    Ferolli boiler leaking water from gas valve

    I have a ferolli HE31C and it has developed a water leak that appears to be from a porous casing in the gas valve. I can not see where water even enters the gas valve as I presume the gas goes in the bottom and out of the top of the valve. To check this out I dried it off and put some sealant...

    screw in direct cistern valve replacement

    Leaking toilet - needs replacement flush valve but existing screws direct into cistern not fixed with nurt and seal. How do I get this type of valve or is the thread size the same as the spigot and nut type so I get one of the latter and dispose of the nut & seal?

    Knock in the pipes when valve shuts

    Hi All, I hope you are doing well. I have a problem. Not sure if this was always like that or something is degrading. Whenever the toilet refills when it finishes there is a knock in the pipes. The same happens when the washing machine finishes taking water. Is this because there is too tight...

    Water heater drain valve drip

    Hello. My home's Rheem water heater is dripping from the drain valve. It is strange as it seems to sometimes spit out some water and then stop and then occurs again. I have a little plastic bucket to collect the water, probably about 3 cups of water in a 24 hour period. I was doing some...

    Non return valve failure?

    Hi there, All was good until one day the hot water suddenly started running quite a lot cooler. Putting my hand on the output at the boiler it's still hot there so I'm guessing there's a problem with cold water feeding into the hot water somewhere along the line. I have mixer taps on two...
