Hi everyone. this post maybe should be in the CC section but as I'm no longer registered I can't get in there! If a moderator feels like moving it there I just hope I'll get to see any replies there might be. I'm not asking for tips as I won't be doing any gas work but want my facts correct...

The sink should have a 10mm lip so there's no problem with using a medium "upcutter" and sealing the cut-out. Downcutters are hard work with 40mm laminates and much more expensive than upcutters.

Only ever use Danish Oil :)

I'm usually working on "high end" semi bespoke kitchens and 99% of the time we screw from underneath. Countersink just enough for the screw head and it looks perfectly acceptable. The trick is to make it look intentional, so space the screws evenly widthwise & lengthwise. Mitre Bond will work...

:lol: :lol: And the next time I've got some cartoons I'll be in touch :wink: Of course the question needs to be asked....How come everyone thought about counter rotation? Could it be from personal experience? Perish the thought :wink:

Of course, with hindsight, I shouldn't trust Grundfos to assemble 2 identical pumps identically :roll: but maybe some instructions instead of childrens cartoons might have reminded me to check the orientation of the pump and not assumed that it would have been built the same way. As my...

As several of you said about the direction of the pump & against my better judgement :oops: as it was an identical replacement, I just checked and guess what? :oops: :oops: :oops: The direction arrows are the opposite way than the previous pump :!: :!: I guess I'll be getting the big...

Quite a bit to think about there Stan! Pump is fitted exactly as removed (I installed system 7 years ago) and yes there is overrun (Keston K170). Bypass fitted because 3 x 2 port valves could be closed at the same time so leaves a small loop for the boiler to keep circulating. When the...

There's a pressure relief bypass on the flow nearby the boiler, but this wasn't altered when pump was changed. This is normally set at 2.5bar. I tried turning it down to 1bar but it made no difference to the noise. It is a big unvented system in an old & cold house with 170,000 condenser &...

Hi, hoping someone can offer a solution! I recently had to replace my circulating pump when the last one got very noisy (bearing noises). Since then I have very loud banging noises ( really loud!) from the CH pipes when the 2 port valves close when room stats tell them to. I have turned...
