Good luck take your time and all will go well.

As no pics,have to rely on mental pictures

I just got visions of a sink lent against the wall,a couple of dripping pipe ends and a 2m length of worktop laying on floor with two little hands and feet pocking out from the sides underneath and then zoom into a close up of one of the hands waving for help with root tattooed across the knuckles :lol:

Hope everthing is going well really root's :-)

no one mentioned check valves anywhere... so must get one to put on my dishwasher to stop my drinking water tasting like new dishwasher pipe... on a similar note, anyone know if i can get straight female 15mm couplers or would it be okay to couple using a small length of flexi pipe?
