Good evening, we have a 110mm outside sewer stack in black plastic running up the house, and the bottom 90cm section has a junction off it for the bathroom sink waste water outlet. The junction itself has failed on the main pipe and is leaking and requires this section to be changed. My...

I'm a DIYer and have a problematic toilet setup to fix: The waste pipe was installed too high for waste to flow out from a standard toilet spigot, so I want to install a wall-hung toilet on a frame to get some extra height. To put it where I want it though, I'll need to rotate the bottom...

Good day, Can someone please advise me if it is possible to replace old terracotta waste pipes for PVC in a section only? My sewage line goes downhill away from the house to the sewer main. What I assume to be an inspection shaft is at the bottom of my property. I want to replace only a...

Dunno if they're still a thing at all, could be old school only, but I remember seeing these gutter sections about 16" long, maybe 4"ID, 6"OD or something like that, maybe a bit bigger. Ceramic like bricks, but maybe glazed I guess. Is there anything like that available these days, and if so...

I was on this forum a long time ago and I would like to explain my experience of plumbing. This may be a long post but I will be happy if it helps just one person. I came to plumbing late in life and went on a course that you qualify in 10 weeks. I was hit with all the negativity that no one...

Problem with activator in just one area of the UFH system. I don't know how to take off the activator to check the pin. No problem with water flow. Not sure how to handle the flex coming out of the activator. I know the pins aren't working as the water gauges are not responding (that's what...

hi, so we had tried to fit an isolation valve into copper pipe that came close from the mains supply, but i'm not proud of it. we had to leave the mains water valve at half pressure or else the fittings would leak/pop off. It was my first attempt at plumbing and i assumed i could easily move the...

Good evening, Just to see how you guys have done something I keep thinking about in my head. A job I have looked at to fit a downstairs toilet. The soil stack is all internal (boxed in) and is cast all the way up, I need to cut into the bottom of the stack for the new toilet. The customer...

Hi. I am installing a downstairs toilet. My existing stack is cast iron. I don't really want to replace the whole stack so I'm hoping to to replace a small section at the bottom with a plastic t section. My question is if I chop the section out and replace with the plastic t, would it still...

I've had a call of a customer that wants me to replace some radiators for them. They weren't particularly clear over the phone and I'm due to go out there tomorrow to see in person and clarify exactly what they want but it sounds like one of the radiator swaps will involve having to move some...

Been off the repairs for this week and been "lumbered" with servicing Came across a meter that was boxed in, access via an inspection hatch... And a fire surround made completely of timber! Pictures are there for your amusement, Lord knows I've had my pound of flesh...

Hi all, I just received back from ADEY a recertified/refurbished Magnaclean Twin-Tech which I do not have need of. I also have five service kits, a pair of brand new valves and both the plastic spanners/wrenches needed for servicing & a bottle of inhibitor. Is there somewhere on the site I can...

Zzzjim posted a congratulations post for hammers yesterday , a well deserved congratulations Am I missing a section where we see our post count ? It would be good to keep it going before Shaun goes through 20 K

The short version of the question... what will be the effect of introducing a short section of 32mm pipe into a 40mm waste pipe run from a sink? The narrowed length of pipe will only be about 15% the total length of run but will also constitute an elb0w. The slightly longer version of the...

Is there an engineers section on this site?

Hi, This is my first post so apologies if I've misunderstood the purpose of the forum, appreciate if anyone can give some advice. I noticed that next to my water boiler there is an exposed section of pipe where water is running constantly (see attachment), even when all the taps are off and...
