Simplistic question please help
|
|
|
| I am replacing my shower (Triton T100E) that was fitted by a plumber about
10 years ago. He used plastic piping with a 15mm plastic elbow bend that
attaches to the shower.
I cannot get this off. Is there a simple way? It does not seem to screw
off. I've pulled very hard but cannot get this fixture to come off and I
don't want to break anything.

| Think if you heat up a old knife you can cut it off ?
You know, heat and cut heat and cut........

Thanks RJ, I ended up cutting it off with an hacksaw. I now need to somehow
get some new and possibly longer extension plus some elbow type fittings to
get the new shower plumbed in :-(

I don't care what Mike G says plastic suxs.
See if that was done right it would of been copper
and had unions so you could * easily remove it.
Well, that's in my code book anyway.

| Plastic pipe implies that the fittings were glued. Look in the sprinkler
parts isle at the hardware store for parts. You can often bend a straight
section of pipe by applying sufficient heat to bend but not melt or burn the
plastic (practice first) depending on exactly what kind of plastic you have
(hopefully PVC)

| most plastic fittings have a button or ring to push down to allow it to
be removed in 2 secs. Plastic pipe at that age will be push fit not
glued.
