If you are putting a new floor deck down, would ply be a better option than chip?

Floor scraper? Never used one mind but they look ideal if they can get purchase into the adhesive. Or go at it with a floor grinder and create a load of dust!

Suggesting the ashp for heating only and have the immersion on a timer or some form of solar diverter to utilise excess?

Mira/Aqualisa digital shower could be a saviour. The control can be located outside the shower if you wish? But they are expensive in comparison to mixer valves.

Or hunt out ducovent. I’ve got these, as i was a bit late with ergovent hobbies.

inside my grohe concealed cisterns the flexi from the twist stop to filler valve is narrow bore, probably 8mm I’d guess so bottleneck there too.

Going to post this as could be helpful to visitors in future. For a Basin I have 10mm Hep20 and the tap tails with 1/2” connector. Because I’m working upstairs and I cannot be bothered running down and back up to isolate at the manifold, I feel I could do with some local isolation to the basin to make life a little simpler. What to do? I used the shopping list below https://www.screwfix.com/p/hep2o-plastic-push-fit-stem-coupler-f-10mm-x-m-15mm/7947f https://www.screwfix.com/p/hep2o-hx37-15ws-shut-off-valve-hot-cold-15mm/8473f https://www.screwfix.com/p/hep2o-brass-push-fit-adapting-male-coupler-15mm-x-1-2-/422fj

Almost, but I think the problem I’d then have would be, a shower hose with the 3/8 female connector wont fit through the chrome deck mount, 3/8 male no problems. This plumbing lark and all these connections, well you need to have a mind of a contortionist. It’s a Problem solving bonanza. Almost like this company who manufactured this mixer from has some kind of protectionist thing going on, it’s all odd sizes. Firstly, the valve didnt have a backnut (must be lost somewhere), tried 3/4” too small, 1” too big, took it to work so the inspection team could measure it up for me, turns out M30, 1.5 threads, thankfully a chap on the machine shop floor found a large nut and recut the threads for me.

Scolmore click mode is what I’ve put in also, put them A and C sockets in most rooms, next to bedside tables, next to lounge seating, and near media points, and a couple near some large windows just in case i may need to charge a blind or two. Works out to 2 or 3 per room mostly. Think I paid about £9 a pop, bought from someone like me who orders in bulk (too many for project) to get the price breaks then flogs the rest.

Want to replace a through deck shower hose to a longer one, valve body has one of these adapters with it, bought a replacement hose but the 3/8” male wont fit the narrow end of this adapter, the valve outlet is 1/2”. I guess I’m asking if there is such a thing as a 1/2” to 3/8” adapter, or is there another way?

That’s first job tomorrow sorted out. Thanks.

One of these fits, would that be the right type of fitting to use?

slowly getting dizzy from going round the bend... Seem to have an array of fittings except the one i need grrr! What do i need to attach to a copper pipe to allow this to connect please? I can solder, but compression, or push would do me equally as well. Got some lovely Hep20 tails, but the connector doesn’t fit my bath mixer controller. Thin hep is 10mm and the mixer is 8mm. Ta.

Maybe a bit of 25*25mm angle drilled and screwed to each stud, bit of 15mm ply/osb spanning between them screwed to the angle. Might need to experiment with screw lengths…. Or dry lining boxes!

If push comes to shove (last resort type stuff) and you don’t have enough clearance room and you don’t want to mess with the strong back then you can transition to oval mvhr ducting.
