Hi, just trying to get an opinion on some plumbing the bathroom/kitchen fitter is in the process of fitting for our new sink, shower & rad.
First pic is cold supply coming in through the wall from the toilet next door. There are double joists right under the stud wall, hence coming in hidden in...
Hi all, I’ve just installed a two pipe central heating system and need a pressure test. However JG require a wet test at 2 bar then at 10 bar with the pipe disconnected from the rads and boiler.
I should have probably thought about this earlier but I can’t think how I’m going to fill the pipes...
Just bought a new kitchen tap, and then I found the screw of the kitchen tap won’t fit to any joint of the under sink pipes, I realised these connectors are called speedfit?
Please, any expert can give me some advice that what kind of adapter / connector i should buy to connect the new tap...
Hi Everyone
We have a cold water 15mm pipe that routes through the upstairs floor cavity between the joists, over some electrical connections with fuse box below (including socket ringmain connectors) and then after another 400mm turns 90deg (bend/curve without fittings) and then goes through...
Good Morning.....
I am replacing the rads in our house and a couple have plastic pipe to them, just found out it is Marley Equator pipe, and the speed fit inserts are not the correct size, I may be able to force them in, but I can't get leverage on it to do that, if I buy a few Marley inserts...
Hello,
I have a wireless underfloor system controlled by altech receivers and transmitters. There is also a JG speedfit control board and distribution board. As soon as the transmitter connects to the receiver, a green light turns on and the actuator valves on a manifold attempt to turn on. As...

What pressure should i dry test at?
Can i dry test the radiators, coil, drain cocks and manual air valve as well? (I'm isolating the boiler and pump using isolation valves).

Hi,
I need to plumb speedfit pipes around some metal joists without drilling into them. Should i protect the plastic pipe with something to prevent it rubbing on the metal joists?
Also, what would you recomend to attach/clip the pipe?
Thanks,
Colin

I'm currently replumbing central heating using speedfit pipe. I've hit a trick corner to work in and space is very tight. Is it ok to use cable ties instead of a pipe clip on speedfit pipe?
Hi,
I have a blocked 10mm pipe to a Towel Rad. I have both ends disconnected (distribution manifold and Rad) but cant get any flow through it. I have tried mains hose on to one end, but it seems to hold firm.
Its never works since I've been in the house (18 months) and the property is aprox...
I'm after a little advice; I'm changing a radiator and need to extend a plastic pipe that is mounted behind dot and dab plasterboard. I don't really fancy channeling out all the pipe back to the joint; but I haven't been able to find any reference on the internet about jointing "in-wall" and...

Hi
Can anyone advise of what fitting is required to connect the pictured flexi pipe to a 15mm copper pipe? The diameter of the nut end is 28mm.
Thanks in Advance
I have added a new radiator and pipework but unfortunately I have a joist that is directly below where I need a 15mm elbow to connect up to the radiator. I have used plastic speedfit piping and fittings throughout which means if I notch out the joist the notch would be too big as the plastic...
Gentlemen,
I need to move a kitchen sink including pipes and washing machine tap.
I have cut the existing copper pipes at the first convenient place and temporarily put speedfit stop ends on.
As I get a slight trickle of water I will probably connect to the pipe ends with compression or...
