tails

Trying to replace a Bristan basin mixer tap - bought a new one which has the usual screw-in-at tap-end tails with the captive spinning nut on the end. When I came to remove the old one, the pipe connections appear to be compression fittings, and I can’t reuse the existing tails because they’re...

Hi all Looking to replace my old toilet with a toilet/basin combo. I’ve fitted a few toilets and basins separately but never a combo? I’m looking at this combo pack as it comes with a monobloc tap but I’m baffled as to how the tap gets its feed as the tail/s must go into the cistern...

It is not the case that the homeowner needs their own electrician present on the the day that the team arrive to relocate the meter. It appears that there is a certain discretion allowable.

A contractor removed a fuse box from the bathroom and put a CU in the kitchen above, see image of connection blocks between original tails and new cables to the new CU, and their position directly below the sink bowl as defined by tap upstands and various waste water pipes. Electrician says that...

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...
