    Oh bother. Just noticed that it says "copper". I'm connecting to 22mm Hep2o. Do you think its still OK?

    So that piece fits inside a coupler? Doesn't look as though they do 32mm to 22mm though and I don't want to introduce another joint if I can help it. (Although I could run in 28mm until I get to the install position and reduce their as that's accessible).

    No not too late. Its a job I need to do next weekend. (Get me with my planning ahead abilities ) That does look better.

    Hi, almost certainly a question for our resident eggspurt @Nickfromwales The picture below shows the connector to join the 32mm ground pipe to the 22mm internal pipwork. The brass is (I think) just one of those bog standard 1" tank connectors. But the male union thread on the other fitting is plastic. Whats the best method to join these? I'm concerned that too much PTFE tape/chord could cause the plastic thread to strip or crack. This joint is going to be buried in the wall so I need to be sure of a permanent connection. Ta muchly in advance.

    No, but the edges are clearly defined with tartan paint I'm up and down those battens like a whores knickers. Not bad for someone who has no lateral movement in his ankles. Mind you if I so much as stand on a pebble and I'm on the floor. It it all adds to the excitement.

    Went with the Spax stainless in the end. If it would only stop raining I could get it finished.

    Well every day is a school day. I've never seen a copper pipe soldered directly to a brass fitting. I assume you have to get the fitting very warm to get a bond? Is this a prefered method where the fitting will be inaccessible?

    Thanks @TerryE Interesting comment re measuring and fitting 'after' boarding. The last place we did we (it wasn't me who fitted it) fitted the staircase to the stud walls and then plasterboarded to it. I quite liked this approach as it reduced the visible thickness of the 32mm stringer. But then we do intended to have painted stringers and then carpet. Please don't ask me why we're having carpet, it involves a woman's logic.

    All this fussy wussy mower talk. Up here on the moor we go for the slightly more agricultural approach as our grass is well erm more moor! Plus it removes small trees, limbs, slow rabbits and much more

    Thanks. Was intending to fit ourselves so not an option I've got.

    Hi All Im just trying to work out what we're doing about stairs. After much deliberation we're not doing anything 'fancy' and will just go for a well made solid white wood quarter landing staircase. It's between two stud walls so not much in the way of balustrade either. So to my question: What's the accepted 'wriggle tollerence' when measuring up? 5mm all round?

    We would all invite you out. Just remember to bring your trowel

    Thsnkyou, I'll attempt to copy them into my email using firstname.lastname@internorm.com
  22. Barney12
    Thanks, I'm not a twitter user but will definitely check it out.
  23. Barney12
    Thank you. I'll add that to my reserve plan

    Failing that a senior contact (English speaking) in Germany that deals with customer relations.
  25. Barney12
    A bit of a long shot but I know we have a few industry people on this forum (inc @craig) but does anyone have any contact details for a senior person in Internorm UK? Perhaps a UK Sales Manager (I know one exists because I spoke to him at one of the build shows but didn't get his details!). If you do could you PM me? Note I'm after a contact at Internorm itself not one of their distributors. Sorry to be rude but please don't PM me asking for the reasons why as it is better at the moment that I remain quiet. Ta muchly in advance.
