Hi,
First time post so apologies in advance if this is not in the correct part if the forum. I’ve got a Thermostatic shower where the cartridges have ceased up and the fascia has some scale / wear and tear and I’m looking to replace it. For the life of me I cannot find any info or branding on...
I recently fitted one of these SC50T32 after the, not very old, one started to constantly drip water from the shower head. All went well with the handy video on the utra site Technical - https://www.homeofultra.co.uk/technical but water continually drips from the spindle where the temperature is...
Hi all, I've been researching and planning a job for my home the past few days and a few pieces of advice would be welcome to help me along the way.
I have a cloakroom toilet which has a toilet and a sink, where the sink currently is there is good room to put a small shower cubicle and a...
I installed Jaquar Fusion thermostatic bath shower mixers during a conversion in 2007. I let the properties out. They have lasted pretty well with the thermostatic and diverter cartridges needing replacing every now and again - some are possibly still the original. Can't really complain about...
Got a porcelanosa shower mixer and i need to change the thermostatic valve. It shows that a special tool might be required to remove it. Can u advise? Thanks
Are there fundamental differences in some of these TMVs?. The attached one, below, would seem to be the better type where a shuttle moves to balance the hot&cold flows, as it increases one flow it decreases the other to keep the mixed flow constant, necessary say in showers etc. I have seen...
I have NuHeat UFH system, and this has no Thermostatic Blending valve on the heating circuit. (Heat Master II cylinder has pick up coil)
Nu-Heat System installed -
This means I can't run store above 60C due to risk of overheating UFH pipes.
I want to add a Thermostatic Mixing valve so have...
Hi everyone. Apologies - I'm new, but I promise to try and be an active member of the forum :)
We're doing some decorating just now and it was suggested that we take off the radiators to make it easier for the plasterer. We decided to have a go ourselves rather than getting someone in for...
Hi
I'm looking for a replacement thermostatic cartridge for this shower which was purchase in 2018 from Victorian Plumbing. The stock code was SK001. I saw another thread about this but I don't think there was ever a definitive answer. If not a replacement cartridge then if anyone has...
Hi, the other day I had a plumber over to fit a new TRV to a radiator on the ground floor. During the process I noticed the pipe connecting the valve to the piping under the floorboards was not properly clamped and was turning first counter and then clockwise. When the valve was fitted the pipe...
Hi I have a Pulsar underfloor heating manifold with a leaky thermostatic valve. Plumber has managed to stop leak by tightening nut but this is 2nd time it’s leaked through ceiling in few months so was hoping to renew. However plumber been unable source a replacement/ equivalent as I know Pulsar...
Hi, I hope this is the correct place to ask this.
I've been given a bunch of smart TRV's to put on my radiators at home. Mostly they've gone on fine (to these valves)
but 2 of my radiators have the manual valves shown in this image:
My question is, can I just remove that core and...
Hello everyone.
I hope that someone can provide some guidance on something I can’t figure out how it is done
Essentially my plumber has put in my thermostatic shower before the tiles have gone up
So now I need to remove the mixer and the blanking plates to tile and then to refit them...
I have a Bristan mixer shower. It started leaking from the temperature control. A local plumber replaced the thermostatic cylinder. It now doesn't leak - but the water is now 15-20 per cent colder than it was before when the temperature is at max hot. Why? What's amiss here?
Could someone give me a heads-up as to the cost of a plumber to replace a thermostatic cartridge in a Bristan mixer bar shower. I have the cartridge, so the cost would be labour only. I live in Norfolk, so not London prices. I had a guy come round this morning quoting me £75 - this seems...
I have recently fitted a thermostatic external mixer shower in my bathroom. The problem is that when it is set to the highest possible temperature its only luke warm at best. The hot water in my house is generated from a combi boiler which should be able to deliver a hot water flowrate of...
