want to check before I go and order the bits to connect the bath taps (and likewise the 1/2" taps on the basin)... Ta Tim |

One possible con is if it's a SS sink etc, copper pipe adds to the rigidity, but flexibles not. -- *Proofread carefully to see if you any words out or mispeld something * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
