What pipe diameter would you recommend to feed an unpumped thermostatic shower from a vented hot water cylinder via a new Essex flange? The run is approx 22 meters (up into the loft along and back down), the cylinder is fed via a 28mm cold inlet pipe and the cold water tanks are roughly above...

I am in Thailand.
Plumbing standards are poor.
i had a WC installed by a "professional" actually installed 2x.
The rough in was 220mm and the toilet drop was 305mm.
So the problem is obvious.
1) They dont sell offsets here
2) they "engineered their own offset.
3) It obviously wasnt air...

Had a leak in the shower. Resealed all the edges and sides, but noticed that the chrome drain was loos in the cubicle floor. Can pull it up by about 5mm and it is very loose. Which does not seem right. Is there any way to tighten this? Or is it meant to wobble? Sticking a load of silicone...

Hi,
I have been speaking with the help line at Stuart Turner and the advice they gave to me was to install a monsoon 2.0 bar universal pump to do my whole house. So I am getting one of those.
He also recommended installing a Warix Flange top of my hot water tank, so I will do that also. When...

hi,got a job with a sticking motorised valve and was wonderin if you can just replace the head on it? its a pretty big system and can see it'll take ages to refill so dont wanna drain down if i can avoid it.
just a wondering as to what you guys are using to insulate for example, a 15mm copper pipe , penetrating through brickwork feeding an outside tap , when it is sleeved in 22mm copper.
I always fit an internal iso valve so in winter the tap can be isolated, i always elbow the pipe down into the...

We bought an old house approx 20 months ago and have made no changes to pipes or tanks or cylinders etc. For the last 4 or 5 months we have been experiencing problems with no hot water in our shower caused we think by airlocks in the hot water taps (upstairs and downstairs).
We know how...
