Hi, I have an opening on the 'manifold' (I think that's what its called) on my soil pipe. It appears to be a non-standard size - about 51mm internally.
I'm trying to connect a 40mm floplast solvent weld pipe, and can't find a boss adaptor that even nearly fits.
I can't cut a new hole above...

Hi folks, sorry to have to post this but we got a new bathroom a few months ago and the toilet seat was loose at one side. The cistern is integrated and the seat is top-fixing. I assumed it was quick release but couldn't find a button to push, there are no little grommit hidden screws or...

I replaced some plastic pipes and fittings on my mains inlet under the sink with copper today. First time ever attempting plumbing, but it seems ok with no leaks. At first it was all hunky dory, but I later noticed my water pressure had gone down. I’ve attached a pic. The section from the check...

Hi All
Newbie so please bear with. We are selling our old house - built 1880. The purchaser has shared their survey report which states that the pipe work in the loft is of DIY standard. This was done before we bought house 10 years ago, and everything works fine but obviously I have to try and...
Hello, I'm a DYI'er and I've recently installed 2 gravity water tanks at my residence. Both the tanks have the same inlet and outlet both connected to each other via a "Tee" connection.
