What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

My end to the week turned up to a load of boxes ugh flat pack and missing the toilet front panel

Me personally I think the cisterns too big for the unit as the flush pipe is cutting it close 😀

Finished this off this week. We usually do the lot but they insisted on their own tiler, who’s been a disaster and screwed through 3 of my shower pipes. The place where they’ve bought their stuff has been rubbish to, had loads more hassle on this job than when we just do the lot ourselves.

How come you've not come off each zone from the LLH, just trying to save on pumps?

The kit has all been supplied, im just fitting.
Its not a huge system (18 rads) but a very tall house and the boiler is in the basement.

Have you not sized the distribution pipework on secondary side of LLH for its target velocity? I was always told design for .5m/s.

Honestly. No and I wouldnt know how to.
Its 2 heating zones, 9 column rads each, 28mm pipework

 

[SJB060685]

What's the flow rate when all zones are demanding and I'll work out the velocity?
