So something like this ? And where do you get your wood from - B & Q ? BB

Thanks Johnny - that looks great! I don't - but I'll have a look into getting one. Cheers, BB

Hi There, I have a requirement for a threshold strip to go from from bedroom wood laminate floor (lower) up to bathroom tiling (upper) - but heres the problem; the height varies across the entrance width... from approx 22 - 28 mm (the tiles are level across the gap, but the laminate flooring...

Attached is a picture of the wiring centre. Obvs the white cable at the top goes to the 3-way valve pump. Thanks

Ok so I've looked in the current threads for an answer but so far had no luck in describing my situation. I have an integrated Bosch Exccel (I think!) dishwasher that has suddenly stopped working. It has just a simple manual dial/timer to select the three washing modes, and an on/off button...

Thanks for this John - I'll have a closer look

Yes - so if the Sumvic is in the 'normal' position and neither CH nor HW are currently active on the timer - and I then press HW ONLY on the timer, the HW light on the timer comes on and the boiler immediately fires up. I've noticed at the same time that both the HW in the taps and radiators...

Question - Is the wiring and operation the same for a Honeywell and a Sumvic (I have a Sumvic SD2701). Thanks

Ah - unfortunately I haven't been able to inspect how the valve moves - I'll check that. When I say I 'check the thermostat' - and yes I mean roomstat- I only mean it's turned up - I haven't checked the output from it. Many thanks for your help John Thanks Madrab - I'll have a look at the link.

So - I have a Bosch condenser boiler and conventional thermostat, timer etc. I noticed recently that when I selec tcentral heating on the timer control, the hot water also comes on. I started a thread about it here: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/sticking-sunvic-3-port-valve.375502/ OK so...

Thanks Chris (y)

Hi Chris - I took the cover off, and can turn the valve spindle by hand - up to 90 degrees and back, How tight should these valve spindles be ? It's definitely not 'stuck' and I dont need a spanner - but it's not completely free if you know what I mean ?

Thanks Chris - I'll check that out first.

Also... just a thought before I pull the trigger on a new one.... could it be that the valve itself is stuck ?

Thanks Chris - I think I'd assumed they were all S/H - but I see a few new ones are listed. Do I need to drain the system to replace, or is it just a case of removing the old white box, replacing with new and wiring up ?
