I like your pocket flash light, what is it?

I like your pocket flash light, what is it?

Got mine from Aldi / Lidi £5, same one in Halfords around £15 :60:

 

[stani]

The unilite isn't a £5 or a £15 Halfords think mine cost £30-40, rechargeable led, good but dims after not a long use, I've got a Peli safety that lasts days far better

 

[Paulplumb]

It is indeed a unilite. I have not noticed mine dimming really. i use it for around 30 mins to an hour a time on longer jobs. It then gets plugged into the van for a recharge. The one in the picture is one of the newer 600 lumens torches. It is a cracking bit of kit. What model Peli torch do you have Stani? I will give one a go.

 

[gmartine]

I'm too cheap to be spending that sort of money. I use a cree pencil light for inspection, bright as the sun and cheap as I have a few dotted about the place. Can take a few weeks to arrive from China though...

[stani]

Sorry Paul for delay.

I use this because I know where ever I am I can keep my own torch with me, no little hitler telling me it's not the right class etc.

Silicone always fixes leaks.....

Not.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

easier and quicker to fit a brass ended fluidmaster or other make

You've got to admire the resolve and determination to make it work..

I bought a tile cutter like that a few years ago. Every tile was wonky. Took the cheap pos back

 

[rpm]

Took a double take when I walked in and saw this cistern feed arrangement and don`t get me started on the sani discharge pipe!

 

[Paulplumb]

Don't think I posted this one already. Bit tight in there

[Paulplumb]

Good job it's being sured up by that bit of speedfit

 

[Alex Knight]

When in doubt get the mastik out

 

[Sparkgap]

Had a problem at a site where they had limited roof space above a kitchen, canopy was too small and original inline extract fan wasn't up to the job. Replaced it with a biga$$ roof fan and got manufacturers to extend the canopy to where it should be. Sent testing bod down to check all is working proper like......

Testing bod: "I've got a problem with the kitchen canopy, the extract rate sucks."
Me: "Try testing it with the grease filters out"
Testing bod: "Why can I see roof timbers?"

I like the insulation Folie 🙂

 

[Crinkmeister]

It's fine, that plastic sheet will protect it!! 😀

 

[ShaunCorbs]

saw this on another forum

 

[Leo21]

Don't know what's worse, someone fitting an Ariston, or someone that couldn't be arsed to cut the flue.

 

[spanner]

Could have done with an Ariston flue kit
Then..
He's not got a gradual fall from boiler housing.
All condense must be weeping from flu outlet spigot

 

[Sparkgap]

Hey! Perhaps he's undersized the boiler and now has to slap 18" of external insulation to get the house warm again! 😀

Gravity solar pre-heat to cylinder feed cistern (lid removed for clarity). (No vent as such from solar, but very small low-power design, so no risk of boiling). Vent from DHW cylinder is 1/2" copper into side of cistern. Draw-off to cylinder is from the bottom (coldest part) of pre-warmed feed cistern. Ballcock is on far side so literally impossible to get access to replace washer. Plastic CWSC hung on wires through ceiling from scaffold poles above ceiling. Improvised overflow hopper made from washing-up bottle. This photo doesn't do the installation justice, but it's a start.

Guess the fact that you directed the photo my way means it is to do with macerators therefore I see six (?) individual discharge pipes where one would do. Unless there are other reasons that can`t be seen of course. 🙄
