Merchants

Williams are good mate, I’ve had boilers & cylinders from them - with the free biscuits 👍👍
They’re opening in Manchester, but I don’t know if they’ll open branches further North.

Long tails are good for connecting gas meters too.

Williams were a sponsor on a plumbing forum I used to go on a lot.
Ray, the owner used to do competitions for freebies, I got a 100 pack of black mamba gloves, a 6 pack of calshot c/h chemicals and some 'perfect pump valves', he was a top bloke.
You need to be signed up with proof of trade before you can see prices on the website, but they're proper good and there's usually biscuits or jelly babies in the packaging when you get it
If only they'd come to Bolton, they'd give the big profit making merchants a shake up.

Extended streets , i always like a couple for compression etc like you say plumberboy, “it be reet wi a street🤟“
Other day I had a nightmare stop tap to do, couldnt have done it without multi tool , and a slip coupler, Im thinking of getting one for van stock ,speedfit or compression both look to be get out of jailcards, but not always on shelves
