please
Please is a word used in the English language to indicate politeness and respect while making a request. Derived from shortening the phrase "if you please" or "if it please(s) you", the term has taken on substantial nuance based on its intonation and the relationship between the persons between whom it is used. In much of the Western world, use of the word is considered proper etiquette, and parents and authority figures often imprint upon children the importance of saying "please" when asking for something from an early age, leading to the description of the term as "the magic word".
Hello,
Have had a leak on my UFH manifold. Originally incorrectly diagnosed as being the nuts/washer to the pump, it now looks like it's coming from this thermostatic valve.
Have tried googling "ufh thermostatic valve" and none of them look like this or have connectors like this (guessing part...
Desperate to sort this chaps. I’ve installed a boss strap today and the bloody thing is leaking. I glued it as normal and cleaned it up so I’m unsure what the issue is. Any advice for the easiest fix please?
Hi - trying to replace this quarter-turn cartridge from kitchen mixer tap but cannot find anything similar online. Spline length 9mm with 28 teeth; overall length 53mm.
Many thanks, Chris.
Hi, I have an opening on the 'manifold' (I think that's what its called) on my soil pipe. It appears to be a non-standard size - about 51mm internally.
I'm trying to connect a 40mm floplast solvent weld pipe, and can't find a boss adaptor that even nearly fits.
I can't cut a new hole above...
Hello, I am fitting a new bathroom, and changing the layout. I've fitted one bathroom before, but I did have issues with smells occasionally, that makes me think I might be fitting the waste system wrong.
Does anyone with experience know, does the below look okay?
I've read on some places...
I need to change some leaking valves and fit another radiator to the system. How long can I safely leave the boiler off and drained before there's an issue with the pump? It purges everyday at roughly the same time, but I doubt I'd get all the work done before it's next purge. It was left...
Hi everyone,
New here & my first post!
I have a Worcester greenstar 24i, it is a conventional boiler, it has a water tank upstairs.
For the past year the hot water when turned on was intermittent. I repressurised the expansion vessel to 1 bar and the hot water switch when turned on worked...
My water stinks. Smells musty. I installed a Whirlpool water softener mid February of this year ('23) and it's smelled ever since.
So here's the story: we live on a farm in southeast PA. Our well is 60' deep with the water table around 10'. Two houses supplied from the same well.
One day I...
Hoping someone can help. I have the bath tap as shown in the picture. I need to get the bit that sticks out (little round handle) off. The tap doesn't turn off properly as it ends up turning all the way to the wall. To get it off I basically have to pull the whole thing forward and push the tap...
Help.
So I’m trying to fit a shower in a bathroom in an old tenement flat in Edinburgh.
Unfortunately the thread on the air off valve has broken (thankfully in the off position) and so will need replaced but I can’t switch the water off from the tank.
I don’t want to flood downstairs obviously...
Hello,
Renovating downstairs bathroom, we have changed the layout and I just wanted to confirm if what I want to do is appropriate.
I want to avoid any gurgling and siphoning. And there is no pretty/accessible space for me to install AAV (maybe under the sink) so I'd like to try without it but...
Hi, can anyone advise regarding getting access to the working mechanism within this tap. It's leaking and I want to change the washer. There's no grub nut around the base and as can be seen there's no access via the top of the tap. I'm thinking that the top skirt will unscrew with the help of a...
My husband is trying to install a Cat Genie, a self-flushing litter box. The box liquifies the cat poop and drains it into the washing machine drain. Our problem is our current drainpipe is only 1.5 inches wide and also made of copper. He is worried about backflow. Do you have any advice for...
Hi, I am getting my old hot water cylinder tank replaced (my property has no boiler as it is a full electric property). My plumber suggested changing to a thermal store. He is a competent plumber but are there any certificates that I need to ask for, is this notifiable work and would you...
We have a bathroom where drainage runs across the house to soil stack.
After shower especially in night when there is high temperature difference between inside and out there is clicking noises that impacts our bedroom (1) and more annoyingly our 3rd olds room (2)!
I am wondering what could be...
Hi All, I have a leaking drain valve off the CW inlet on a Range Cylinder. Am I right in thinking I have to empty the Cylinder below the CW inlet to change the valve? To isolate cold water to the tank to prevent refill, should I just lock off the 1 stop CW inlet or all 3 red stops?
Turn mains...
Hi. I have looked at similar posts but not seen exactly what I'm after ... unvented Gledhill 200l fitted a few months ago. A few weeks after and since most times when we turn on hot water tap in the morning there is a long groaning sound (I have a recording if it helps). Have contacted...
Hi. I'm hoping for some advice. We have a very ancient thermostat for our radiators in a very old building.
This morning there was no heat and the display was blank, so I've changed the batteries and reset, but I can't change the time to allow the program buttons to work.
After the reset...
Hello
I am fitting a kitchen in a new room without services. Looking to tile the floor so everything under the tiles really needs to be fit and forget.
Looking for best advice on fitting drainage for the sink and dishwasher please.
