B&Q web-site

I'm sure I was on B&Q's site a couple of days ago comparing prices of various plumbing bits with those on screwfix.com. In particular, a 22mm full bore lever valve. But now, I can't locate these items on

Should I bother, are screwfix ones better, can someone point me to the correct place on B&Q's site? Thanks.

Look in the IE history.

That would be my first thought, but the PC I was browsing on is at my in-laws house, and I won't be seeing them for a few weeks.

Buggered if I can find anything other than plastic stuff on diy.com. Get one from your local plumbers merchants, PTS do some own brand Boss ones or get a Comap one.

Is it just me, or does anyone else have problems finding anything on B&Q's web site? I've often failed to find loads of items that I know darned well are in the store - I seem to be guided to the same stuff no matter what I'm looking for! On at least two occasions, I've given it up as a bad job and just driven to the store and looked on the shelves - successfully I might add.

I found it! plumbing>toilet fittings>cistern - where else?! Although B&Q's quick search couldn't find it.

you can use google to search a particular site if their own search is crap.

They're both the same make as far as I can tell, but the one at B&Q is more expensive, and it's only a 15mm. So, if you're wanting a 22mm, Screwfix it is.
