While we setup in 2006 as a UK-only plumbing forum, we switched to an international domain name mid-2019. Whilst we have over 13,000 members only around 10,000 are UK-based. So we have plenty of help and advice from fellow Americans these days. Just post a new question in this forum, and one of our regular members will reply and 'tag in' a local member who will be up to speed on local regulations, rules, plumbing terminology etc. Thanks for being a member here on PlumbersForums.net..
