the number of stupid sizes, variations between manufacturers and obtuse naming conventions is staggering
Found this out when fitting radiators and refitting a sink. FML.
I'm not surprised McAlpine have someone like Fred, their stuff is solid IME.
Look, James Bond Fred!

In the Europe, is all plumbing metric?
I’ve been at the water-Lego in our place the last two weeks and the number of stupid sizes, variations between manufacturers and obtuse naming conventions is staggering. Of course a 2” pipe isn’t actually 2 inches. Or 51mm. It’s just a random number somewhere in that ballpark. And there’s three different sizes depending on manufacturer. Oh and push fit, compression and solvent weld are all different sizes too. And supply and drain are all different sizes. And the boss on the side of this ring seal soil stack fits nothing that has ever been manufactured.
