Hi, I would like to add some sockets to my lounge. At present, there are two sockets daisy chained off the distribution point near the ceiling. Three 2,5mm wires drop down to the first socket and continue horizontally to the second socket 4m away. I want to put to double sockets at each...

Has anyone experienced "leaking" on the new Ferroli Modena condensing boilers? We installed one this afternoon and liquid began seeping out from the bottom of the case via the gas tube. On opening the boiler we found that the tube which (probably) collects flu condensate is just stuffed into a...

So overhere Uponor (from Germany) is no.1 and the most expensive. Hep2o (french?) doesnt have much of a presence and the local player Braseli seems to be exceptional value. The specs are very similar, all rated at 50yrs (70 deg/ 10bar). Braseli has more metal accessories (but no plastic...

Manufacturers of MCLP recommend limiting water flow by section of pipe (<1 m/s main distribution, <0,5 m/s radiator circuits, <0,3 m/s in radiator pipes) but I cant find anything about minimum recommended flows. I’m designing a system using radiators designed to run as low a delta 30 (ie...

I’m wondering whether to install MLCP or copper to feed radiators. We could run copper along the skirting board but there are sections it would be best to hide the pipes altogether. I’m happy using MLCP above ceiling where we can get at it if necessary but not sure about embedding it. I can’t...

I would appreciate some help in evaluating a pipework design for a CH system which needs to distribute a max load of 22kW (when the outside temp falls to -5). We plan to use Uponor MLCP and run the main distribution in a ceiling so there is a 1,5m rise at boiler and a 3m drop to each local...

Hi, we are about to install gas CH and would appreciate some help in estimating the running cost. We have a gas water heater at present and so are looking at changing to a condensing combi boiler and adding radiators (under floor heating is not possible in our case) I guess a typical...

Hi, we are about to install a new central heating system and have received a couple of proposals. I would really appreciate some input from forum experts as to the best design. We have a long narrow flat around 27m at its longest point. The pipes need to run above a false ceiling about 3m...
