    Up stand tanking kit for an existing wet wall shower

    Its just a standard 1700 x 800 low level tray, not a wet floor tray, just a regular shower tray sat on the floor. Essentially I think the problem stems from the shower tray not being far enough in the wall, hence the plastic corner bead. Usual scenario, the customer would like to repair rather...

    Up stand tanking kit for an existing wet wall shower

    Hi Has anyone used an "after installation" tanking kit for a shower tray to walls joint. The existing installation is a low level 1700 tray with wet wall, aka multi-panel, aka mermaid board. The joint where the two meet is currently sealed with a 25mm corner bead and silicon... a warning sign...

    Sealed System Pressure Issues

    Looking at your pictures the filling loop looks like its constantly open, shut the valves and disconnect the loop after filling. This way you know for certain the heating system can't be constantly filling. Also there are two filling loops, one near the vessel and one near the pump and PRV

    Sealed System Pressure Issues

    Reading your initial post, the pressure gauge near the expansion vessel must be getting to 2.5bar some how, perhaps fill the system to 1 bar then shut off the cold main, if the pressure doesn't rise to 2.5 again then the system must be filling from some where, eg a faulty filling loop Or...

    Air in shower pump, how likely is this?

    I'd say highly likely there will be a problem, not only by the ingress of air but also by the pump not having its own independent feed, meaning it could be starved of water. Your best course of action is to consult the manufacturers instructions or call them directly. When it comes down to...

    Urgent advice needed about hot water

    Closing or altering the valve you mention can't possibly affect the attributes of the water leaving the boiler. An example of this would be running a cold tap, half close the tap, has the attributes or chemical composition of the water changed? No, all you are doing is restricting the flow of...

    Help identifying this old radiator valve

    This old trv on a towel rail is leaking from the gland, the gland can not be repacked so I'm looking to replace it. The pipe work is old and disappears into tiles so I'd prefer not to get involved altering that! 3/4 Trv with female half inch thread instead of a nut and olive.. any ideas? The...

    Unusual waste, 80mm belfast style basin, 60mm bath waste

    Hi I'm working on a bathroom with some unusual stuff. They picked up an old basin, belfast ceramic style, small about half the size of a standard belfast sink, quite shallow. They think it was from an old chemistry lab... The diameter of the hole measures 80mm but someone has fitted a black...

    22mm Low pressure Check / non return valve, shower pump problem

    Hi Anyone know where you can get a 22mm low pressure non-return valve, it was suggested by Grundfos to combat the pump turning on when a hot tap is used... I've already put a U in the pipework coming off the essex boss. The pipe work is a little strange, it comes off the top of the cylinder...

    Undersized, un-lagged water main in a cellar

    So the existing main is definitely undersized? I suspect they have used the old commercial supply to the pub and just cobbled this together. Bad news for my mate who owns one of these properties, looks like they will be digging up the front yard to supply 5 new 25mm mains.

    Undersized, un-lagged water main in a cellar

    I know! Its a friend though and the poor sod has just bought into this mess. The whole of the basement pipe work is a joke and will freeze if not burst in a few weeks... That's easily put right though, for the right price ;) The real question is, if I were to re-install it all would 1 32mm...

    Undersized, un-lagged water main in a cellar

    Hi I'd like your opinion on this poorly installed water main, its fitted in a friends cellar. The old pub and bookies was recently converted to 4 flats and 1 terraced house. The main is certainly unclipped and un-insulated but is it undersized? For a start I would prefer 5 separate T's...
