tails

Tails, or The Amnesic Incognito Live System, is a security-focused Debian-based Linux distribution aimed at preserving privacy and anonymity. It connects to the Internet exclusively through the anonymity network Tor. The system is designed to be booted as a live DVD or live USB, and leaves no digital footprint on the machine unless explicitly told to do so. It can also be run as a virtual machine, with some additional security risks. The Tor Project provided financial support for its development in the beginnings of the project, and continues to do so alongside numerous corporate and anonymous sponsors.

    Tap tails and isolation valve roblem.

    Hi all. I'm after some help... I hope I can be clear enough... After being in 9 years our bathroom basin tap started dripping. It's a single mixer tap, one with a lever that you move left or right for hot or cold water. I realised it wasn't like the ones we had in the old days where you took...

All the valves I can find have 1/2ā€ bsp Threads both sides, but I either need TRVs with one side to match the tails, or a reduced for the rad. Any...

    Sealing monobloc tap tails

    I use Loctite 55 thread for sealing half-inch and similar BSP male screw-threads. But when fitting a monobloc tap with the tiny 10mm threaded tails where the Loctite thread looks too fat, should I rely on the O-ring (with a dab of silicon lube) for sealing, one turn of PTFE, a smear of Loctite...

    8mm tails for monobloc mixer?

    I've a customer having bought a Bathstore ex-display monobloc tap. It had no tails, and I got some 8mm flexi, hoping they'd fit (10mm too large). The dia *feels* right (deeply recessed fitting), but only turns a fraction leading me to think the thread is incorrect. Any advice what I should be...

    Monobloc tap tails

    I've just fitted a monobloc basin tap. There were tails supplied with it but it impossible to tighten them with a spanner as the ends are sunk up inside the tap. On the instructions that came with the tap the tails are shown with what looks like a couple of inches of rigid section to connect to...

    Tap tails to 15mm copper

    Good morning gentlemen. Tomorrow I'm replacing the kitchen mixer tap with a new Chinese one (Cooke & Lewis Amsel) which has 300mm flexy tails with female ends. Because these are longer than the existing rigid tails, I'll be needing new connectors for the 15mm copper feeds which I'll be...

    Using existing copper M10 tails for push fit connection

    Hi all Is it possible to cut existing M10 copper tails feeding existing monobloc tap at the 15mm section and then connect push fit M10 tap flexies? Reason I ask is that the original M10 copper tails are eminating from two compression 15mm isolation valves with a lot of other pipework in the...

    Water Hammer since installing push fit tap tails

    Today I installed some push fit plastic tap tails under the sink. This replaced the previous flexible hose (4 in total joined together by last owner - don't know why). I also installed some push fit appliance taps that will go to a water filter and a dishwasher. Ever since when any tap in the...

    Connecting flexible tap tails to isolation valve

    Hi all. Just discovered the flexible tap tails are too short to reach the isolation valves by about 60mm. When I did the same type of job at my house, I learnt that using a tap tail connector is better than connecting directly to the iso valve, with its sharp edge. However, these are too short...

    Where to get short, 8mm thread copper tails?

    This dam basin Iā€™m fitting is for a particularly fussy customer. Its a corner, wall hung basin. He does not want to see the pipework, and Iā€™m not putting the flexi tails that came with it connected in the wall like Iā€™ve seen others do. All I need are a pair of copper tails (readily available) -...

    Help! Tap tails to isolation valve.

    Hi. I am in the process of changing a sink unit. You'll have to bear with me because I don't know all the precise terms. I have the flexible hose that leads from the tap (I believe it's called a tap tail) and it connects to the msima via a nut. I wish to connect it to an isolation valve...

    Is there a benefit of using one over the other on radiator tails? Only ask as I have a couple of cast iron rads to fit and manufacturer says LSX over PTFE

    Do people tend to just screw thi s in hand tight. I no a lot of instructions say this. I do tend to like giving a tiny nip up after if they is space to get a spanner in.

    rad valve

    Does the compression nut on a rad valve need to be all the way on to the rad tail? Or can it just be on just over the olives depth? Have one that the pipes are exiting the wall and are 5/10mm out
