question
A question is an utterance which typically functions as a request for information, which is expected to be provided in the form of an answer. Questions can thus be understood as a kind of illocutionary act in the field of pragmatics or as special kinds of propositions in frameworks of formal semantics such as alternative semantics or inquisitive semantics. Questions are often conflated with interrogatives, which are the grammatical forms typically used to achieve them. Rhetorical questions, for example, are interrogative in form but may not be considered true questions as they are not expected to be answered.
Hi
My washing machine is 5m away from the water mains copper pipe/valve. I've currently got a long blue inlet hose connecting the washing machine to the copper pipe/valve.
Is this OK or should I get more copper pipe added and then use a shorter blue in let hose to connect the 2?
On bigger shed roof areas would putting 2 spitters close together into a 90 deg bend and T Junction and then downpipe significantly increase the capacity of that length of gutter and downpipe?
On open sheds we run the downpipe down the shed column, and there can be very large sq/m of roof to...
Hi all, I had this installed by a plumber the other day and if I’m honest, I’m not happy really.
All in flexis when i think it could have been rigid and solvent welded . Then a dodgy installed clip at the bend.
I kinda went with it at the time but it doesn’t seem right and I’m going to call...

Hi
I have a leaking joint on my mains supply. The joint is where a metal service pipe is joined to blue mpde. I have never seen a joint like this before. It says it is a 25mm or 3/4”. The joint has a tapered ridged insert but when I put 25mm mpde onto it, it is very loose. Not sure if something...
Hi, I have a conventional heating system consisting of Vaillant ECOfit (vented) and a Joule Cyclone air indirect (unvented) boilers. I had observed last winter that the Vaillant boiler was just used to heat tap water (though it has controls to set temperature for radiators as well) and Joule for...

So that is not the issue. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it now but I would really like to understand how the darn 'touch' 'off' toggle works. It...

I noticed a leak in a toilet in a house I have recently moved into. One of our other toilets is the same but is not leaking from this same "fitting". I gave the leaky one a quick turn to tighten it and it seems to have stopped leaking. Should I have done this, and what is this fitting for...

Hi everyone,
I have bare pipes under the kitchen sink and also in a cupboard next to my bathroom. Is it a good idea to put foam wrap on them and if so should the wrap be on both hot and cold water pipes or just the hot water pipes?
Thank you any advice would be appreciated.
