This is hilarious. Only from a uk.d-i-y Lunatic Association (affiliated)
member. This one didn't know the difference between high and low
pressure taps. He bought high pressure taps for his sink (cut the tap
tails short as well) then wondered why he was only getting a dribble
out of the taps.

Tap. The low pressure hot water. A dribble rather similar to a combi such
as yours. I'm used to a high flow storage system.

And you've just confirmed your lack of any skills if you can't cut a
thread made of brass. Of course we knew that after your incident with the
plastic pipe and hacksaw. Perhaps you could go to night school and learn
some basic skills?

He posted here asking why. Anyone with sense would
go out and buy a proper set of low pressure taps and fit them. Not
this one...wait...in the current thread "Hot Water Woes"...this is what
he wrote.....

"I had the same problem after installing a high pressure only 'mixer' tap
in the kitchen - I couldn't find a low pressure one I liked. I installed
the pump under the sink. Works a treat."

He put a pump under the sink to get the pressure up on the mixer instead
of changing the mixer taps.

Which part of 'couldn't find a low pressure one I liked' don't you
understand? I know your comprehension of English is poor, but it's a
pretty simple statement. Those with taste will buy things that look good
and if it means some modification, so what? It's low rent semi skilled
plumbers that *only* fit what is easy. Hence your love of combis and
system boilers.

Hilarious...hilarious. The best yet. I've never
heard that one. Only from a uk.d-i-y Lunatic Association (affiliated)
member. Yes, you read this sort of thing here. Good for a laugh indeed.

Glad to oblige. Your life is obviously sad if this amuses you.

The problem is a novice might believe all this and take the advice. That
is the serious and dangerous part.

It's 'serious and dangerous' to repalce a kitchen tap? Now I know you're
barking...
