pipe
A smoking pipe is used to inhale the smoke of a burning substance; most common is a tobacco pipe, which can also accommodate almost any other substance. Pipes are commonly made from Briar, Heather, corn, meerschaum, clay, cherry, glass, porcelain, ebonite and acrylic.
I am doing some work for a client which involves moving some pipe work for the underfloor heating. They would like it moved the adjacent wall so they can install a washing machine in the cupboard. I have included a picture below of the fixtures and the walls.
Question is, can it simply be moved...
Hi
Looking to 'crowd-source' some public opinion on this one.
I bought a studio apartment on 30th September 2022 and I'm currently working with contractors to refurbish it. I'm 39 and it is my only property (I'm no property tycoon).
Next door's bathroom is on the other side of the wall to my...
I have a issue which I’m assuming is an airlock in the return pipe just above the boiler. The pipes go up and over and then enter the boiler at the bottom. The boiler fires up normally but the heat doesn’t get far and the the pipes next to the boiler make like a fluffing noise. I’m not the most...
Hi, In the process of a new build and we have routed a MDPE pipe through a lintel in the DPC but unable to bend it to the correct location due to the bend radius. I have now made the bend radius suitable for the bend but the pipe has no support underneath. Will it be better to put in a 90 degree...
I moved my boiler to the loft. I think it's 22mm pipes up there but they are close together and need lagging (they shouldn't be I know but oh well wrong tradesmen did the installation)
I'm looking for Armaflex 0.6mm thick 22m pipe borehole.
I'm not a regular DIYer but wanted to know if...
Hi I have attached some images of the current pipe which is cast iron and always getting blocked. It serves as the waste pipe for bath and sink, I have tried to flush it out with a jet wash but it failed to break through what ever is stuck.
I am happy to go ahead and replace it but would like...
My backyard became very wet over the past year.
Today i did some digging and found this
orange rectangular pipe underneath a gravel layer underneath the top soil.
Its rectangular not round.
It is very hard not plastic.
It bends at 90 degree and the corner has a huge crack with water...
Hi, I would be grateful for any advice regarding regulations on installing vent pipe. My landlord has recently hired a handy man who installed a vent pipe for him but he installed it in a way that is it placed on the outside wall, only 50cm under our window (1st floor window). It feels to me...
Hi All,
I’m installing an ufh system using procrate and 16mm ufh pipe. The procrate is laid on top of insulation but I’m finding that at each bend and return the pipe is either pulling out of the procrate or the procrate is lifing up. What am I doing wrong? This is the 3rd system I’ve installed...
Hi folks,
I have a problem with an airlock forming every time the overhead tank becomes empty.
Even when I fill the overhead tank to the brim, the water in the household outlets comes at a very low speed.
By experimenting, I found that there are two ways to fix the problem each time there is...
The en-suite sink waste pipe gets clogged up every few years with gunk (tootpaste, soap, etc). This was installed by a professional plumber and he is long gone.
I took apart the U bend, but it was clean. I then smashed a very large tile and found the pipe behind was nearly horizontal going into...
Hi,
I'm doing an automatic irrigation project with Arduino, which is connected to a solenoid valve which has male 3/4'' threading for water input and output (this solenoid valve - product page in Italian, sorry). I need to connect the output to a 16mm polyethylene pipe, and searching online I...
Hi Everyone,
Can anyone tell me what the pipe (with the blue isolator) is in between the pump and the motorised ch/hw valve? And should it be open or closed?
Recently had to isolate and drain the central heating system to replace some pipe work, turned everything back on, bled, balanced and...
Hi
I'm in process of completing a loft conversion and need some advice on the location of a boss adapter for the shower waste. Can a boss adapter be fixed to a 4" soil pipe at 45 degrees as shown in the pictures? My main concern is that the entry to the soil pipe is on the side and with the...
Hi all,
I'm due to fit a condense pump on a boiler install. I'd love an easy install.
The little plastic pipe from the condense pump obviously goes up first. But after that? Can I get away with a short (3m) horizontal run before I run it into the soil stack? Or would I be pushing my luck...
