Tips for Plumbing Leaks


Plumbing leaks are quite easy to identify since you often see rust, puddles of water and dripping water but you may not know how to prevent a plumbing leak from occurring. The following tips are highly recommended to incorporate into your life since they will significantly minimise the risk of a plumbing leak.
Firstly, you need to check the pitch of the radiator because it should always be pitched back towards the location of the steam. In this case, when the water condenses it is allowed to drain back to the boiler which is why it is important that radiators have a good level and an open valve.
Furthermore, if you notice that the lining wears away and you get dripping coming from the base of your water heater, this is a clear indicator that you have a dead water heater. In this case, if you find their to be plenty of water dripping, be sure to contact the manufacturer of the water heater and hope that your water heater is still under warranty. Alternatively, if you change the water heater, be sure to install a pan under it.
If you happen to have water dripping from a shower, the most common cause is through a defective washer or a defective seat. Make sure you replace a gasket instead of blowing it because as long as you have isolation valves that isolate the water coming from that area, it should be a quick fix. Be sure to isolate the water to that shower and disassemble handles by taking them out of the stem where the washer is located.

Plumbing Measurements

The world of plumbing dimensions can be very deceptive to the trainee or the weekend amateur, for example a 7/8 inch plastic pipe is really called a ½ inch pipe as its inside diameter is ½ inch and this how plumbers see them. It is also reffered to as the nominal size and the one that suppliers are asked for. There has to be a system that allows different pipes to be used in many different guises so that everything was of a standard measurement. The old system of pipe measurement was called ‘Imperial’ and was used for many years in engineering until 1971, when the metric system was introduced. Here is some brief information about the metric and imperial measurements for pipework: Firstly, all the copper and stainless steel pipes used in plumbing today are made and supplied in a metric sizes, but many old pipes still exist in homes that were fitted years ago. These will be imperial. Feltham Plumbers are trained in imperial and metric. Lets compare the equivalent dimensions: 15mm=1/2in, 22mm=3/4in, 28mm=1in. The difference is quite obvious, but, metric pipe is measured by its external diameter while imperial pipework is measured by its internal diameter. The difference is only small, but can cause some real problems when trying to join two types of pipework together. If it is a soldered joint, an exact fit is critical. You can buy imperial to metric adaptors which are necessary when joining 22mm pipe to its imperial opposite and these adaptors are convenient when you are working with 28mm pipes or with thick walled 1/2in pipework. A Feltham Plumber is trained to know the difference between metric and imperial. These type of adaptors are not required when using compression fittings If you were joining 22mm to 3/4in plumbing, slip an imperial olive on the 3/4in pipework. Typically, 15mm (1/2in) pipework is used for the water supply to basins, kitchen sinks, washing machines, some showers, and radiator flow and returns. However, 22mm (3/4in) pipework is used to supply baths, high output showers, hot water cylinders and main central heating circuits, and 28mm (1in) pipe for bigger heating installations.

Heated Towel Rail (Chrome)

The heated towel rail or radiator is a very luxurious item for any bathroom. There are various designs to choose from, like the simple ladder in white or chrome to a more styled and designer radiator. They can be fitted in the same way as a normal domestic radiator. The best and simplest way to fit a new towel radiator is to fit it in place of a radiator of the same size. This means that you dont need to drain the whole system, or lift flooring and skirting boards. You just turn off the heating and isolate the old radiator by closing the valves on both sides before taking it off the wall. The new radiator will be connected to the pipes already there. A Feltham Plumber can fit a chrome heated towel rail.


Take off the old radiator and brackets and fill the holes. The wall must be strong enough to hold the weight of the towel radiator when it is full of water. Allow at least 20cm from the bottom rail to the floor.
Fit in the bleed valve and blanking plug of the new towel radiator. Try and protect the chrome, perhaps with a clean cloth and tighten with an adjustable spanner.
Line up the radiator to the pipes and mark the fixing positions of its new brackets.
For a tiled surface, fit a horizontal strip of masking tape to the tiles at both of the fixing positions. This makes it easier to make a pencil mark, and helps to stop the drill bit from slipping. Feltham Plumbers understand how valves operate.

Make sure that the bracket positions are lined up and level, and no hidden pipes or cables are in the wall, then you can drill. Take off the masking tape, fit the wallplugs, and screw the bracket bases to the wall with the screws and washers supplied. Try not to overtighten, as this will crack the tiles.
Fit the bracket stems to the radiator, and put the assembled radiator on the bracket bases, using the manufacter’s instructions. Confirm that the radiator is level. Do not fully tighten the screws for the bracket yet, just in case you need to remove the radiator again before the job is complete.


Always Measure the dimensions of a room where you are going to fit the heated towel rail, and then log onto the internet and look for something called a ‘heat requirement calculator’. These sites an online heat calculator so you can work out your needs before you begin the installation of your heated rail. As well as the dimensions of the room there is also a requirement to enter some more details regarding the room, such as do you have double glazing or in which direction it faces? This result will be a measure of the Kilowatt (kW) or British thermal unit (Btu) output you will need from your radiators. Bear in mind that this is a minimum value, so opt for the rail that will give a slightly higher output, especially if you are going to cover it as it is designed, with lots of towels.

Straight types of valves are normally used for a heated towel rail. This is because the valves will connect underneath as opposed to the traditional angled radiator valves that fit on the side of the radiator.
When the pipework is coming out of the wall you could stick with angled valves.
Chrome heated towel rails can produce far less heat than an equivalent sized white type of rail and these towel rails are usually set slightly higher from the floor than the 15 cm of a traditional radiator this is for looks rather than heating reasons.
You will need to adjust the central heating pipes in order to fit a heated towel rail. These heated towel rails are just decorative radiators, and the design and finish of the towel rail means that they will only deliver a small percentage of the heat that a radiator of similar size can provide.

Vanity Sink


When considering installing something like a vanity sink, you must always consider the amount of storage space that you will require, also physical size and design. Fitting a vanity cabinet and sink is great way to get more storage and countertop room in the bathroom. You can always seek professional advice from a company like Feltham Plumbers. On the vanity unit itself, the water feeds should be fitted with caps that are either soldered or glued, so you will have to cut them away when you have placed the vanity unit. Measure and note the water feed and drain plumbing and trace the positions onto the rear of the vanity unit. Cut out the hole for the vanity’s sink unit if required.

Place the vanity over the lines and up against the supporting wall. Check that the cabinet is setting level/square and secure it in place. A Feltham Plumber can supply and fit vanity units.

Method:
For the plumbing, you can now connect the spout, water valves and handles to the vanity sink unit and link the water supply ‘T’ and hose onto the spout. Connect the water supply pipes to the valves, as this will mean you don’t have to work from underneath later in the installation.

Spread some plumber’s putty around the drain fitting to form a seal and secure the fitting in the drain hole. Put a washer and slip nut on the bottom and tighten up the fitting. Fit the drain stopper coupling with its gasket so it lines up with the back of the sink unit.

Press the stopper’s slip arm through the sink and connect it to the coupling. Now, press the stopper fully open and do the arm up tight. Raise the sink up and sit it in the vanity cabinet. Use adhesive to fit a threaded adapter coupling onto the drain stub. Fit the trap and screw it to the adapter and the sink’s drain. Tighten up the sink water supply pipes to their shut-off valves. Very slowly open the shut-off, checking for leaks. Fill up the sink with water, check for leaks, especially around the drain. Drain the water and check the waste pipework joints. This will also put water in the trap to make sure there are no sewer gases.
Seal the sink rim.

Water System


Stored System:
The stored system is the lower pressure of the two systems that are commonly employed throughout the domestic plumbing systems.

The system makes use of the cold water mains supply to a property to fill up a big water storage tank that is fitted in the loft space. Feltham Plumbers know all systems. The water that is supplied to the taps is from the storage tank, which means that if you turn off the mains cold water it does not instantly stop water flow from the taps. Should the tank be really large, then, it can take around a half hour 20-30 to empty and for the taps to stop running. In an emergency situation it can be a very long 30 minutes, so if your property uses stored water you need to know where the valves are that will turn this water off at once.

Mains Supplied System:
This is a high pressure system, as all cold water is fed directly from the main domestic supply, this means that by turning off the main cold water stop tap will stop the cold water taps running. The water is used in a unique way that controls the hot water with its pressure, pushing hot water out from the taps. The result is that turning off this mains will stop the hot water also. You could have a cylinder where the hot water is stored but with no cold water pressure to push hot water through, it wont reach the taps and will sit in the hot water cylinder. A Feltham Plumber knows about this system. Lots of properties use a mixture of both stored (above) and mains fed water. Cold water main feeds the kitchen and then from storage tanks to the bathroom, whilst all the hot water will be from a stored supply.

Water Supply


The water to your home is provide by a large system of pipework that sits underground, and originates at your local or regional water supplier or authority.

This water is subject to strict scrutiny and has to adhere to their own rules and regulations with regards to cleanliness and purity. The term for this water in the industry is ‘Potable’ (not portable). The term is from the Latin word for drinkable which is ‘Potabilis’ so you supplier actually takes it the whole water issue very seriously. The water is subject to filtration, chlorination and treated with fluoride (this helps in the reduction of tooth decay).

The Main Trunk:
The main water supply systems are known as ‘Trunk’ systems and are laid underground and feed the local mains. Feltham Plumbers understand how these systems work. The mains supply for your property is down at a depth to make sure that there is no affects from traffic or very cold weather. These pipe systems were once made from asbestos cement or cast iron in, but today it is plastic. You will see these pipes now and again when new ones are being laid. There is an isolating valve that connects the various services so that they can be isolated individually, so a supply to a new house can be made without affecting any other buildings or homes. This water pipe is then routed underground from the isolating valve to the property’s boundary, to an outside stop valve.

Service Pipe:
A vertical pipe (or chamber) is fitted so that the valve can be accessed for service and maintenance. The chamber should be clearly marked. From the stop valve the supply runs towards the property and is called the service pipe (which is medium density polyethylene or MDPE), for which the homeowner has the ownership. This (service) pipework runs under the house and in through a water meter either fitted outside or inside. This pipe must be insulated at all exposed points. A Feltham Plumber has all the knowledge and skill to work on this system.

The Compression Fitting


Used With Plastic Waste Pipework.
The compression fitting is a very flexible type of fitting that will work with lots of the materials that are used in the world of plumbing today. It will effect a watertight seal by compressing two rubber rings in between the pipe and fitting. Plumbing fittings are now the compression type because they allow a job to be constructed and broken down really easily, to clear a blockage fast. A Feltham Plumber is experienced with compression fittings.

Cutting a Plastic Waste Pipe For A Fitting.
There is a point on the waste pipe that the fitting will reach when it is slipped over. So as the pipework you must allow for the extra measurement and it will make sure that the joint is good and watertight. When the pipe is cut make sure that you file of any burrs or rough edges that are present, which can be done ideally using a half rounded file. Make sure that you pay attention to the inner edge because the water that flows through will possibly have foreign objects in it that will catch the inner edge if rough and build up causing a block in the pipework. Feltham Plumbers are experienced with compression fittings.

Connection:
The most common system for the waste pipework is to fit a trap or bend using big plastic nuts at each end and a rubber ring or washer for both ends of the connection. Place the large nut over the pipework. Secondly, the rubber ring or washer. If either is tapered, fit so the taper faces the fitting. Finally, push the pipe into the fitting and tighten the nut. Hand-tighten only, as the rubber washer is quite soft and can be adequately compressed by hand.

Should the joint is leak, it normally indicates that a component is misaligned or misplaced. “

Snake For Drains


There are lots of tools on sale in many retailers for dealing with all manner of plumbing emergencies. Some of these are clever and high tech and some are just logical and simple in their use. One such tool is the ‘Snake’ that is used for unblocking drains and pipework blockages. The snake is made up of a coiled metal spiral that looks like a snake, and is normally around ¼ in diameter and in some cases can be up to 25ft in length. It incorporates a handle that is retractable. The drain snake operates in a different way than a tool like the plunger.

Operation:
Once you have an entry point you can then push the Snake in the drain, begin using a twisting motion to rotate the coil deeper towards the blockage. The design lets you press into the bulk of the mass and begin to break it up.

As it has a good length it can reach deep into the pipe. It might be a job too far for the amateur. Feltham Plumbers always have the right tools for any plumbing task.

This task takes quite a lot of force when turning the handle, this makes the snake move through the various bends in the pipe. These snakes can be attached to electric drills to increases the force required to break the mass up. A Feltham Plumber uses the drain snake.

Prevention (sink block):
Place a plug hole strainer in the sink to let the water pass but catch a lot of solids from running down the drain, in either the kitchen sink, or in the bathroom.

Garbage Disposal Owners:
During operation you should always run the cold water particularly at a high speed to help the machine mash up the waste food. Keep the water running for more than a minute or so after you have finished. This helps to totally flush the mulch through the small bore pipe and onto the bigger outside drain.
