repair

The technical meaning of maintenance involves functional checks, servicing, repairing or replacing of necessary devices, equipment, machinery, building infrastructure, and supporting utilities in industrial, business, and residential installations. Over time, this has come to include multiple wordings that describe various cost-effective practices to keep equipment operational; these activities occur either before or after a failure.

    How would you approach this repair?

    Hi, access is good here, from my experience retrofitting connections to stack at high level (inaccessible via ladder) is just a bad idea. Would the only reliable way be to fit a boss socket? Leave the tee in or go in the wall and put a new tee in? (leak is on the 1 1/2" connection to 4") Cheers!

    Is it possible to 'repair' a Hep2O (Wavin) UFH flow control?

    After balancing the flows, one of these blighters has started to drip very slowly from under the red cap. It feels loose to turn, so I suspect the seal around the spindle is to blame. It won't be 'worn' as such, as they don't get fiddled with for years, but this tiny adjustment was seemingly...
