfil Max then

not an option, cables at skirting level :(

I just stuck down a load of skirting last night using standard Gripfil, this stuff takes 20 mins or so to go off and left me holding each piece hard to the wall! Is there a better alternative than gripfil (other than nails) for sticking skirting to wall?

Hi, I have just plumbed in 2 new radiators and a towel radiator all on flow and return set up directly to boiler... I was wondering when I let the water in do I do one rad at a time, or all 3 or have to stand by each one with valve off etc? Also on the top of the radiator you get a cap and...

ok thanks to you all, I got it done with 2 x 90 elbows and a bit of pipe and blow torch... If you didn't lay floor first you would have bigger holes in laminate, as a result we got 16mm holes and it looks perfect ;)

nah couldn't extend as pipes run from left to right and up, so would have to cut down redo and dig a hole in a brand new flooring with laminate too :( thanks for help I will use the 2 elbow option
