pipe

Hi, I have a Victorian toilet (house c.1890) that I'm looking to replace, mainly so I can fit a sink waste like this into the soil pipe as no easy way to exit the sink waste...

Hi there. I’m looking to replace our existing Aqualisa Colt shower with a new shower from IKEA. I thought it was going to be a simple replacement job but I’ve discovered they’re fitted in different ways. Our existing shower fits on with its own bracket and plastic ends just slip directly on to...

Hello Desperately looking for a 32 mm connector which is internal due to an issue with space .don't mind if it reduces it to 28mm but can't be a standard push on fit which goes on the external pipework. I.was wondering if there was something like the picture which goes inside a 32mm pipe...

Hi I just moved into a new flat and have a small kitchen. The place did not come with a place for a dishwasher so I had a plumber put in a branch on the cold water feed going to the boiler (combi in the kitchen). The standpipe is under the sink about 4 metres of pipe away through 5 fitted...

I'm wondering whether there is any form of transparent plumbing pipe? I mean stuff rated for domestic water pressure that fits the standard diameters (say 15mm or 22mm). Rigid or flexible. Since you couldn't solder it, it would have to be compatible with either push fit or compression...

Hi All, (Apologies, my plumbing skills/terminology need much improvement) I recently found a leak on the joint of a TRV valve coming from one of my radiators, it seemed to be where the pipe enters the valve (see image and imagine the silver pieces of the valve are bone dry). I had someone...

Hi I have just had a flood in my kitchen where I let the water go from my sink as usual after washing up and it came pouring out an unblocked pipe under the sink. This has never happened before and we have lived here 2 years! Firstly any tips on how to block off or connect the open pipe to...

Hi, We've just had our soffits, facias and gutters replaced. Previously, the overflow/warning pipes for the central heating header tank and cold water tank for hot water in the loft came out of holes in the facia below the gutter. But for this installation, the installer decided it would look...

Before we bought our new place we were renting. We had asked the landlord permission to drill above the fireplace to hang a mirror; it was his old house and we were on good terms with him so no problem. Well, that's what I thought. Measured up where we needed to put the two screws. It was a...

Could anyone give me an idea what this pipe might be? It's sticking out of the ground about 0.5m from the back wall of my house. It seems to be capped off with a wired-shut cap or something. I'm hoping it's not gas - but I'm not sure. The problem is that I've come to lay a new lawn where a...

I have to join two pieces of 63mm MDPE, the coupler came with plastic inserts. I always thought they were to help avoid crushing the pipe. The MDPE pipe is so thick i wouldnt think i could crush it if i tried, therefore why is it supplied? The pipe is having pumped grey water through it and i...

Can i put a step in a drain run? Down obviously not up, i would assume it needs to be rod-able from both directions but would it work? I have a reinforced ground beam to get over. The invert of the drain is the same height at the middle of the ground beam so i was proposing 110mm pipe over the...

Hi, can anyone help. Our kitchen sink pipes have been leaking for a week, we've isolated the leak to the right side. There is a pipe without what I'd image should be a screwed on end piece ? (I will attach a picture), we've placed a bucket under the leak temporarily. FYI, I'm not much of a diy...

Hi everyone I'm currently doing up my bathroom and I need some help please. :( Gate valve. I've currently replaced gate valves on the cold and hot pipes coming into the bathroom so this can isolated whilst the rest of u the house has water but the problem is the cold pipe gate valve is...

I'm plumbing in the pipework for our bathroom, all 15mm copper for a standard bathroom (toilet, basin, bath & shower, all fed from mains / combi boiler). For the last part, connecting the bathroom pipework up to the hot & cold feed, I was thinking of using this...

Hi, I appreciate there are several posts relating to foundations but each case is different so was hoping for some advice. I'm trying to build over a 900m diameter sewer with invert level 2.7m below ground level in Harrow, Middlesex. The max distance that I have from edge of the sewer to the...

How do I connect a 15mm pipe to a 1" diameter male "O" ring type fitting? See photo. I am replacing an Imperial radiator in a single pipe system with a metric one which is quite a bit shorter. I have bought a 1/2" Danfoss Randall RA-G Single Pipe TRV Body which comes with a chrome fitting...

Hi, I'm pretty useless at this but I have a cast iron rain water pipe as per the pic which has the bend part at the bottom. I wanted to connect this to a upvc pipe (as per the brown pic) and I wasn't sure what sort of connector I would need. Both pipes are 68mm and I can only seem to find...

Planning a new bathroom, can anyone see any issues with this waste water design? I plan on using 50mm solvent weld pipe and can achieve the correct fall from each appliance to the soil pipe. I already purchased the basin that came with a waste trap, I am not sure if it is anti-vac or not so...

Hi all. I just wanted some advice. We currently have a small mouse problem at our house at the moment and they seem to be coming into the room from the holes around the boiler pipe work on the floor. I have used coarse steel wool to plug these holes as I hear it useful to stop mice. What I...
