Hi all Hope you can help me, I've taken the old tiles off in the bathroom and bought some new ones which are 300x500. The walls have some adhesive where the old tiles come from but I've sanded this down and also filled some patches where plaster came of with the tiles, the question is do I pva...

Hi there Yes you are right, that is the better solution, this has come across my mind but I have mo experience in soldering. Wish I did :)

Fingers cross everything seems OK, I didn't replace the gate valves as the lever ball was heavy and weighing down on the pipes, loctite 55 seems to work really well on the elbow compression , I wrapped the same amount as the ptfe before and feels really solid when tightening, and the gate valve...

Thankyou :)

3/4 copper olives Where can I get these copper olives from no where seems to sell them, I can only find these on the Internet thabks

so my plan now is remove both gate valves and replace with pegler lever arm, hopefully tighten more on the olive and remove shower valve elbow and wrap a bit more thread on the male thread.... let you know my progress :) thanks all for your advice

wished i posted here before i started the bathroom :( , ive read that lever arm are full bore compared to gate valve which the bore looks like 15mm.

mmmmm the old ones i replaced failed to close hence why i replace them like for like but now i think i might change them to lever ones then... but i dont know which ones to get.... its only to isolate the bathroom

thanks for ur reply, i will give them another go

hello, how much do they charge becuase i might get one in if i cant sort this out :)

hi thanks for ur reply,, maybe your right theres a little weep this morning and im guessing the brass olive is a bit tough to compress compared to copper, it just feels like i cant turn the nut anymore, the pipe is engaged but seems to leak when i move the pipe as there is no where for it to be...

Thanks for your time and really appreciate your comment, I checked the gland nut and it's not leaking, I don't think it's compressed to the pipe as I could remove the olive with a bit of force, when I hand tighten the nut I give it another go with a spanner but it gets to a point where feels...

3/4 Brass olive from plumb centre, Metric olive was very loose on the pipe, so I've used 3/4 olive which fit little bit better, I've wrapped it up with ptfe but no luck...
