Tacet Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 And, despite how confident you are there will be no flow, it's best to ensure that the water is not hot. If it is hot (and it does flow) you can easily have a burnt or painful thumb whilst it is holding back the torrent until you work out what to do next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I do intuitively but omitted to point out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The domestic accident mentioned in post 8 involved hot water under pressure so I have learned that lesson. Thumb was unable to stem the flow so had to run and clean up the mess later. Current project delayed for a day or two. The Charlatans originally came from Northwich and have returned to put on a whole week (or more) of gigs and other events. This means that the wonderful Salty Dog was not available for drinking last night. Will maybe go up to Screwfix today and have a very early evening pint at the dog. ...............Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
