Plumbing supplies and parts guidance before buying fittings

Shop parts or ask first

Some parts are simple to identify, but valves, geyser fittings, pressure parts, waste fittings and pipe connectors must be matched correctly. Send a photo first if thread size, pressure rating, access or system type is uncertain.

Helpful details to send with your enquiry

Send your suburb, the affected room or fixture, whether water can be isolated, whether the fault is new or recurring, and one wide photo plus one close photo. For geysers and solar geysers, include the time of day the water is cold or hot, whether the overflow pipe is dripping and whether there is a controller or timer visible.
