    What tool bag are people using

    As Simon says; cheap black bucket for me although I’ve used some 1 1/2 white plastic and cable ties to create ‘holders’ so it’s semi organised. Lasted me about 4 years... when it goes it’s a quid for a new one

    White hairy material around towel heater pipe joint: asbestos?

    Kitchen plumbing help

    You’re welcome... it’s what we’re here for Probably needed some ptfe tap on the fitting screwfix gave you to seal the thread although you’d still be stuck with a 1/2 bsp connection and 15mm compression though? That’s exactly what he should have done:)

    Kitchen plumbing help

    The drawing makes a lot more sense! Although majorly over complicated for what it really needs to be... The link to the fitting would work without the nut and olive on the 15mm end. However it isn’t the correct way that fitting should be used. End of. You could however used that fitting and a...

    Kitchen plumbing help

    I would personally change the set up, from what I can make out (the picture from above didn’t help much) try taking it in front of the pipe work? However the thread is 3/4 hence why the assumed 1/2 flexi won’t fit. A 3/4 female to 1/2 male reducer like this DZR Brass Pipe Adaptor 3/4" to 1/2"...

    Milwaukee SDS Cordless

    Bosch battery sds for me. Used daily for Atleast 2 and a bit years and hasn’t missed a beat yet. For 4 inch cores and the like I used a cheap Titan corded drill from screwfix Like 60ish quid and no issue returns for when it gives up the ghost. Admittedly fairly bulky though.

We recommend City Plumbing Supplies, BES, and Plumbing Superstore for all plumbing supplies.
