Yes, I have the one to the left! Good to know I can use these! Is there any need for an insert? I'm guessing not, as they're already quite rigid.

Or perhaps I should use something like the below? Are these compatible with flexpipe? https://spares-2-go.com/products/radiator-valve-15mm-x-10mm-pushfit-chrome-speed-fit-reducing-straight-compression-stem-pack-of-2

Another Q, relating to my towel radiator. The current piping is plastic i.e. 10mm flex pipe and I have bought speed fit couplers (10mm to 15mm) to connect to my new radiator valves. Will these work with compression fittings?

There's a valve underneath and attached to the expansion vessel... is this the valve to use to drop the pressure?

I'm replacing a radiator in my bathroom with a towel radiator, which will also need new radiator valves. I'm hoping to do this without draining the system. I have a system boiler (boiler and hot water tank) and a closed/ unvented heating circuit. Am I right that if the valve is removed, then...

Got ya! Cheers!

Thanks foxhole! I take it that the second link are the nuts I would use to secure the frame? Do you also have a recommendation for the thread bar? or are they all the same thread size?

I have a basic gazebo on my outdoor patio which has four feet that are screwed into the slabs. It's not very secure (especially in the wind) so I was hoping to attach the two vertical posts nearest to my wall to the wall itself. The posts are metal and hollow and have a square cross section of...

I'm extending a patio area and was wondering if I need a layer of subbase before I lay sharp sand. The area will be covered by a pergola so I'm not too worried about drainage. Also, I've noticed that the current slabs are only layed on sharp sand.

So any cheap (amazon!) hot glue gun?!

Yes, it's ABS. Just checked the order.

I'm fixing my daughters hoverboard which needed a new plastic shell. When I came to replacing the shell, there's a few computer boards and speakers fixed to the shell by some kind of resin - perhaps silicone or polymer? I need to carefully remove these and then fix to the new plastic shell...

The pergola is 3m (width) X 2.5m (protruding from house) and my patio once extended will be approx 6m (width) X 3m (from house). I'm planning to put the extended patio slabs on sublayer and sand - so would it be possible to drain into the sublayer, perhaps using a porous drain? Or doesn't it...

Into a soakaway?

I'm looking to extend my patio and install a pergola extending from the back of my house. The pergola will cause water to accumulate at the edge of my patio which leads onto my garden - Can I simply fit a drainage channel in between the edges of my patio and garden (grassed area)? Any tips or...

Hi All, I'm looking for a dimmer switch to control my lighting (LEDs) in my living room. Essentially I have two lights with two switches (each switch either side of the room). The lights are either both on or both off. Is this one gang two way, or two gang two way? I've had a look at one of...

I was dreading that. £500 machine just 4 years old! I'll get a £200 Beko next time.

Yes, it seems to move in relation to the outer drum. There's a lot of play in the drum, but the belt is currently off. Also, if you manually rotate the drum it feels as if it's knocking something. Increase the speed of rotation and it sounds like a train building up speed. All this with the...

I have a Bosch Varioperfect washing machine (WAQ283S0GB) which does not spin. I opened it up and the belt had come off. So I put it back on and a few days later it came off again - it kind of catches above the lip of where it sits in the drum and moves over the lip then off the drum. So I put...

I'm looking to alter my chicken coop so that it has a wooden strip (approx 10 cm, wide any thickness) around the perimeter of the base. This will allow me to fill the coop with sand and the sand won't escape through the sides. I'm thinking of buying plywood for this. Does anyone sell plywood...
