hose

Hi, Forgive my inexperience, I'm a first time buyer and unfamiliar with anything plumbing related. We had a washing machine delivered today and the supplier was unable to hook it up as the tap for the water inlet hose was so close to the wall that the wings on the connector on the inlet hose...

Hi all, Wish I had X-ray vision. My customer has an old concealed shower valve, with a concealed shower hose connection. There is a dribble from the plastic housing around the shower hose connection (it's not the rubber sealing washer/etc on the hose). So maybe a crossed thread on the hose...

Hi, I'm new to UK plumbing system and got lost as don't know names/diameters/availability of the parts I need to do the job. I guess I'd need to remove one of the copper fittings and order a flexible fitting of some sort and diameter. Don't worry about the length I would get a suitable one...

Hi everyone, I have one of those taps that have a pull out hose and extend to rinse your dishes etc... anyway, being the idiot that I am, I unscrewed the head to give it a clean. The hose went back up into the tap about an inch or two, and I cannot for the life of me retrieve it. I've tried...

Hi All I have found that the drain hose from the washing machine is being squashed. This is preventing the washing machine from draining. How can I stop this from happening? The main problem is the washing machine is a tight fit and has to be pushed right back as far as possible. Any ideas? Jim

Are the connectors on a hot-water hose the same a garden-hose?

I discovered a leak coming from a connection that was installed to provide external garden hose. The plastic connection is cracked and leaking. I have visited B&Q and Heat Merchants for advice. Both think the the only option is to replace the whole hose. However the hose is currently running...

Hi everyone, new to the forum as desperately seeking advice on the sink that has been the bane of my life for several months now! We live on a boat so it isn't the usual sink set up. The sink waste just joins to a short length of plastic hose that leads to the outside of the boat. I put in a...

The inlet valve bottom entry to toilet cistern developed a drip that flowed under toilet and dampened grout on tiles. Initially I could not figure where leak was so fearing it was an underfloor pipe I called out the original plumber from 13 years ago. Turns out it was the inlet valve to...

Hi my toilet is leaking both from the water inlet and from the existing copper piping. I'm usually quite handy and many many years ago, I replaced the water inlet for this cistern. However last week, it began leaking, initially from the copper piping leading into the cistern. I tried to tighten...

I have a dishwasher that I can't plumb to a sink (renting and it's not an option) so I wanted to know what adapters I can use to convert my hose to go to my dishwasher. Please see images for what I have. Is it possible? Tia

Thanks in advance for any advice. have moved recently into new house (London hard water area) and want to install a second garden bib tap to serve the front garden. No issue there can take a run of pipe within the garage to the front. Ive noticed though the tap at the back garden is run off...

I am making a wood fired hot tub using an ibc and a cast iron water jacket from an old oil boiler system. I'll be connecting the jacket to the ibc using 22mm copper pipes. I am keeping it simple in the hope the convection will circulate the water and I won't need a pump....if this doesn't work...

Hi everyone, Found your forum after a quick google. I was wondering if you could advise me on how I can fix my garden hose outlet. I have zero experience with plumbing, but have done a bit of diy so have a decent set of tools to work with. I just moved into a new home some months ago and what...
