Hi.
Wondering if anyone could help me. I've had my WC sitting like this for a year now. After having this fitted while I was at work I'd purchased a toilet with cistern and thought the flat flush Valve I'd ordered seperately would fit it but it never. So Ieft with the gap for a flat flush...
Hi first post here😀
I want to replace a couple of rad valves with TRVs but as you can see from the pic, the existing tails are bigger than it usual. All the valves I can find have 1/2” bsp Threads both sides, but I either need TRVs with one side to match the tails, or a reduced for the rad.
Any...
Can you blend the water as it leaves the cylinder or does it have to be done at point of use?
just thinking I could use a slightly smaller cylinder for a tight spot as the stored hot water would ‘last longer’ You don’t need 60degree water to wash your hands or the dishes.
I’ve just had a new Ideal35 boiler fitted and was told that my existing 15mm gas pipe was incompatible and I would need to have it replaced with 22mm piping. This involved a new pipe run of approx. 10m. When installation was complete I noticed that the gas engineer had simply attached the new...
Two years ago, I requested a fully qualified plumber to change the location of the hot water cylinder in a vented central heating system. I wanted to move it from the first floor to the loft, which he did. During the last two years, I have often noticed when I have been up in the loft that the...
Hi all, hoping for help solve my problem I have encountered. I have fitted a free standing cast iron small radiator on ground floor. The feed comes from 15mm tails teed directly from the 22mm flow from the rear of the boiler flow outlet (same for return). The main flow pathway goes up to first...
My basin mono mixer (model No: ME00101) is 10 years old & leaks at the bottom base of the mixer stand & underneath the hand lever. Water is running down the LHS hose pipe as a drip. I closed the ball valve on the hose but water still leaks. (A) What is wrong with the mixer? (B) Is the mixer...
I am going to replace two rads - they need to be compact and double finned? What make should I be looking for, or what should I be looking for in a RAd or will popping down to Screwfix be ok?
My central heating failed to come on as timed a couple of days ago. Hot water is working fine.
Boiler is a worcester Greenstar compact fitted new almost 6 years ago and serviced regularly.
The wireless thermostat is a Salus ST620RF. There is a signal getting to the receiver from the thermostat...
Just serviced and changed the anode on the above cylinder was a right pig to get out the water is really hard out in the sticks here in Norfolk it should be checked every couple of years and replaced every six £ 55 lid + vat but it should be done and you can see why below . Regards Kop
Downstairs wc wash hand basin has started making a high pitched whining noise. Also water running through when it is closed. Noise doesn’t go off when tap opened on either hot or cold.
Have turned off the water just now, which has stopped the noise, but obviously now no water
Do I need a new tap?
Hi. Thanks for looking. Usually tile or wet wall the frame. This time though it's an quadrant tray. Would a glazing supplies company have something to wrap around the frame to finish it or is there a better place?
Hi,
I have a hot water tank, 3 header tanks in the loft and so I am assuming I am on an open vented system. I wish to replace a bathroom radiator with a wider one so will need to extend the existing pipework. I also want to tile around the pipework by drilling the tiles (for a neat finish) and...
I've long hated this bit of pipework at the foot of the stairs in my own house. Luckily, it is precisely where I want to put a bit of panelling, so I have now bypassed it.
List of sins include
a rippled bend (and it is very much on show)
a horizontal bit that is not horizontal
three holes...

Hi all,
Former G3-qualified heating design engineer for new-build helping start up a new company.
I'm currently looking at trying to gather a bit of information on whether installers are still predominantly using merchants to buy their cylinders or whether people mostly use online (at least for...

I have an 18mth old ecoTec plus 825 Vaillant boiler. We have had intermittent problems with the hot water supply for the last 2 days - now there is no hot water whatsoever, although the boiler is showing no error code. When you run a hot tap - there is not the little flashing tap sign on the...
