Hi,

I'm wanting to make this:

I'm assuming that the nipple pipes have something to do with plumbing but I have no idea what they are, where would I buy something like that as I've had a look on B&Q, Toolstation etc without any luck.

1/2'' screwed steel pipe & 1/2'' flange.................Try any company that does commercial Heating installation work.

If there's a local company that "trains" plumbers, then simeone there may knock you up a bit of pipe with a thread on the end for a pint (eg look up www.olci.co.uk for a place in north tyneside)

WTF? They have the equipment there and the materials and quite probably someone who can cut a length of steel and bung a thread at the end of it. In fact, chances are there'll be some offcuts in the bins anyway which will suffice.

Not much

Anyway, the main point is that one of the things that you have to learn is some very basic steel pipe work, for which they have the tools.

Having said all that, that BES number looks just the ticket.
