pipe

Hello, I will be refurbishing a 1960s house and am considering what aspects of the plumbing might need changing, there's a couple of points in particular I would appreciate advice with. Some of the pipework looks like it might be 50 years old, other bits look like they were changed more...

Hi, I am sure someone here has seen it before and could explain this to me. I recently unblocked (blocked by some insulation) an airbrick in 1950s house , which 'opens' onto a vitrified clay pipe under concrete kitchen floor. The pipe hoes for about 3 m all the way to the front room (where the...

I recently got ground floor piping extended to have drain (40mm leading to the stack as in the figure), hot and cold in a first floor room. Only the pipes are there, but I'd like to install a sink and a washing machine as from the (quite schematic) diagram. Note that the washing machine will...

fitted new gully but will pipe be to close to finished floor hight, it shortest route, and just clears footing as it is now

Working in crawlspace at the minute to insulate floors and pipes. Current pipes have this felt type lagging around it and I'm quite hesitant to disturb it. Question is... do you reckon it's Asbestos or not? Pipe Lagging 01 by costley posted 8 May 2019 at 11:05 AM Pipe Lagging 02 by costley...

Hi All need to run some pipe for the outlet the washing machine (10-15m around a few bends). Is there are particular type that is stronger / resident to being be stepped on by mistake - long story !! Thanks !

Hi there, I am a long-time lurker, and finally have a question which I hope you can help with. We are looking at the viability of fitting a balanced flue gas fire, but the routing of the gas feed is tricky as we cannot get below the floors or into the ceiling space. The only...

looking for some advice as to what to do about these ugly plastic pipe coverings. they are not even fitted properly as you can see. Is there something better that they could be replaced with? They go from the floor to the ceiling in a few rooms. Thanks

Very irritating things. Currently using a pair of (admittedly cheap) Corgi pipe stats on a woodburner gravity circuit, wired so the heating pump will not run unless flow and return are 50 deg C or hotter. Trouble is the accuracy is wild and the hysteresis is worse- about 15 deg C- which is not...

We had a new baxi solo boiler fitted but Eon did not fit the external plume pipe.. still waiting for a reply from them...in the meantime would the following link to the pipe should I buy it fit ?..I've also added some pics of connection I need it to fit...

5.5mm and 9mm hardwood ply services boxing in a kitchen. Will wood primer cause delamination? I'd like to end up with the same paint on the box and adjacent walls, not too worried about cracking between varying substrates as there's already breeze and stud walls so plenty of corner cracking...

We built an extension on ground floor of a Victorian house. The extension is L shaped with a thin part connecting it to the existing structure. The roof is a green sedum roof, with a waterproofing membrane collecting all the rain water and channeling it to a pipe that goes through the ceiling...

I am in France, so I realise that fittings etc. may well be different here. I have read that the supply pipe diameter for a washbasin should be 12mm and for a shower 16mm. The hot and cold feeds to my bathroom are 14mm copper pipe, and I don't want to have to redo the entire run. I'm intending...

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...
