writes Yes it did! Simple task really.Here are the steps with time scales 1. Dig up the concrete overfill that you laid over the pipes (3 hours) making sure that your wife calls you an idiot every 5 minutes and complains about the new mess 2. Carefully remove the concrete from around the shroud protecting the pipes (1 hours) 3. Remove soldered joint, making sure that it takes 2 hours as water keeps cooling the solder 3. Insert various sized objects into the pipe until you find the right size and flexibility. (1 hour) 4. Try to re-solder the joint until you realise that its impossible and then apply a compression joint instead (3 hours) 5. test the flow and have wife lecture you on being an idiot and never to believe theses bloody news group postings 6. Get wife to lecture you on the dangers of top posting -- geoff |

Mary Although the poor old op has been subjected to ridicule, it is a valid method in the right circumstances. (Though it was perhaps a little rash on a low pressure small bore system - and I don't think I'd have encased it in concrete before testing G ) AWEM |
