Hello all
Testing out our caravan prior to first outing this year I was somewhat displeased witnessing water spraying out of the side vents and onto my drive. Regardless of drain-down, damage was now obviously apparent.
Leaks were coming from both hot and cold connections on pipework Ts connecting kitchen sink pipes and bathroom pipes, which looked (and smelled :dry: ) to be perhaps original, on our 2001 chateau.
So, I decided to replace the 15mm red and blue pipework with 12mm pushfit.
Some of the original pipework is costly to replace (such as micro switch bathroom taps, which are away from the actual sink tap and obviously cut into the vanity unit). This will eventually need a replacement tap and bathroom unit). So, I ordered 15-12mm reducers. However! It looks like the blue pipes are 'somewhere' around 14mm as they just slide in and out of the 15mm JG push-fittings...and...the bloomin red pipes look to be around 16mm! No amount of manipulating would get the red pipes into the 15mm JG pushfit.
So, calipers essential. For any deciding to do some replacing. Measure measure measure!
