    Hello All, Although I would not really encourage people to have old Boilers moved - I have moved quite a few in my working life - almost all of them for exactly the same reason that Stuart2017 / the OP has asked about - and a couple to make room for new Kitchens wall units to be fitted. All of...

    Hello gmartine, The fitting that You gave the link to is a `3/4" Male Iron to 15mm Copper` - the 3/4" threaded end will not accept a Pipe + Nut & Olive. The MIC fitting is for screwing into a 3/4" female thread and then connecting to a 15mm Copper pipe. Chris

    Homeowner who had plumber sign of gas work investigated

    Hello All, I was at Home on the day that this was broadcast and I watched the program - it was quite recently - within the last couple of weeks.

    Hello Shaun, I am sure that You are correct. Having heard about similarly described Heating system additives a couple of years ago what surprises me is that the article / free publicity was selected for inclusion in what I know is a well regarded / relevant online Gas & Heating Industry...

    combustion analysis on space heaters.

    combustion analysis on space heaters.

    Hello again bob12, I was not suggesting that You would use the ratios that you asked about to falsify any Gas Appliance documentation. Having since seen Member Shaun`s reply to you I did think when writing my previous message to ask you what you wanted the figures for - BUT - I thought that...
