    Are deaerators really worth fitting?

    Hi All I'm only a DIY'er, I have always had air in my system, I thought it was the result of the 20 year old Glow Worm boiler and corrosion from that. During the summer I had a new Atag boiler fitted by one of their recognised fitters. Really pleased with the boiler but still seem to be getting...

    Old plastic/ rubber pipe and compatible fitting?

    Hi, a stopcock has seized and I need to replace it but the pipe is an unusual rubber/ plastic material. It’s approximately an inch ID. Has anyone got any advice for replacement compatible fittings? Will it need inserts etc? Thanks in advance and some pics below.

    Valve fitting orientation... horizontal / vertical ?

    Dear all, i’ll get this out of the way first... I’m not a plumber, however i’ve done a fair amount albeit a long time ago (in a galaxy far far away), and i’m after a bit of ‘best practice’ advice, apologies if this is perhaps a daft question ! When fitting, for example, a full-bore pegler type...

    Are TRVs mandatory when fitting a new boiler in 2019?

    Evening all, Could someone please clarify this question for me? My interpretation of the current situation is that since Boiler Plus omitted to reintroduce the requirement that all new boiler installs need TRVs on the rads it has been recognised by the EU EPBD and the Government's Domestic...

    Slow hot water after fitting new immersion tank

    Can someone please tell me what I have done wrong. Fitted a new tank exactly as old one recently but since then the hot water pressure up and downstairs has been really low. (E.g. A good 10/15 mins to fill kitchen sink) It is a gravity fed system. No gas. So far tried to clear any airlocks...

    Is fitting a new boiler in the cellar ok?

    I have an old tank for my hot water system, I'm wanting to have central heating and a combi installed. My options for placing the combi are pretty limited without it being in the way. The gas pipe and electrics all come into the cellar. Would it be an option to install a new boiler in the...

    Fitting a PRV in a tight space.

    I'm about to replace my house stopcock (gatevalve) with a new one (Pegler Lever Ball) and thought I'd take the opportunity to add a Honeywell D05F Pressure Reducing Valve and a Fernox Electrolytic Scale Reducer. However, 'the book' says the PRV must be followed by a straight length of pipe...

    Bathroom Basin fitting

    Hello, Is it a must to fix the pedastal to the sink and the skin to the wall? I didnt really want to screw into my tiles, but knowing silicone is a good adhesive is it sufficient? Should the Sink be level front to back all, or should it have a tilt backwards to allow the skin to empty fully...

    Steel pipe fitting without thread.

    Hi I've got a steel pipe that's snapped off in the wall (see the photo). It travels through the wall and into a screeded floor. Is there a fitting suitable for gas or a way to thread the pipe without chopping half the wall away?

    Grohe tap fitting 15mm flexi vs 21(?)mm valve thread

    Hello, I’m trying to fit a new Grohe tap. Flexi hoses are 15mm and don’t fit the 21mm (guessing it could be 22mm?) existing thread on the water feed valves. See pictures attached. Is there an adapter I can buy? Or do I need to replace the valve for a 15mm one? The copper pipework itself for...

    Hi, I have a 6 months old hot water cylinder (vented) to which there are top and bottom immersion rods fitted. Only the bottom was connected so I have just put in a "sink/bath" change over switch. The bottom one works fine but the top one trips the RCD when the thermostat is in the on...
