Pipe clipping / basin stand
Having just fitted and had signed off (with glowing comments :-) a combi
boiler, the bathroom is now high pressure heaven. However the pipework to the basin is unclipped from floor level and terminates in free air for the flexible tap connector connection. I deliberately ran the pipes close to the ceramic upstand to hide them from most viewing angles but now they clang about when the taps are shut off. Is there a proprietory solution to this? Sticky foam pads on the back of a pipe clip I don't expect to be very long lasting. -- Mike W |

Can you get rigid alternatives? As I am about to fit a basin much the same, except that it came supplied with connectors converting to 15mm including a few inches of pipe it must be available. Try your local plumbers merchants, all the ones I have visited are great and helpful. |

Make sure you have a bit of newspaper in the floor though, Its not easy to stop it plopping. |
