pipe
A smoking pipe is used to inhale the smoke of a burning substance; most common is a tobacco pipe, which can also accommodate almost any other substance. Pipes are commonly made from Briar, Heather, corn, meerschaum, clay, cherry, glass, porcelain, ebonite and acrylic.
Hello all,
I realised yesterday that I now have a massive leak coming from the where the pipe below the sink goes into the wall. Every time water is used (sink, washing machine, dishwasher), it leaks from the junction of the pipe / wall. You can see on the pictures that there is some gross...
I've got a leak at the connector next to the p trap under my bath at point 1. on my attached photo.
I unscrewed it and pipe A hardly goes into pipe B - it's almost flush with the start of B. Assume the rubber seal (can't spell) has failed - there's not much chance of water passing through...
Hello,
I am converting a house into 11 flats run by electric only.
Each flat will have a kitchen and a mini electric boiler to power the sink and the shower.
We were told by a plumber that we would require a 50mm diameter supply from the water board, this is quoted at £11,000.
We have also...
I had a history at my home with the oring failing on my tub spout leading to water leaking through the pipe opening in the wall. I had put new o-rings but for extra precaution I sealed up the space around the pipe with thinset.
This was about 10 months ago.
Now I’m wondering if long term this...
Hi there,
Apologies for the mammoth post but my neighbours and I really need some advice...
I recently purchased a flat that was built in 2016. The apartment is still under the NHBC 10yr warranty. Since moving in, I discovered that the rainwater pipe that runs through my winter garden balcony...
Hi there,
I recently purchased a flat that was built in 2016. The apartment is still under the NHBC 10yr warranty. Since moving in, I discovered that the rainwater pipe that runs through my winter garden balcony at one end of the property is connected to a combined water/sewage system with the...
Hi all sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. We have bought our house and the shower has packed in.. all I know is that it is a multi steam shower...
Imoulled it out and think I need a few things replacing but I don't know where to look or what I am even looking for... the area we are is...
All,
Belfast, Northern Ireland. I am in a bit of a predicament. I have recently had a stove fitted in a chimney that had a disconnected and capped gas fire. The old gas line went straight out the back wall and was visibly capped a short distance from the gas meter. A simple pull out job. Upon...
Hi there,
Have bought an old house and am having the old lead water mains pipe replaced and a new stopcock location/piping installed after massively high readings from water testing by the water company.
Also buying new plastic water tank to start afresh so to speak.
Pipework/joinery looks to...
Hi I have a problem with my flexible pipes on my sink. They need replacing but we are going on holiday so won't be able to get this done till we get back. Is it safe to leave isolation valve turned off on flexible pipe connected taps for a longer period as it will be 2 weeks? Will it cause any...
I have an overflow pipe (standard diameter 21.5mm) sticking out through a hole in a white uPVC fascia board at our house, but the overflow pipe is no longer required and could be removed. However, before removing it, I need some way of capping the hole - a white barrel plug, for example. Does...
Hi all,
Flicking through my instructions for my Macerator flo force and it says “discharge pipe length before first elbow 0.5m”
Having a look at other brands I can’t see this rule so wondered how important it is?
My plan was to drop 0.1m then use 2 45degress into a 1.5m horizontal run. Would...
Hi
I’ve got a blockage somewhere that’s preventing the GCH bathroom towel rail from heating. Plumber has offered to try and resolve it at £100/hour.
It sounds like there’s no guarantee the blockage can be found and/or fixed. So I could be pouring money down the drain trying to resolve the...
Hi All,
I need your advise as I'm really concerned here. I only just had regular boiler replaced with combi (Vaillant ecoFIT Pure 25kw). I had few surveys done and everyone stated the gas supply pipe from the meter to the boiler must be changed from current 15mm to 22mm. The plumber I used said...
Hi, just wondered if anyone has been through the same situation? My neighbour wants to turn her garden into a car park for lodgers and has bought an expensive sports car. We can currently fit a normal size car down the driveway but the sports car is bigger than a normal size car.
She has now...
Hi there
Could someone help identify the waste pipe (think that's what it is) coming from the bottom of the basin/plug hole, feeding into the other pipes?
It has a leak where it connects to the bottom of the basin, so I'm thinking about replacing it if it's a standard part.
If so can you tell...
Following a first-floor bathroom remodel done poorly by a plumber in our house a couple of years ago I have stripped everything out and I'm starting over and plan to install our original 'vision' carefully and properly. I found that the 110mm vent stack was terminated just below a hole in the...
Water is flowing through my central heating expansion pipe even when cold with the pump running. Hot water flows through it when the system is heated. Pump has been replaced but still happens
I took the boxing out from around this toilet yesterday to find this old style clay(?) or concerete (?) soil pipe. The existing toilet has a 90 deg spigot on the back but obviously the replacement is a nomal modern one. Can I just break the solid seal around the old spigot, whip it out and then...
