Hello all,

I was fixing a stuck tap in my garden today, and after turning the isolator back on a coupler further along the pipe work started leak.

The coupler has hex nut screw so I decided to try tightening it, that didn't work and more water started to come out.

After isolating the water again, I fully removed the screw and its thread doesn't match the threaded hole in the coupler.

I have wrapped the screw in PTFE tape and put it back, but I would like to get a replacement screw.

I have attached a picture of the coupler (Sorry if that is the wrong term)

Can someone help please?

Double check valve

If you replace the old DCV with a new one make sure it's fitted inside and not outside. And with the arrow pointing in the direction of flow. Basic info but important.

Hole in copper pipe, solder under floor, T coupling & protection
I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
