MMatt0029 posted the thread Shower luke warm after turning the water on and off. in UK Plumbers Forums.Any ideas why a bar shower maybe running like warm after having turned the water on and off to do some other work? Thanks

MYou can weight it down, but make sure whatever you put in the bath will not damage it, eg: sand bags or other heavy but soft items, baths can easily scratch, so if you have to use heavy hard items, then put a large dust sheet or similar...

MMatt0029 replied to the thread Weighing down bath before siliconing.Was thinking maybe pillows then some weights on top of those if I need to
-
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Weighing down bath before siliconing.I need to silicone before I fit the taps. Guess I can swap the waste. Fill bath. Then silicone then swap the taps
-
MTbh I wouldn’t as the risk of damage is high you could try bags of sand
-
MThe best way to weigh down the bath before you seal round the bath to the tile, is to half fill the bath with water, wait until the sealant has dried then empty the bath. Use a decent quality sealant, job done.
-
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Weighing down bath before siliconing.Thanks I need to silicone before I cut the taps really. Unless I fill before I swap I also need to swap the waste on this visit
-
MI have a bath to silicone that I can fill with water before I silicone. Can I put some some weights or something in the bath to mimic the weight of a bath full of water. Anyone had to do this before?

MMatt0029 replied to the thread Shared main swapping internal stop tap.Would that be the preferred method if installing an isolation ok the MDPE feed pipe externally to the property?
-
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Shared main swapping internal stop tap.If did it outside this would be the best stop tap for it? It's 25mm MDPE

MMatt0029 replied to the thread Shared main swapping internal stop tap.A pit as in a access eye then a stop tap below. The internal stop tap doesn't work 😞
-
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Shared main swapping internal stop tap.Thanks yes it would just remove the hassle of writing to the other houses on the main. This is the end house. And can see the MDPE going in to this house down a hole the builders left. So could squeeze this off to avoid turning all the...

Like.
Yep squeeze off tool is ok providing your not close to a fitting eg within 6” -
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Shared main swapping internal stop tap.Thanks Shaun so if I can get it on the external MDPE that is on show. Maybe better then turning the shared main off possibly?
-
MNo worries. I’m particularly “risk adverse” with jobs especially when it affects people other than customer. Some water board can get arsey if you use main stopcock and then it doesn’t work properly. Severn Trent seem okay about it...
-
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Shared main swapping internal stop tap.Thanks a squeeze off tool maybe an option if I can get to the MDPE pipe on show?
-
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Shared main swapping internal stop tap.Thanks didn't think about that. There is some MDPE you can see in the garden down a hole that is the supply to this house individually off the shared main. Maybe I could use a squeeze off tool on this? To avoid knocking the main off.
-
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Shared main swapping internal stop tap.Turn mains off turn back on and toilet fill valve messes up or something?
-
MWhat's the official/best way of doing this. Turning water off to a property to swap the internal stop tap. With the house being on a shared main. Around 6 houses on it I think.

MMatt0029 replied to the thread Fitting temperature stop concealed shower.Thanks how do you set the dial 1737787723 It has a plastic over clip like this should it be lined up so you cant move it past 38c without pressing the button down? 1737924551 Figures it out the stop on these are a total stop unlike a...

MMatt0029 replied to the thread Fitting temperature stop concealed shower.It's a a line on the splines wondered if this was anything to do with it?

MHow do you set this on a concealed shower cartilage is it ment to be so that when the shower is at its hottest the knob is at the 12 o'clock position. Then you have to press the button on to move it further. So the shower goes hotter...
-
MOpen zone on ashp to get maximum efficiency As for zoning eg upstairs and down you don’t increase the Heatloss you just increase the demand eg downstairs will temper upstairs eg if downstairs is 20 upstairs will be around 18 if not heated
-
MHas the thoughts on zoning systems now changed especially with heat pumps. As we need the free volume area to stop the compressor cycling. Also if zone rooms/areas we are increasing heat loss to that area? Thanks for your thoughts
-
MCorrect normally r410a

MMatt0029 replied to the thread Air to air heating.Thanks so is it refrigerant that runs in the pipes to cassettes in the building that blow warm/cold air?
-
MIt is air con Ok For smaller loads / individual rooms eg offices / garden rooms
-
MHas anyone installed more of this? It's basically Aircon. But used for heating purposes?
-
MMatt0029 posted the thread Efficiency of air source heat pump water cylinders in UK Plumbers Forums.Does anyone know the efficiency levels of the unvented hot water cylinders with a heat pump on top with vents to get the air in to it. I think I'm correct in saying a normal direct unvented cylinder will be 1kw of electric to 1kw of heat
-
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Boiler cycling.Thanks. Gave their technical department a ring. They mentioned to test the resistance on the primary thermistor. If that's within within the limits. Maybe a PCB issue. Imagine it's a hard fault to find.
-
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Boiler cycling.Thanks and the capacitor could stop sending another power to the pump?
-
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Boiler cycling.Thanks were is the capacitor not had anything to do with these on pumps before.
-
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Concealed shower not getting hot.All the pipework is concealed so not sure about a non return valve
-
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Concealed shower not getting hot.It's from a cylinder. Everywhere else is getting hot water.
-
MMatt0029 replied to the thread Boiler cycling.Is there anyway of checking the capacitor on the pump? Or how the pump is performing?
-
MCan this be anything other then the thermostatic cartridge? What stops it allowing the hot water side through. Thanks
