Maybe some kind of plume diverter would be of use? :wink:

Ive actually still got a couple of new, spare thermistors (the black overheat one and the red one) that I haven't thrown out yet. if you want to PM me your address then Id be happy to post them to you. :)

If pies are being used for venting then food safety regulations need looking at as well. [edit] Damn beaten to it :oops:

Hi mossman, I had a Barcelona for about 10 years, I got it changed for something a bit better in May this year. Bear in mind that I'm no plumber......I would guess that if it works sometimes, the green light is on and there's no fan noise, clicking or red light then it must think that it's up...

Wow :o First of all, Im only an end-user/homeowner with an interest and who's recently had a Viessmann boiler & Weather comp fitted. I am not an experienced installer like D_Hailsham & ianniann. I may be guilty of using the incorrect terminology. First of all ianniann I fully accept that...

Im not sure that you'll have a room stat, my 200 doesnt. You set a 'set-point' on the boiler control & it tries to match this by changing the flow temperature, measuring the outside temp & looking at the heatloss curve. Ive found that the system works best (for my situation) by leaving all...

Im not sure why your radiator size would affect the functioning of weather compensation. I had a Viessmann 200-w fitted a couple of weeks ago & the weather comp tries to keep the radiators at a pre-determined temperature (according to the set-point, external temperature, heat loss graph etc)...

Sounds like a lot of hard work to me! Why not spend your efforts on insulating the house & getting weather compensation with your new boiler?

Im curious :o Why do they think this?

Hi Grunt, Im only a DIYer but I had to repair some half inch alkathene recently and was pointed (on this forum) to use a Philmac fitting. Admittedly I was joining onto mdpe but they do fittings to connect to copper as well. Also you dont require an insert for the alkathene part - I checked...

Thanks Nige F, much appreciated :)

Hello, I have a mid-60s built bungalow that has a leak in the external water supply pipe (between the stop-cock & house). There is black plastic pipe running from the external stop-cock which is about 21mm diameter as best as I can tell, it joins to a 17mm black plastic pipe with a a brass...

Tell him that it should appear shortly after 'Vaillant' :wink:

OK Thanks both.

Hi When doing some renovation work in the kitchen I put in a 'mini-ring' circuit to supply a future new cooker & dishwasher. The wiring is in standard 2.5mm2 and goes to a 32amp MCB in the consumer unit. There will be no outlets or other applances on the circuit. The time has now come to...
