    HBP Fittings - demountable?

    HBP Fittings - demountable?

    Alkathene mains

    Guys, Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. It'll be a day or 2 before I get to it. The one thing that is concerning me is there is on about 5"/5.5" or pipe to play with and most of that is close to the skirting which I could take it off I suppose. I'll let you all know how I get on :-)
