Tickly T : Thank you. π (that's Pi) confirms 22mm so I will be getting the chrome wall plate elbow, ASAP.

I had a problem with no HW. .. but when I turned the m/v manually (from "Normal" to "Flush") , hot water rushed through to the cylinder. Then I replaced the whole m/v and the value it sits on top of and it fixed the problem. During the post mortem, I found a slight build up of a...

Yes, most erudite. Hey but the shiny pipes are the dog's nuts.

I need to extend my horizontal pipe so that the Aqualisa shower head is further away from the wall. I was thinking of installing either a fixed straight longer pipe or the more usual flexible hose. What can I / how can I buy something that might do the job. Will I ahve to replace the...

Thanks gents. I will replace the Sunvic manual room stat first, and if that fails, the m/v then report back. Cheers.

My conventional Ideal Standard Mexico boiler works 100% OK and it turns HW and CH totally off and on, exactly at the times I have programmed. However, my house is getting very warm because (during "On" periods) the CH is not being switched off by the wall thermostat when the desired...
