A far sweeter aroma was the smell of burning paraffin rags under the nozzle of a half pint Primus blowlamp before it would fire up and you could crack on with some work.;)

Only some of us had a two handed manual drill and knew how to use it . I had a touch of the Brace & bits the other day but I'm fine now.....

Oh yes they were a fecker to keep centered:eek: The Enox hole cutter was the tool back in the day, powered by a Wolf or Stanley Bridges all metal bodied electric drill. ;)

Boss white, Hawk white, Jet blue....or whatever you want to call it.....maybe its that white tape, some say that its initials mean 'plumbers tape for everything'......lol dab a bit on the threads of the joints not on the olive to create a false seal that will fail over time. Ground faced unions...

From my untrained eye. I have seen low level ventilation holes in the gas bottle lockers on many boats off of the south coast, the lockers are normally midships or very close to the wheelhouse. You cant beat a bit of wreck fishing! :) And one of the safety warnings given in the briefing by the...

Fitted loads of these boilers when they first arrived on the market, such a shame as the original Kingfisher wasn't that bad but not as good as the diplomat! Only the early MF's ' CF or RS had the sight glass ;)

There's more to this post than has been described, makes me wonder why I bother coughing up the expense of being registered anymore...blind leading the blind?

I'm doing very well thank you, 13 rad wet heating system from warm air last week, Monday and Tuesday ripped out and converted a Cf 180 to some thing more suitable. Wednesday and today ripped out a Powermax 155 and converted it to a combi. Tomorrow just a powerflush, new pump. This asshole is...

Someones gone silent....

Its a gravity check valve/non return valve. Just replace it with a straight connector.

It looks like its a rodding point.

Where does the flexible grey pipe on the condensate lead to, I can see it leading to the outside but I cannot see it outside? Surely its not just left draining into the wall cavity?

The mystery device is just a pipe connector, it is called a Johnson coupling.

Have a good look, and check the two orange and the two grey connections from the motorised valves within the wiring centre.

It definitely looks like a Warix, Warwick flange or whatever you want to call it! to me. A Surrey flange normally uses male iron fittings to connect onto it, a Warix does not. The only thing that I can think of with air being introduced to the pumped air free supply is that the cowl on the...

Scroll down to page 10 on this link. http://www.salamanderpumps.co.uk/Media/Default/PDFs/CT%20Pump%20Installaton%20Guidlelines%20%282011,%20issue%2016%29.pdf

The Warwick flange is correctly fitted in the picture, the air free supply is indeed the top outlet! Do not confuse a Warwick flange with a Surrey flange.

One of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-2-Brass-M-x-F-Tap-Extension-/111029620630

No. but if I ever had a claim on my public liability insurance due to a failed joint I wouldn't tell them that Ive been experimenting with what suits me. Neat joints are easy, I'll get my son to show you how :P

Mixing fluxes between different manufactures, using something designed to be used somewhere else, IE thin little electric wires will eventually end in tears in someone else's house. :?:
