Understanding BSP Sizes

When members of the public call, they sometimes get confused about the BSP sizes that we mention on our site.
It's quite understandable as BSP sizes are not the same as true Imperial sizes (often people think it means British Standard Plumbing when in fact it means British Standard Pipe)
To help we have written a concise guide to the most commonly used BSP sizes in the sanitary industry
You can find it here: Understanding BSP Sizes

How do I switch off the water to my taps?

A common question we're asked is 'how do I switch off the water to my taps?'
If you don't have isolator or service valves it's not that easy and can mean shutting the water at the mains.
So it's always good practice to fit isolator service valves (sometimes called ballofix or ballfix valves) which can be closed simply by turning the valve with a screwdriver.
These should be fitted to taps, showers  and other domestic appliances including washing machines.
As part of tap accessories, we are now supplying Isolator Service Valves available as either 1/2" BSP to 15mm compression which goes between tap flexitails and copper pipe, and 15mm x 15mm compression which goes between copper pipe.
Each isolator valve is screw operated - something that prevents accidental shutting of a valve

Shower Mounting Wall Plate Elbows

 
The direction for Notjusttaps seems to be concentrating on the supply of spares and service parts (together with the supply of medical sanitaryware) rather than standard bathroom products which are available from just about every retailer, often at unrealistically low prices which we can't compete with.
So in this vein, we now have for sale Wall Plate Elbows as part of our shower spares range.
These are wall unions that allow for surface mounting of all makes of exposed shower valves.
