1st attempt at pipework.

Have bought a Schuran Flowbox and the instructions said the bulkhead requires 32mm piping.
Trip to B and Q (english homestore) and bought the 32 mm piping and its too big to go in the bulkhead. If i get the next size down it would be too small :doh:

Extremely confused.

Instructions say the piping has to go through the bulkhead and 3cms into the flowbox.

Hoover tubing seems alot easier than filing the pipe. Think ill give it a go.
