The challenge of taking it out and redoing is the 32mm has been solvent welded to the Tee on the soil pipe it would mean having to cut the small vertical pipe from the soil Tee and coupling it. Then either replacing entire stretch it horizontal 32mm again or cutting and coupling that...

    TMV constantly leaking in gasket inlets

    Was doing ok for a few hours then just a little movement on the pipe while working then started leaking again. Tightened it a bit further as it’s not tight tight then stopped again. But same thing happening on cold side but every so often starts weeping again. Not really confident with this...

    32mm solvent elbow angle problem - please help

    Thank you. I used a combination of heating a long spare piece of pipe and slightly bending it and the 92.5 degree bend to just make it work. Only thing is the horizontal 32mm pipe that comes and inserts into the 92.5 bend if it’s supposed to insert let’s say 25mm approx into try bend I only...

    TMV constantly leaking in gasket inlets

    So I’ve managed to make it work without leaking so far. Keeping an eye on it for the next 24hrs see how it goes. But definitely think it’s very poorly designed. I had to completely removing it and have someone hold the two fittings 100% straight while hand tightening the nut. Making sure the...

    TMV constantly leaking in gasket inlets

    Also, please see the the pics below. I think there is something fundamentally wrong here. That bit that goes to thread into the body is supposed to surely sit perfectly centred to that body metal ring. I hope that makes sense. But if you look carefully you will see that it doesn’t. Unless the...

    TMV constantly leaking in gasket inlets

    I’ve attached a few pics. The two faces are flat and they provide this really thick black rubber that’s the exact size of the flat surface. But problem is the the main nut that comes and tightens to the body doesn’t not have anything that keeps it perfect centred so I think it just doesn’t sit...

    32mm solvent elbow angle problem - please help

    Thanks. Might give this a try tomorrow. Do you think it will manage to offset the difference in angle between the horizontal 32mm pipe and the soil pipe?

    32mm solvent waste

    Hey guys, I’ve got a little dilemma hoping someone can help. So I have a designer black bottle trap which comes with a metal sort of 32mm pipe for the drain. Silly me I just assumed my 32mm solvent pipe will fit straight in. But realised the pipe it comes with must be for pushfit or compression...

    Flux residue inside new copper pipes

    I’m remodelling my bathroom, which involves a fair bit of new copper pipework and a layout change. To do this, I brought the hot and cold supplies to a central point and temporarily capped them with JG Speedfit end stops. Over the past 1–2 weeks I’ve been slowly soldering all the new pipe runs...

    Stopcock weeping

    My home was a newbuild around 15ish years now and under the kitchen sink is one of those brass stopcocks labelled main water stopcock. It’s been fine all these years but recently I had to turned the water supply off and on a few times to do some bathroom work. Since then I’ve noticed that the...

    Inline bathroom extraction ceiling vent locations

    My previous extractor fan that I’m replacing was wired with Live as the supply from an outside extractor isolator switch and the switched live was from the switched light Live. So if I turned on the isolator the fan would be running on low speed unless I turned on the light switch which powered...

    I have purchased a Manrose 100mm In-Line Mixed Flow Extractor Fan and a ceiling vent that will hook up to this. I’ve currently placed the vent itself directly above the shower area where the steam starts. The extractor fan itself is in the loft and the run to the extraction point is relatively...

    NPT & BSP Question

    One side of the arm has considerably lot more threads than the other. The shower head itself that has the G1/2" connection is much shallower in terms of how many threads it has and seems to match more the end of the arm that has the lesser number of threads. And the other side has a lot more...
