I'm sure I was on B&Q's site a couple of days ago comparing prices of
various plumbing bits with those on screwfix.com. In particular, a 22mm full
bore lever valve. But now, I can't locate these items on www.diy.com. Should
I bother, are screwfix ones better, can someone point me to the correct
place on B&Q's site?
Thanks.

That would be my first thought, but the PC I was browsing on is at my
in-laws house, and I won't be seeing them for a few weeks.

Buggered if I can find anything other than plastic stuff on diy.com.
Get one from your local plumbers merchants, PTS do some own brand Boss
ones or get a Comap one.

Is it just me, or does anyone else have problems finding anything on B&Q's
web site? I've often failed to find loads of items that I know darned well
are in the store - I seem to be guided to the same stuff no matter what I'm
looking for! On at least two occasions, I've given it up as a bad job and
just driven to the store and looked on the shelves - successfully I might
add.

quick search couldn't find it.

you can use google to search a particular site if their own search is crap.

Type this into Google:-

site:www.diy.com lever ball valve

will find it (if you include the colon)

They're both the same make as far as I can tell, but the one at B&Q is
more expensive, and it's only a 15mm. So, if you're wanting a 22mm,
Screwfix it is.
