Is it a Venturi shower endfeed ? Bibs and braces - fit both. Unless it's a Venturi shower valve it will never work 100% at different pressures. |

Copper seems to be getting more and more expensive as well as folk moving to plastic. |

Tom and Tappy will remember him and I think he got so much flack that he fucked off.  I referred to him as Sean - dork |

Copper seems to be getting more and more expensive as well as folk moving to plastic. Copper is great in visible areas and under sinks etc Dafty, but plastic is great under floors and through stud walls and has less movement through expansion so less creaking through the joists. The main player with it is speed, you can first fix a building in no time . |
