Thanks, I have a Pegler PB300 lever valve that I was going to use to act as a shut off when not in use to minimise the "constant pressure" but 15 bar would be more than enough as I never need the compressor above that (runs 3 brad nailers and a random orbital sander). Thanks, how would I wet...

Hi all, I know this strictly isn't a plumbing question, per se, so apologies in advance. I have just recently built a new workshop in my garden, just for hobbyist woodworking and messing around mainly. And in here I want to run air line up the walls and over the roof to keep from having...

Any ideas on where to find a 15g nailer? All I seem to be able to find are 16 or 18. Happy to hand hammer on the shed build, yeah will take me longer but for the garage wall boards I would be there forever.

You reckon the 18g nails would hold? I mean, I trust it for making cabinets and bench tops but holding 8 x 4 sheets up? I can pick the 12mm MDF up for £5 per board, OSB would be nearly double. The garage is leak free and doesn't get too damp. Cold yeah, but never really had issues with damp...

Not sure if this is the right sub forum for this question, if not please move. I have a couple of jobs to get done, first is lining my garage walls with 12mm MDF (I have already fitted the stud frame to the concrete panel walls using 89 x 38mm CLS) and want to nail the MDF sheets rather than...

Afternoon all, Just had a new kitchen fitted, and lovely as it is, I now need to lay laminate to finish it off. Now, I have experience of laying laminate in living rooms and bedrooms but never a kitchen, so when I come up against a kitchen unit end panel that is down to floor level, how much...

Good day all, Getting the kitchen replaced shortly and moving the dishwasher to stand on it's own on the other side of the kitchen. Got a 40mm waste spurred off of the WC basin next door and a 15mm cold feed with stop valve. Now, does the dishwasher need a P trap or can it be connected...

Ok so magnet didn't seem to stick to any pipes around the pump area. And it gets more weird. I shut the hot water off and shut off all of the rads except the one that needs bled all the time. Then bled it fully until it was hot. Then let it run on its own for 30 minutes. No air issue. Then I...

I only ask as the pressure at the draincock is quite high when it's drained and empties quite quickly. I will try and find a magnet (not something I tend to have around) and check the joint pipe.

Thanks, if it were blocked would the F&E tank drain fully when the draincock is opened? How would the water get out if there is a blockage?

Update on this and still issues but now different issues. Had no heating for a day on Thursday after it all seemed to go pete tong. So plumber came out Friday. He deemed there was circulation, albeit poor, and put x400 in through the kitchen rad. It has definitely circulated as its in all of...

So wee update. Not sure what to make of it. Worst offending rad was the 300 x 1100 in the bedroom. Only ever got "warm". I isolated all of the other rads and left that one for 15 minutes and it got hot. Not burning but hotter than it's ever been. So I set about draining it and disconnecting...

I haven't looked at the bypass (mainly because it's in a tiny crawl space behind the hot water cylinder and I am a little on the large side for it - but will try and squeeze in). What setting should I have it on before I start to isolate each cold rad (or is it ALL rads I need to do?) I totally...

Cheers. Its vented. F&E tank didnt look overly dirty when I drained it. Not to say it wasnt dirty enough to cause an issue though. Got heat at all inlets so does logic dictate the issue is on the return side(s)?

Question on this, if I isolate a rad and disconnect it, when I open the lock shield on the return side should I get a flow of water or is that only expected on the inlet side?
