    Replacing bleed valve

    Thank you terryplumb. Your answer helped. The valve points towards the wall and I initially used a spanner which was for bigger valves. I used a smaller spanner and now I could actually tighten the valve fully. I tested bleeding it few times and it was fine.

    Replacing bleed valve

    I've replaced the radiator bleed valve. I didn't have any PTFE tape so I just screwed it in. I noticed when I went to bleed it. The entire valve turns. I tried to tighten it but it's turns when I try to bleed it. What can I do now? Isolate and use the PTFE? Or do I need something else?

    Airing brick below ground level

    For the front garden the slabs are level with the door/walkpath. The airing bricks are just too low. If they were 1 brick preferably 2 bricks higher it would not have been a problem.

    Capping washing machine hot water intake

    I bought the tools to grip and tighten it already and I am afraid to do any more in case I break or bend the pipe. Can you tell me exactly what the plastic one is called? Never mind I found it on eBay. I will buy that and try it as well. Thank you.

    Capping washing machine hot water intake

    I have lined it in blue. You can see the water still comes out. Right now the tap is off, I am just worried I accidentally turn it on by hitting it etc.

    Capping washing machine hot water intake

    I have a new washing machine which doesn't need the hot water any more. I bought the blanking and tighten it. But if you turn the little tap it still leaks. Anything I am missing? Thanks
