    Flow rates through 2 and 3 port valves.

    Yes it me again with another question. I keep reading that one will get a better flow rate in an S plan than in a Y plan. Now I can see that being valid if both heating and hot water are called for but if only one surely the flow rate will be the same for both plans? Finally are there any makes...

Fig 1 is how the pipe work is currently, both the flow and return have tee connectors feeding the rads, the first rad is...

    stopcock no water flow

    Alright so we made a bit of a mess the other day. Pulled the washing machine out and the pipe snapped off the back of it and flooded the place. It was connected to the pipe on the right. It had a stopcock on it identical the the blue circled one, but turning it wouldn't shut the water off so it...

    2 appliance waste flow

    Hi, looking to fit a sink, with a dishwasher located next to it and a washing machine about 1.5m along. I was thinking of teeing off the one waste pipe and sticking a stand pipe with trap on for both the dishwasher and one for the washing machine. Would this be preferable or should I just use...

    Changing taps - can't work out the cold flow set up

    Hi, I am a DIY plumber and was going to change the mixer tap in the utility room (the old kitchen from the 70's) and I am puzzled by the cold flow. On the image starting from the pipes in on the bottom of the cabinet. On the left is hot, on the right is cold. The cold services the tap and the...

    Gate Valve on CH Flow/Return Loop

    I’ve recently moved into a bungalow with an open vented central heating system installed in 1987 with 8mm microbore running to the 10 radiators. One of the radiators needs replacing as it’s got a small corrosion pinhole in the body and we wanted to fit a larger towel rail anyway. Having gone...

    Flow restrictor?

    Hi I was having an issue with my outside tap, where if I turned it on too far the pressure and flow would suddenly be reduced to a trickle. Replacing the tap didn't make any difference. I've found where the pipe joins the cold water feed, and just after the isolation valve, there's another...

    water pressure and flow..what's the ideal combination

    Water pressure static is 8bar. Working pressure (if that's the term) is 6bar. Flow rate from cold water is 28-29L/min. Now this seems good (to me) but reading some suggested figures for ratings at different outlets, my readings seem almost dangerous by comparison. What should I be aiming for to...

    Priority cold water flow to combi

    I understand that its normal for output flow from a combi to reduce when the inlet cold water flow is reduced (when other outlets are opened) but is there a method/process/configuration that can be adopted to minimise the effect in the the drop in flow and in doing so, provide a priority flow...

    Do I have an overly demanding flow switch(?) on boiler?

    Caveat: I don't do boilers so no idea about them. My flow switch comment is pure guesswork based on zero understanding. If I turn my kitchen mixer tap on hot, fully on, cold fully off, about 75% of the time the combi fires up and produces hot water for a bit but will then cut out. I am not...
