hi all,could somebody tell me where to get those rubber type cones which save having to drain down please.how much are they roughly?or is there a trick of the trade :wink: :wink: i think one of the olives is cranked on the radiator and would like to have a go at changing the valves without the b**lache of having to drain. i suspect its slightly risky :roll: anybody got any stories where its gone t***s up,waterfall styli?.thanks once again
 
SOme tank connectors have two longditudinal ribs in them for a spanner thing to turn, which makes it hard for the cone to seal well. Bas's method works, as does freezing the pipe.

As far as I can tell I'm in the dark all day and all night. :eyes:

The clock's an hour slow, by the way!
 
For cases or torches? Can never find a torch in the dark. Besides, they do USA, Europe, Australia, New Zealand. No shops down here :eyes:
Hmmm, it'll be morning in March sometime.

Wonder if that clock will be put right - still an hour slow.
 
managed to fix the radiator.used some plumbers mait to plug-somewhat cheaper than those rubber effegies 8) .

have you been spearing for fish today chrisR?,stocking up for the big freeze!!have you tried petzl :lol: will be light in about 7 hours here.managed to fix y our clock? :wink: :wink:
 
how long have you got to work once the pipe is frozen :?:

the time sponsored by breitling is 12.50PM
the clock will be right when they go back soon :roll:
 
depends on how high ambient temperature is.

but i think its 1/2 hr - 1hr

or 10 mins if next to an oven (assuming the oven is on)

About 9 months, but with global warming it could be a bit less. :mrgreen:
