    Wet yorkshire fittings

    Hi, my shed recently got flooded and I didn't notice a box of yorkshire fittings under some other stuff. Sat there a while in the wet and now they have some white gunk inside. Looks like it's leached out of the ring of solder. Can I still use these or will they give me trouble? Cheers Justin

    Street fittings

    Hi Sorry this might be a silly question, I'm only a DIY'er. I bought some 22mm elbows by mistake that are 'street fittings' I will be able to use them but it seems to mean using a straight connector as well. What are they normally used for? Thanks for your help. Sticky
