I a fitting a bathroom basin which is semi recessed into units. I picked up a simple bottle trap but when I looked at the height of the outlet it would go straight through the bracing bar on the back of the unit. I have put an outlet hole in the wall about two inches lower to avoid the bracing...

I own a house with a downstairs toilet but no sink. I would like to add a sink to the room but I have no way of getting rid of the waste water. Is it possible to connect the waste from the sink to the toilet outlet pipe. I have looked for connectors in diy stores but can not see anything...

Need to change a hopper and down-pipe for a customer that are falling to bits. Not done this before but looks pretty straightforward - famous last words.
Checked online sizes and prices. I'm guessing it's soil pipe rather than rainwater downpipe? It's for 3 waste pipes to terminate in as they...

Hi,
Is there any reason why an isolating service valve w/ fibre washer should struggle to make a seal where it connects to the thread of a part 2 ball valve?
First one I tried dribbled. Second one did too. So wrapped some PTFE round ball-valve thread and got it in the end. Pretty sure...
I have changed the ballcock in my loft tank recentley. I shut of the service valve and changed the ballcock, turned the service valve back. When I changed the arm the loft tank was empty.

Hi, This is a toilet bowl, which was not properly installed - there seem to be gaps in the silicone, where the bowl connects to the waste pipe, which looks like some kind of uralite to me. In fact there doesn't seem to be any leaking, but there is some odour. So I was thinking of some easy way...
I'm a diy'er but dome some plumbing before and I'm trying to fit a 20mm x 15mm adaptor. The problem is I can't get the olive to slide over the pipe and neither will the pipe slide inside the body of the adaptor. I thought I had been given the wrong size adaptor but the pipe stiffener which came...
