    Can't unscrew kitchen tap-water valve in order to replace it...

    Hey guys, I have a one-exit water valve under the sink leading to the cold tap above. I'd like to replace it with a multi-exit valve so that I can connect the dishwasher to the main water-line. Fine, I thought. I've got myself a multi-exit valve and just need to remove the old one. This is where...

    Is it safe to just unscrew the nut that connects a pex pipe directly with a tap?

    I tried to replace a couple of taps but surprisingly they are screwed directly to the pex piping instead to the flexible tap connectors. I'm no expert so I don't know if I can proceed as normal. I'm hesitant to just unscrew the nut because it looks like a permanent fitting glued to the pex and...

    Possible problem with the Central Heating Pump

    Hi, I have recently changed two radiators in my house. Due to a leak I had to drain the system and then refill. Upon restarting the boiler I have now a ticking/grinding noise which is coming from the pump, and no heating or hot water. The boiler is firing up, the programmer appears to be in...

    Leaky Carron Phoenix Zinia Tap

    Hi, Does anyone have any experience of the Carron Phoenix Zinia tap? We have a leaky one - and after some searching I have managed to get a replacement cartridge (the tap hasn't been made for a few years and the cartridges are no longer made). However, I'm unable to dismantle the tap! The...

    Help needed removing aerator.

    trying to remove the aerator on the mixer tap in my bath. No obvious means to remove it, it's a male connector and is flush with the tap. No obvious notch to insert a screwdriver in. Have tried some needle nose pliers on it but any more force will break the spokes. Some bad pictures to show you...

    Can't Unscrew Kitchen Tap Cover

    See two photos. Hot tap on left keeps dripping, even a continuous flow sometimes. We've managed to get the top off and can see the ceramic cartridge inside, but we can't unscrew the next vertical body section (think it's called "the shield) to get at it. Amazingly, there's no indentations...

    Hi, I have an old Pegler cold tap. The top has four prongs and a small plastic circle in the middle, but there's no grub screw to unscrew. Will there be a screw under the plastic circle? It seems difficult to remove (bloody impossible, actually) without completely wrecking it. Or should the...
