    Removing arrestor

    I believe that no. is a 15mm compression so this would be your man https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-compression-stop-ends-15mm-2-pack/65021 It could be that someone has removed the nut & olive & screwed the 1/2" thread directly into a female fitting in which case you can put ptfe around the...

    Removing arrestor

    Then plan A is certainly possible. If you have a combi boiler many manufacturers insist on a mini ev being fitted. It is often a failing ball valve that causes noise problems or a dripping 1/4 turn tap. You could try pump up ev to 1 bar then turn mains back on & see what pressure the ev is...

    Pumped hot water loop alternative

    The lower fascia panel will pull off. Usually pull upwards to detach it from the lift off clips. This will give you much better access. You may have room for a second ball valve in the cistern but I have no idea how you think that would help.

    Removing arrestor

    I would first of all Turn off water and open tap to release pressure. Attach compressor/foot pump/bike pump to shock arrestor and pump up to 3.5 bar. Turn water back on and see if problem has gone away. Check that your stop tap is open all the way and back 1/2 turn

    Bath tap cartridges

    Clean the seating before fitting the new ones and a smear of silicone grease never hurts. If they are not a common size, tapmagician has an 18 sheets of A4 list of dimensions to choose from.

    Pumped hot water loop alternative

    You could always fit one of these, blended supply to wc and set it to about 20 degrees. Would draw mostly from the hot pipe till temperature achieved and then continue to fill cistern with mostly cold. https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-thermostatic-mixing-valve-15mm/684fa This will be full of...

    Hot water not coming through all outlets as hot - ASHP issue?

    Start with the easy exposed one. Run shower till body is hot, usually on left hand side. Run a not so hot tap. Cold water flowing through the shower will rapidly cool the LHS of this shower. If it is not this one then you will have to repeat by pulling the faceplate forward on the concealed...

    Hot water not coming through all outlets as hot - ASHP issue?

    It will be a temperature controlled mixer so shower mixer not basin mixer. While running a not so hot tap you may hear something if you put your ear to temperature control knob. If they are exposed valves the temperature check by feel will be easy but if they are concealed and you can access the...

    Connecting up kitchen sink to 40mm solvent weld

    You can't glue polypropylene. Is that elbow glued on or just pushed on? Your sink bowl base looks quite close to that elbow. I would start by assembling the sink trap kit that you have shown and then seeing height difference from trap outlet to elbow. You look to have enough pipe behind the...

    New unvented cylinder - immersion possibly not working properly?

    If it is clicking at 40 C then it suggests that stat is OK so more likely the heater element breaking down when hot.

    40mm shower pipe fall

    I am confused. Your drawing shows trays in right hand corner of both rooms yet shower waste is in left hand corner? Your swept tees appear to be facing the wrong way

    Condensate pipe

    Put a branch on the rainwater and discharge the condense into it. This way if your rainwater blocks it will not back up and flood the boiler.
