Re: New House Just Built - Pipes??? |
|---|
| message from Lurch on 24 May 2004 |
together this:
Sound's like Marley Equator fittings. Have a google on them.
Yep, but not dismantleable though.
That's fine, as long as the pipe has the coorect inserts or liners, erm,
inserted. These are metal reinforcing rings that go on the inside of the pipe to
prevent deformation.
I'm assuming there's meant to be a question in there somewhere, if it was how do
I connect the new pipes to the plastic pipework then it depends what the new
pipe is. Personally I'd use copper through the wall, and through the service
valve inside then just cut a tee into the plastic pipe inside, remembering to
use the liners. The tee could be conpression or a matching Marley Equator.

I also thought it might be Equator, PEX.
I'd do all the connection in Equator. The advantage over copper is
that it won't split if it should freeze. I'd mortar a 22mm copper pipe
sleeve into the wall, pack the space between the two pipes with
insulation material and mastic it in.
You'd probably need a double-check valve, to prevent the contents of
your hose, pond, paddling pool, etc., being syphoned back into the
mains if the pressure should fail. Anyone care to quote chapter &
verse of the relevant regulations?

PS. Probably also sensible to put an isolating valve inside, adjacent
to the Tee. You will be able to isolate the outside tap and drain it
if you're expecting cold weather. Or else just isolate it, if you
should forget and it does freeze.

You are right. A double check valve is needed. Some taps now have them
built-in.

Thats the stuff m8 - thanks for that.

Tsk,tsk. Mr Pole, they are dismountable. They supply a special plastic
tool of this.
|
| Lurch replied to IMM on 24 May 2004 |
Seeing as no-one else has told you otherwise, I'll assume you're correct. I
still think you're a pillock though.
|
| IMM replied to Lurch on 24 May 2004 |
Mr Pole, you are bitter and twisted. You have been proven pillock, and know
nothing of pipework, yet continue to give misguided advise on topic you
notjing at all. Have you tried therapy? I will do you good.
|
| Lurch replied to IMM on 24 May 2004 |
I know.
I missed that one, care to provide a link possibly.
The words pot and kettle spring to mind. At least I'll admit my mistakes,
whereas you seem to completely ignore the fact that you just write drivel.
No, I'm too tight.
No you won't.
|
| IMM replied to Lurch on 24 May 2004 |
Self awareness. A progression.
Mr Pole, now Bean you have low attention span, so most of what you read,
beside Enid Blyton writings, would appear drivel.
You need to find the money and quick.
Yes it will.
|
| Lurch replied to IMM on 24 May 2004 |
See, you've clearly spotted a mistake that you made, and rather than admitting
it decided to try and alter it in later posts. You obviously have some sort of
problem(s).
|
| IMM replied to Lurch on 24 May 2004 |
Maxie, you are a Trekkie. Now don't deny it.
|
| IMM replied to Lurch on 24 May 2004 |
Bean, the therapy will also make you see life as it is too.

| Nick Brooks replied to IMM on 24 May 2004 |
CHEAT your original post said "I will do you good" which as Lurch
pointed out is unlikely
|
| IMM replied to Nick Brooks on 24 May 2004 |
I will do him good as well. The first thing he has to do is Google all my
uk.d-i-y posts, print them off, and read them all 4 times a day. This is
the first stage of Mr Pole, becoming a more complete person, instead of the
shambles he now is.

Congratulations. You've just invented the most horrible torture. Ever
thought of a career in Iraq? I'll help with the ticket...
