The copper tails are MUCH better than flexis and those look to be twisted slightly and clearly bent

Agreed, have always used these without any problems. ;)

Centre hole in the flexis coupling is massively restrictive. They're going in the bin too.

Excellent :y
Feeling quietly confident that you may have a working tap once the flex connectors and the non-return valve(s) have been eliminated :y

Ah yes, now then, well... Yes and no.

What happened was...

We had the plumber round to remove the downstairs cloakroom sweet. Water off. Removed sink and wc. Water on. "See you in a weak", when he's going to fit the new suite after the floor is done, replace the flexis on said tap, hoover the limescale out of the water tank and a few other jobs, and off he went.

Bit of spluttering from the taps in the house as the water comes through. Pump is now quieter...

...and the tap? Has been absolutely faultless ever since.

Dunno. :-\


Only thing with the cloakroom plumbing was the hot water tap on the sink wouldn't flow when open. You'd get a trickle, but it would tail of to nothing. So maybe there was an air lock in there somewhere affecting things. He said the tap guts where bunged up.


But all is well now. Weird.

See how it goes when the cloakroom is re plumbed. :-\

No, just wondered on how you had got on as it is a long thread with much advice and was hoping where the thread died without a conclusion, that you had managed to fix it.  :y

Just me being nosey in not hearing a conclusion, where it is a bit like the doorbell ringing and you missing the last 2 all is revealed minutes in a film.  ???

Ah yes, the story continue dont worry...

Well. Slowly. As we've been on Holybobs on my last off shift bog all has happened or will happen, for what will have been 3 weeks. No ,mv8 project, no plumbing, no decorating, no car work, nout.

Oh hang on, she tells me the cloakroom floor is being re screeded tomorrow, Lino down Saturday. Then the plumber can crack on. He has a bloody easy job, and I could have done it. But simply don't have the time. :(

Right.

Plumbing to the cloakroom sink is back is back on. And the kitchen tap....

Well, any guesses? There's only two options. ;)

He hasn't plumbed the wc yet.
