But that’s the only thing that has changed. (According to the customer)It might come to that but there’s just no logic to it
No only since the taps were replaced. Unfortunately tenant can’t remember what sort of taps were there
No mateits not new build is it?
I completely agree with you from what I can tell the boiler works perfectly albeit is the Biasithen if all else is ok it must be the bath taps. can you put your temp sensor on the hot flow from the boiler and watch that
The heat must be going somewhere. Are you sure the rads aren't getting hot (whether you want them to or not) when the hot runs cold? Might be problem with the 3-port valve in the boiler. I would switch it to hot water only mode and see if it happens, and if the boiler continues to fire if it does.Yeah and the boiler continues to fire. It’s almost as if the hot water is diverting elsewhere but it’s not
Sounds like you have discovered a new law of thermodynamicsI went back last week the radiators are categorically not getting hot. I have quoted for new taps

Make sure you get a photoI wake up in the middle of the night thinking about this one, make sure you report back lol
If its the taps I will show my arse on the townhall steps.

Ha ha perhaps I have, the only thing changed there is the taps, from speaking to the last tenant there was never a problem since they’ve put these ones on with a much greater flow there has been a problem. There’s no other logic to it unfortunatelySounds like you have discovered a new law of thermodynamics
I’m glad it tortures your brain like it does mineI wake up in the middle of the night thinking about this one, make sure you report back lol

I still think the 3-port valve is the most likely culprit.I’m glad it tortures your brain like it does mine
Not for the first time, I was wrong! Good that you've cracked it.Right, update. Changed to quarter turn pillar bath mixer tap maximum 9 lpm maximum and the problem has gone. I cannot see what the reduced lpm would have done but it seems to have done the trick.
Thanks all for your thoughts it remains a head scratcher
You are welcome mate. Taps are a weird thing sometimes.Right, update. Changed to quarter turn pillar bath mixer tap maximum 9 lpm maximum and the problem has gone. I cannot see what the reduced lpm would have done but it seems to have done the trick.

28 I believe mate
As I say though mate doesn’t affect any other outlet. Kitchen sink buckets out hot, basin buckets out hot. LL didn’t want floors up to check pipework etc so taps was his cheap fix. As I say just a mystery that hot would just cut out from the tap after 10-15 mins
