    Commercial FGA

    None of that rubbish like you have with the Kane's then, 90s purge before you can use it??

    Commercial FGA

    Forgive my ignorance on this, will the Testo do domestic and commercial boilers?? Also, what about creating certificates etc or printouts for them. Does it make that easy? What's good about them??

    Hi all, Starting to do some commercial boiler servicing at work. For direct and indirect boilers/water heaters including domestic what's the best FGA to look at??

    That's it.

    Best Way To Unstuck TRVs

    Yup, not the ones with the sensors on the wall. Ones designed for radiator covers where the head is on the cover itself and there's a capillary wire between head and actuator.

    Best Way To Unstuck TRVs

    Will take a look and photograph one tomorrow and see what we can do with it. Am looking at so called intelligent TRVs but none seem to work with a capillary tube running from the control on the side of the panel to the head on the pipework.

    Best Way To Unstuck TRVs

    TBH haven't taken covers off to look at them yet. The ones I did on Friday in another building are though. Any chance of a photo of the ones you mean? The idea of replacing over 100 of them fills me with horrible thoughts.. Can't believe there's not a decent solution out there to inject a...

    Best Way To Unstuck TRVs

    Wondered whether lubricating them would help longer term. One person I spoke to suggested high temperature grease worked into the pin works wonders? Should add that the TRVs have remote sensors due to radiator covers so would very quickly get expensive to replace in terms of labour and time!

    Best Way To Unstuck TRVs

    So as I'm going to be doing over a hundred of these next week, I was wondering what you guys think is the best way to do this. Not looking for a short term fix, really after what works well longer term. Replacing them all isn't really an option that's desirable if it can be avoided as it's on...

    Loctite 55

    Yes not supposed to be removable but then if they are as reliable as they were when we installed them can't see you needing to. All joints go together in seconds perfectly. When guns become more affordable I can see them taking off big style. So much less time/hassle than soldering.

    Loctite 55

    Or a set of wide jaw adjustables. Was tightening up one thread on the floor. He was standing on one stilsons while I did the other. Kept lifting him off the floor lol. Good lad though, very helpful!

    Loctite 55

    Haha, best summed up by the maintenance guy who popped into the plant room whilst I was doing one up with 2' stilsons - 'Jesus is that sweat on your back??' I also think I have broken our 9st apprentice..

    Loctite 55

    Fair one re aesthetics! All but the unions were prefabricated off site so glue had a week to dry. Both union connections got 22 hours before pressure put through it. To be fair nothing coming out at all and we were there tidying up for 45 mins afterwards. Couldn't do 24hrs for operational...

    Loctite 55

    Oh ok. Would it have saved any joints? One thing I noticed today is 54mm conpression fittings seem a bit prone to weeping when tightened up!

    We're there :) tried the Loctite 55 again today. Must have just been a tight thread on the first one. Worked a treat on the second one today :) Broken my commercial plumbing virginity :) Non-insulated pipe at the back is mine!

    Water consumption for small hospital

    40 ish in patients, circa 100 staff in from 9-5. Skeleton nursing staff overnight just to keep things running. 6000L of cold and hot used from 11:00-16:30 yesterday. Another 6000L used from 16:30-03:00 this morning when the tanks ran dry!! I closed off bathrooms at 16:30 yesterday so is it...
