    Hep20 removal not working

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. That's the meat of the question. I'm an enthusiastic amateur and made a mess of measuring the hot and cold supply under a new sink I was installing and had to remove them. I guess in the professional world the quote would be "measure twice cut once" (or...

    Hep20 removal not working

    Thanks for the prompt reply. I can force the metal insert out (if accessible) do you think that would damage the inner workings? What about the metal removal tool, do you have any experience of that?

    Hep20 removal not working

    I've bought the new Hep20 Hep Key Plus. When I use it (twisting and pulling at the same time), the pipe comes out but most times the metal insert is left in the fitting. Any help would be appreciated

    Why is this pipe facing downwards?

    Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll arrange for it to be cut off at the stack outside. In the meantime, I presume blocking the lead pipe with foam and silicone will do no harm?

    Applying tile adhesive

    Ben-gee, I couldn't agree more as far as tiling in wet areas is concerned. I'm just a retired guy labouring to an old friend. I've watched several videos on how to tile a bathroom properly (Roger Bisby and others). If I showed my mate your advice he'd just shrug his shoulders and carry on...

    Thanks for the replies. Where do I find the "Tilers Forum" on this site?

    Applying tile adhesive

    Thanks for the reply. Do you mean apply adhesive to the wall and back butter each tile?

    Applying tile adhesive

    Hi, I'm retired, not a plumber but a keen DIYer. I occasionally help a mate who is a one man band - he is a qualified sparky and has taught himself domestic plumbing. His main line of work is refurbishing bathrooms and I labour to him for a couple of days. We constantly disagree about...
