    Can anyone identify this bifold door pls?

    Mine failed at the same point, the plastic simply fails with age, Fordhams was the original make, but to be honest, as already suggested, change it for a new one. I swopped mine out last week and it’s easy enough to do.

    Alcove Oversize Shower BiFold Door

    I’ve just installed a replacement bi-fold door and side screen, the minimum dimension is just that, however, the door frame sits within a channel trim which enables, in my case 40mm of adjustment. Check the manufacture’s literature for tolerance.

    Outside sensor slope vs room temperature setpoint

    I must admit this is a new control philosophy for me, especially as I have heavily invested in Hive TRVs, but as this is my first condensing boiler and I thought I'd try and get the best efficiency from it and I've read that using the boiler flow temperature control in conjunction with weather...

    Outside sensor slope vs room temperature setpoint

    Spoke to Ideal to clarify the outside sensor slope settings on my Vouge Max System 18 which was installed in April 23, so this is its first winter, my system design is 55C @ -3C and larger radiators have been installed as per the heat loss calc. Room temperature control is via the boilers flow...

    Filter in gas line, is it needed?

    I will get my installer to fit one for me now I’m more informed, anything I can do which helps the boiler must be a good thing, to be honest if it wasn’t for the passing comment I wouldn’t have known of the issue, maybe it’s not a big problem, but as a consumer I would have gone for the upsell...

    Filter in gas line, is it needed?

    I saw on a plumerparts posts comments that the gas engineer always used an inline filter on the gas line to the boiler due to debris. I’ve just had a new boiler fitted, is it a good idea to ask my installer back and pay for a filter to be installed or a waste of money as the gas isn’t that...

    Honeywell 10mm TRV compression inserts wanted

    That what I thought would do when I bought them, the problem is these are designed for a 15mm fitting then reducing down to 10mm, I have a 10mm fitting and these don’t fit, hence I changed the nut type to get around the problem, I’ve been on the Honeywell spares site but nothing came up

    Honeywell 10mm TRV compression inserts wanted

    It’s the brass insert inside the body of the TRV that the 10mm copper pipe fits into, it’s not an olive, it’s a turned brass part which the nut tightens against it and seals. The inlet nut body has a 10mm hole for the pipe, rather than a 15mm hole that the 15x10 inserts will fit. I’ve sorted...

    Honeywell 10mm TRV compression inserts wanted

    Hi Chris, Sorry I should have said 10mm copper, I think I have a way round my problem, I’m going to buy cheap chrome iso valves and use the 15mm nuts with the 15x10 inserts I have

    Honeywell 10mm TRV compression inserts wanted

    I have Honeywell Valencia TRVs 10mm pipe size, I’m making mods to accommodate larger rads and it looks like the 10mm compression insert is special to Honeywell as all available inserts are 15mm to 10mm which do not fit as the compression nut has a 10mm hole, not a 15mm. Anyone know if you can...

    Dt30 or Dt25 Rad design

    I used the CIBSE guide, so for me it was -3 and 21 for the living room, I made a spreadsheet based on there heat loss model to include any beneficial heating from other rooms to try and get as accurate as I could with the known bits of how the house is constructed.

    Dt30 or Dt25 Rad design

    Thanks for the clarification, I will design for dt30 as I have the wall space (just) while still having room to live.
