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.

    Top and bottom radiator tails

    Hi Guys, I am currently working on a site, that has to connect radiator using the top and bottom method. Does it matter where the flow goes, I was always told it should go to the top, but my contract manager says it does not matter as the TRV's are bidirectional.

    radiator extension piece

    Anyone know of a good make that does not leak. I know it's pretty much a diy fix but the client wants it done this way rather than a drain down. They are behind raditor covers so won't be seen.

    Replacing old radiator tails

    Hi,(first post-slightly nervous...) I have old imperial size radiators and need to replace the valves (all 5 are different, most leak, and 1 is rusted to the point of disintegration). The rads themselves look fine, and if possible I'd prefer not to modify the pipework. I've taken out the old...

    Monobloc tails

    Just bought an Instinct Chi monobloc basin tap. The M12 tails fit to the block approx 50mm inside the base. My question is - Do I need to strip down the tap in order to fit the tails due to the very limited access for spanner? Is there a special tool that I need? Any help much appreciated.

    Anyone got a good technique for draining rad with frozen tails

    And not getting water on freezing clamps/heads? Sometimes if tails are short and/or tight against wall it's difficult to get a rag in between or tray under union.

    Towel Radiator Tappings

    Does anyone else frequently get problems with the 1/2" Tappings on towel radiators. 90% of the ones I have seen are dog rough, usually a really slack thread, and often leak no matter how much jointing compound you put on. I generally just use PTFE or loctite on the valve tails, is there...
