    I CANNOT VIEW THE FORUM WITHOUT ONSCREEN ADVERTS OBSCURING WEBPAGE

    Hello All, I know that this is a question for a Forum Moderator and probably should be posted in a section about the Forum itself but I was hoping to get some replies from Members about whether this is happening to anyone else: When I logged into the Forum this afternoon and went to look down...

    How to adjust radiator height without?

    Hello again Mixmaker, I hope that I am understanding your question about whether it was acceptable for someone to have hung the radiator that you are asking about 10mm out of level ? The answer is NO unless as I and other Members previously described it was to overcome the radiator looking...

    How to adjust radiator height without?

    Hello Mixmaker, Radiators must almost always be installed level using a spirit level not only because that is the correct way for appearance purposes but also so that there cannot be air trapped in a corner / section at the top of the radiator which is higher than the radiator air vent - unless...

    How do I find a (small) leak from pressurised system

    Hello again John.g, From a combination of reading your explanation and what I was thinking when I wrote my first and second replies to you I have realised that when the initial pressurisation of a sealed Heating system is done - for example to the recommended cold temperature pressure of 1 Bar...

    How do I find a (small) leak from pressurised system

    Hello John.g, Thanks for replying with the explanation. I had not taken into consideration the additional capacity that the Expansion vessel reserve volume has - however that expansion capacity is only pertinent if it is being used when the system water has expanded due to being heated...

    How do I find a (small) leak from pressurised system

    Hello John.g, I cannot agree with what you stated about the pressure drop falling faster because the Combi Boiler Expansion vessel was isolated from the Heating system - however I am open to further explanation if you feel happy to write it ? Here are my views: When the Combi Boiler Flow and...

    How do I find a (small) leak from pressurised system

    Hello again JImCPN, Thanks for letting us know that information - it rules out what I was describing regarding a PRV dripping. When you describe seeing the other pressure gauge dropping do you mean that you were watching it over a period of time / during a few days or that the gauge was...

    Over-complicating DWV

    Hello Inthenickoftime, As You are in the USA I would advise posting your question on a US Plumbing Forum because although we know that the main principles of Venting Soil and Waste stacks should be similar in both of our Countries I know from reading posts on some US Plumbing Forums and...

    How do I find a (small) leak from pressurised system

    Hello JImCPN, I take it that You have a Heat only Boiler - not a Combi / Heating & Hot Water Boiler ? The reason I ask is just to check what happened when your Boiler installers isolated the Boiler from the Heating system Radiators and Pipework and still saw a pressure drop: If the Boiler is...

    Hello bilabonic, I had exactly the same problem when I had a contract to re-plumb a block of 19 flats that were previously a 1950`s Police station accommodation block - there were cast iron baths in every flat - some of the taps had been fitted using Putty & Paint under the tap flanges and in...

    Washing Machine Standpipe Setup

    Hello Georgem1994, Good advice from our very experienced Members. As Member Centralheatking stated the Washing machine standpipe is definitely too short - it needs to be extended to as high up in the Sink unit as possible with just enough gap under the Sink to hook the Washing Machine waste...

    NEW YEAR PLANS for younger engineers

    NEW YEAR PLANS for younger engineers

    Hello OffshoreGas, The Gas Safe statistic of only 5.9% of Gas Engineers / Gas Installers being aged under 35 is obviously correct because it came from an audit of the Gas Safe register so that is a definite indicator of a future Skills shortage in the Gas Industry. That obviously means that...
