Ah great thanks I was thinking of compression but of course... I am stupid... But a little less stupid now! Thanks again Dan

Hello you helpful lot. I'm racking my brains but I can't figure out how to connect this stopcock to 22mm copper pipe at either end. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ohjp4ul4c2t3dfr/AAB-_to__9PYEhS-Xj6wUCCya?dl=0 I'm trying to make a novel set of kitchen taps ( feel free to take the mick ) but...

should be there now

Sorry about that - well spotted!

So would it be acceptable to wire the Cooker Control Unit like this:

Hello THe hob is gas too. Just the grill is electric with the following information: Grill kW. 1,8 V-240Hz-50 Amp.Max. 7,5

Thanks for the reply ColJack. I was assuming it was a ring but it is probably, as you say, a radial - I'll investigate some more. It is 10mm though. The socket is definitely on the same line - the fuse for the oven cuts the socket too. It's not a wholly electric oven, a gas oven with...

Hi all I'm fiitting a new kitchen and thought I'd take the opportunity to move the cooker socket into a more practical position in the process. Currently the cooker is wired to a plug which is plugged into the socket of a Cooker Control Unit. I have read that ideally the cooker should be...

Hi.. just a simple question. Does the lockshield valve go on the flow or return end of a radiator or does it not matter? Thanks Dan

thanks for that softus...you're invaluable once again ;)

a 3d package...I'm an animator - not a plumber!

anyone got any ideas?

okay here are the pics...before and after (hopefully) The rads are 6 foot cast iron school radiators. Thanks again Dan

If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated! Thanks Dan

Hi all I would like to install a radiator andwould like to know if it is acceptable to have 2 radiators in parallel coming from the same 15mm pipe from the flow and return. To make it clearer. My current situation is as in Fig_1 below. The layout and size of radiators etc is roughly to...

Well how easy was that!!!!??? Thanks very much for your help Softus. All I did at this point was remove the pipework for the old radiat as I haven't the the new one to fit yet but now I feel confident draining the system and using compression joints so putting in the new radiator should be a...

got ya...thanks again I'll let you know how I got on after the weekend!!

okay there you've just proved that I have no grasp whatsoever of the principals involved!.... presumably if I am able to drain the system and work on it when I have turned the bolier off there is no water-flow. So how does the system fill again without the boiler being involved...

Thanks again for your advice softus...I've got a lot of time for people who are willing to give it out free. If ever you're in need of some computer animation info don't hesitate! One last question I (almost) promise. When I turn the boiler back on and refill the system, and have bled the...

oh and the loop has a valve at either end...I tried opening the one on the "Domestic Cold Water In" end, expecting to see the pressure rise but nothing happened. And the other end was a bit tricky to get to and the pipes were hot so I didn't persevere.
