    Drain hot water pipes

    Hi, I'm going to fit a shower pump to the hot water pipe highlighted in the attached image. Just wanted to double-check my thinking: there's a valve on the cold feed to the cylinder so if I shut that off and run a downstairs hot tap until nothing comes out is that enough to empty the pipe I'm...

    Do I really need to drain the system

    I am upgrading to a Type 22 radiator in my kitchen as I'm now working from my kitchen table and it's never quite warm enough in here.

    Hope you're well. After finding a leak on our CH drain off valve (that our servicer missed)... have realised it's very close to the boiler flue, like impossible to use and right up against it. It's on the return CH and hidden behind the flue. What do people think? I'm going to drain down and...

    Adding tee on feed pipe to drain system

    Hi, I have a two-pipe fully pumped S plan open vented system. When I drained it last time, I had the impression there is some sludge or dirt around it. I therefore am going to drain it again to install a magnetic filter. I was thinking of taking this chance to add a tee on the feed pipe (the...

    Worcester boiler condensate won't drain.

    Good afternoon all, I have a Worcester boiler installed recently. It was moved from the first floor to the loft. Existing 22mm condense pipe was extended to the loft. It looks like the old pipe has no slope and prevents air to get into the boiler condensate trap, preventing condensate to drain...

    Washing Machine Drain Hose

    Hi All I have found that the drain hose from the washing machine is being squashed. This is preventing the washing machine from draining. How can I stop this from happening? The main problem is the washing machine is a tight fit and has to be pushed right back as far as possible. Any ideas? Jim

    Plastic kitchen drain pipe needs to fix into ceramic soil pipe, nr Redruth Cornwall UK

    My kitchen waste pipe discharges into a pipe going to my soakaway. It has now unsurprisingly become blocked (about 6 m from the drain). The soil pipe from the toilet to my septic tank passes underground about 1 m away from the end of the kitchen waste pipe with a good enough slope for the...

    Condensate drain connection to rainwater drain

    I'm going to have to get by boiler replaced which means provision needs to be made for a condensate drain as the old boiler didn't have one. The boiler is in the garage, that is part of the house, if that makes sense. The house was built in 1999. There is no convenient internal drain. Outside...
