I bought a torch a few years ago that uses EN417 butane/propane cylinders. As someone who only uses a torch now and again, the torch has been fine on smaller copper pipe but struggles on 22mm, especially in the cold. I have seen an adaptor by Monument (437a) which I think should allow me to...

Has anyone bought one yet? Going to buy one? Or even leasing one with a view to buy. Probably crazy to buy one now as the price is only going to come down I guess. Thoughts? Cheers

The drain cock on my water cylinder is very close to the ground and is obscured by piping installed by the previous owner. The spigot is at the bottom but, try as I might, I can find nothing to tighten it. Can anyone offer any advice ? Thanks

Hi Everyone, I was wondering whether a professional plumber would use a tape to seal a leak temporarily so you have time to actually carry out the repair/ purchase parts? How often do you use a tape for sealing a leak temporarily? What type of tape would you use for this kind of job? Duct...

I'm looking for a quality robust sealant between rubber bathroom flooring and sanitary ware as well as gap filling between floor and skirting, it's not a wet room but needs to go off hardish and be easy to clean. Does CT1 fit the bill?

After the plumber changed the expansion vessel, the boiler was leaking even worse leading it to being condemned. It is quite old, so I suspect it was on its last legs anyway. Still, he was banging it quite a lot, and I just wanted to check there was a good reason for him to do so. Thanks.
