Hi all, looking for a bit of advice. I have a lovely Grohe kitchen mixer. Sadly, after many years of use, the main O ring seal on the swivel has perished and leaking badly. I've descaled her as much as possible but I am unable to release I guess, the threaded, upper part to expose the O ring. Do...
HI, i qualified as a plumber in 1999 but have had a career in welding since ( i discovered quickly I didn't like plumbing but stayed to finish my qualification rather than waste those years ), so while I'm not a complete novice, I'm not exactly at the cutting edge !
I am refurbing and bought a...
Hello,
I wish to purchase Hansgrohe single lever shower mixers for concealed installation for my bathrooms and I wanted to ask about the differences between the iBox (model 01800180) and the smaller version (model 13620180)...
Hi everyone,
At present I have a single one hole mixer tap in the bathroom basin but would like to know is it possible to get a thermostatic mixer tap for a basin? I have a thermostatic shower which is great and the basin tap isn't great and it would be great to install a tap with a...
Tried running the hot tap then checking to see what the water temp of the drip was after and it was cold so to me that means the leak is from the cold water valve side. Replaced the cold water ceramic disc cartridge but the drip is still there (even when I turn off the mains but don't fancy...
Hi,
I have finally decided to swap out the stand alone taps in my bath for a mixer. I have previously been using a Croydex push-fit shower but think it's finally time to upgrade to a proper fitted one.
I have been looking at a deck-mounted thermostatic bath/shower mixer like this Vellamo Echo...
Hello. Currently in the process of changing an electric shower into a thermostatic mixer shower, its a bit of a long story with the builder but the existing shower area was basically bodged in to fit and tiled over concealing a few of the builders hacks into the plasterboard walls and getting...
Hi,
Hopefully someone can shine a light on this!
I have a Triton Eden Concentric Mixer Shower (shown below). For some reason the temperature control becomes increasingly stiff as you turn to the cold range, and I need to "flick" it around with a bit of force to get colder water. This has been...
I need to take out the filters to descale them, however they are behind the brass discs with the slots, but i cant unscrew them for love nor money, is there a special tool or magic trick
One of the cassettes/valves in my bath mixer tap has gone, so I'm trying to get it out. I can remove the handle but am unable to unscrew the bonnet (see photo). I'm using grips but it's not made any easier by it being a sloping surface. I've tried spraying WD-40 and descaler around the base and...
About 10 years ago we had a new mixer shower fitted. However, the most we ever got out of it was a trickle - even from the beginning. At the time I looked up the manufacturers installation instructions and it says that the showerhead needs to be at least 1 m from the bottom of the water tank we...
Trying to fit a mixer tap with this sort of fastening. Bit that goes up inside the tap is like a threaded running nipple but when fully screwed in only 40mm produdes and worktop is 40mm thick so no thread to screw nut onto. I am not even sure of the thread size. Across the flats on the nut...
