Hi, I was wondering if I could bother you guys for a little help.
I am having problems with a victoria plumb back to wall unit that i purchased. My plumber has been struggling all day and eventually told me that the gear I have bought is not fit for purpose. I called them tonight to see if any help could be given but their technical team is not back until Jan 2. I am trying to get him some advice in the meantime.
The unit I have is the odessa ( not allowed to post links as a new user ? )
I also have the pan pictured and their standard concealed cistern.
These are the issues:
The unit has no removable front panels, so once the cistern is in there is no room for my plumber to get his hand down to help connect the flush or waste pipes or check for leaks.
The pan waste seems to be tapered, so that once a flexi connection pipe is pushed on, within 30 seconds it just pops off again. The website states a flexi pipe is suitable for all their pans.
The coupling nut that connects the flush pipe to the cistern tightens up as much as possible, but still allows enough movement for the pipe to come loose. My plumber tells me they usually come with a fibre washer, but not this one.
Has anyone had any dealings with this gear before, or can offer any advice ?
My best solution would be for one of their representatives to have an on site meeting with my plumber, but after talking to their advice monkeys on the phone, i'm not holding my breath.
Help anyone ? Oh, and season's greetings !
