Burst Pipe Season!

[Guest123]

The Met office are forecasting a long and very cold winter over December and January.

Stock up on your kit now while demand is normal. Compression fittings, usually make a good and quick repair. Don't forget those imperial compression rings too and lots of foam insulation in various sizes.

Bathroom I'm installing just now has 6 bar of working pressure, and that's the hot water system. Imagine relying on a flexible hose to last long term on that.

It does, body jets and drench head shower working the best I've ever installed.. I had to fit PRV's at the basin to stop the tap water splashing over the front.

Agreed, also stock up on slip couplings an absolute life saver if your in tight squeeze with no play on the pipe.
Whilst were at it get some snow grips for your boots coz your not paying the bills if your in A & E !!

 

[Plumbus]

Socks over boots is best....old hat I know but works.

 

[stevetheplumber]

on frozen pipes you cant beat the old socket former but to be honest we dont see that many bursts nowdays in london dry lofts due to combis virtually every where has heating and better insulation everywhere .just the occasional outside tap blown off

 

[electron]

Don't think it gets cold down London as it does in the "Frozen North." :smile:

 

[PlumbBobBob]

even if it snows and freezes down here after a couple of days it's all gone

I need the cold weather to wait, and if the met office says cold then it probably won't be.
