Hello all. I can’t stand my dripping tap any longer so trying to replace a cartridge. It’s a mono block mixer tap in the kitchen.
I can take the headgear off no problem but the cartridge is recessed inside the tap housing - can’t a spanner to it, and it doesn’t look like there’s enough...
Hi
Just bought a new Franke valve but once I took the cover off it appears to be different to what I expected - no hex nut, just two slots. Where can I find a tool to remove the old one - looked every but can't find one plus is there a 'normal' valve underneath this? Photo attached if anyone...

Anyone seen the adverts for this in Installer magazine?
It reminds me of the Betterware hammer that had a hollow handle and dispensed the nails to make driving nails a one-handed job. Which I also didn't buy.

Hello guys,
I just wanted to share with you a thing I made. I myself am an IT engineer often doing callouts, or home visits if you prefer. I was fed up with the amount of time I waste by going to the client only to find, that the fix is trivial and I could have solved it on the phone, or that I...
