$%*&%@@*+?\ Plumbing

[SirKit Breaker]

Why is plumbing always a complete and total ball ache? Its taken me 3 bloody hours to replace like for like the shower mixer tap thing in the kitchen, all the bloody fittings were different, endless trips to the merchant for a half inch this and 3 quarter that, female to female whatnots, they speak a completely alien language in the plumbing world. He asked me if was a 3/4, i said i haven't a bloody clue, but i want 2 of them and all i know is the old ones don't fit and they are copper!

Cheers……………Howard

I can't understand what all the fuss is about. It's only a bit of pipe and a couple of fittings. :devil2:

I've had the same before Howard. The only way I get it working is to re plumb it all.

Saying that I had a central heating system fitted last year and the corgi registered all singing all dancing plumbob gas man didn't think about bothering installing the metal insert in the plastic crappy Hep20 connections he's put all underneath my floors.

Glad I'm moving soon!!

That happens more often than you think.

It shouldn't, but it does!

Yeah I don't doubt that.

He never responded to any phone calls or emails when water started falling down into the living room..

Attempted to provide fair feedback (4/10) on checkatradedotcom (where the missus found him) and it never appeared - so that website is a loada rubbish as well.

I never bothered with those website things and I've never been a fan of plastic pipes since I brought a ceiling down soon after the stuff appeared on the market, but to be fair, it wasn't the pipe that failed - it was the fitting, but since then I have only used it as a sort of Get out of Jail Free" card.
