HOT BILL [3 records]

Record 1 2017-02-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Construction Site Equipment
  • Roofs (Building Elements)
DEF

A small mechanical applicator for applying hot bitumen on the felt of a built-up roof membrane, or on a roof-deck.

CONT

The Mini Mopper blends the precision flow control of a small mopper with the carrying capacity of a large one. Screw-in plugs, on 1" centers, give the operator complete application control-simply remove more plugs to increase the area of coverage... A consistent coat of hot seals the quality of a well-built roof. No mop and bucket can match the speed and consistency of this low-cost durable all-steel dispenser. Whether you’re laying base sheet, insulation, felts or graveling-in, the Mini Mopper can fit the bill.

French

Record 2 1999-08-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Taps and Plumbing Accessories
CONT

Replacing a tap washer. Given that up to 50% of an electricity bill may be attributable to water heating, it is important to ensure that your hot water taps don’t drip... A leaky tap usually occurs because the internal seal is worn out. Each time you turn the tap off, the soft flexible washer, which is made from rubber or a synthetic substitute, presses against the metal washer seat, wearing a tiny part of itself away. Eventually it becomes thin and irregular in shape. This allows water to seep past and creates the annoying drip. If you don’t replace it but continue to screw the tap down tighter and tighter, eventually you will get metal forcing you to call in a plumber to regrid the washer seating. That can be an expensive business!

CONT

We undertake all types of plumbing work from changing a tap washer to the installation on commercial buildings.
