    Flexible multiwick. Lady came in to use the loo & found a rat eating her toilet roll looking up at her.
    I've used these on some jobs over the years & found them handy at times. I have one on my corner toilet upstairs but I don't think I'll recommend anyone use them downstairs anymore. :eek:

    I've seen it happen as well about 10 years ago. I stopped using them after that.

    Was it a cast iron sewer and soil pipe

    I wasn't there myself but it's a granny flat in a back garden. As far as I remember its under 20 years old so I'm guessing plastic soil pipe. It's ground floor

    You can get that with aj's with no covers and gully traps with no covers.

    Had a lady go through 3 in short time. Fitted new covers and never again

    Should have put a glass cover on it so that you could watch the "world" go by. :)

    [IMG]http://C:\Users\user\Downloads\17148911_1236067703143622_657532282_o.jpg[/IMG] you will be all glad for once i openly admit i haven't got a clue but i will take a guess. This mynute 28e was installed in 2003 so its not efficient and should be changed. I can't afford to change it at the moment and im not even sure it would be a wise investment because of the way i started heating my house about 3 years ago. I know the initial plumbing company hadn't a clue and if anyone is interested check https://www.kildarestreet.com/committees/?id=2015-10-07a.782 and please leave a comment. The whole system has never worked right and other houses have the same issues on the sitting room rad it will work for a few days and then stop again i threw my hat in and changed tact . With only 2 people living in a 4 bed (pls don't ask) we have no need for much heating in over half the house even so it would take at least 4 hours to start warming so i installed a freestanding morso wood burning stove in our kitchen come lounge.Disconnected the extractor fan I sent the flue through the upstairs bedroom/drying room so we milked all the heat We get a roaring fire within 5 minutes . The gas boiler during the winter only get 1h30m with the pump on and all rads open it also heats enough hot water for our needs . In summer its 1h no rads or pump on and only heats the copper cylinder . That Boiler started banging and clanking 3 years ago different lads could never give a definite answer of cost to repair it . Basically its impossible to price unless its striped and even then it might not be possible to repair . We went away over the xmas and since we returned its running perfect not a sound. My guesswork thinks something was loose or broken and the water pressure kept moving it causing the noise. Because the system was turned off the loose piece has become stuck for now. .
