    Got very limited notes on my new b&Q toilet. How/what type of connector do I use to connect the cold water supply ? The plastic pipe out of the toilet has a 1/2 nut on it, so I'm presuming it 1/2. There's no pipe work at the moment as I'm moving everything around, so I've got some nasty...

    thermostatic shower - supply water too hot ?

    Its a triton antares if that helps. Tried to restrict the hot, but that just means it takes long for the hot water to come through and then thermo cutoff. Are the temp mixer suppose to get stiff when they can't be turned down , or is that a symptom of the hot water ?

    thermostatic shower - supply water too hot ?

    CH failing - cold feed blocked ?

    the plumber who does the safety cert was the one that checked it out. I tried to flush the system on his recommendation to see if that would remove the airlock. The plumber couldn't get the system recirculating, and so wants to rebuild the system around the motorized valves as he thinks there...
