    Mega flow about to explode??

    The instructions on cylinder and external setup of pressure reducing valve and pressure relief valve do not appear compatible from your photo. This alone should warrant the attendance of a G3 qualified technician.

    Filling in hole & covering gas pipe

    Would prefer hole filled and pipe left visible. This to prevent damage when making good skirting and laying carpet.

    PEX pipe question

    Roofers.

    Clash of Trades. Rather than notch rafter at eves, carpenter took hammer to brickwork saying bricks break easy. Bricky threw brick at van saying so does your windscreen.

    Mega flow about to explode??

    If valve doesn't seal when closed:- With cold feed/combination valve open, turn off all hot water outlets and open valve again to briefly flush seating by discharge through tundish.

    2 port valve or programmer?

    The micro switch gets its power from the grey, permanent live. The motor gets its power from the brown, via call from cylinder stat and program.

    FOR SALE - REMS Amigo electric pipe threader

    Changing work may be an opportunity, but Knowledge, Skill and Tools will put bread on the table what ever the future may hold. Money could not compensate me for the bereavement felt at the loss of a bahco or match the joyful reunion.

    2 port valve or programmer?

    Absolute mystery

    With boiler off,pipework cold. Pressure system to 2.5 bar and look for leak. Evaporation on hot pipes can conceal leak. Keep pressure between 1.5 & 2.5 bar until leak found.

    Boiler won't ignite unless fan is working. If you cannot hear fan and you have 240 volts at the boiler then its a job for gas safe engineer. If mother is in receipt of state benefits then grant available for new boiler.

    Waste Manhole

    Do not panic,and certainly don't spend any money. Your Mother in Law's drainage will have an established ,"Easement by Prescription", provided it has been in use for period of 20 years. Further more any work done by the neighbour that interferes with that right will make the neighbour liable...
