They look much better than having a long 4" vent pipe going all

up

I'm a retired plumber and I cannot recall any durgo valve freezing.


good a plumber....why is my new 'Dudley syphonic flush' not worth a
monkey
in the flushing stakes ???? . ......


stuck my hand in and fiddled about with the membrane and it improved

Membrane in the syphon stuck or damaged.If it worked properly in the
past,
then get a new syphon.


this is the new unit I am talking about...it never worked
properly...it's
just the hassle of fitting another one....


Ah, you know that you should've complained to the installer from the
beginning.

can't complain to myself.......


lol.

just visited a plumbers I used to do drain testing for in Paisley...he is
going to fit a new unit ....properly...tee hee

Stack pipes are normally at the side of buildings or around the back.
