I take it its one of these cylinders http://www.plumbingpages.com/featurepages/HWcombination.cfm if I have read your description correctly?

I am in the same boat as you, I am 30 and I completed my C&G Tech Cert in June. I was told by my tutor that in order for me to carry on with my training, I had to get my NVQ 2 which he said could be done within 3 months seeing as we had more of less covered everything in the Tech Cert. C&G would...

If by saying that, you mean that there wont be adequate heat in the rads then that is rubbish. I have a microbore system in my house and the two big double rads in the living room and kitchen are piping hot. They also heat up very quickly.

Thats what I thought, I will just leave it until tomorrow...cheers

I went round to my friends house because he was doing a bit of tiling and he needed assistance taking a rad off. We got the rad off OK but he wants to keep it off over night. The flow side has a Myson TRV on and it is closed as far as it can go. In a central heating book I have it says that in...

I know you can only notch an 1/8 of the depth of the joist. The min distance from wall is 7x span (of joist) then divide by 100 (if that makes sence) Max distance from wall is span divided by 4. If you are drilling through the joist it must be no more that 1/4 the depth and should be around...

Such is life, what happened in your case then? I assume you were an apprentice once too and then started out on your own. If all plumbers had your attitude then plumbing would die out.

What would happen if an overheat stat was not fitted? I take it the boiler would fry? I still dont know exactly what I done that could have caused there to be so much air in the system? Like I said the heating was only on a couple of times previous to me fixing the rad and my brother in law...

forgot to add, the pump is fitted to the return, and on the sucking side of the pump there was a very slight leak at the nut. Could this be sucking air in when the heating was on?

How do you check if there is power to the boiler? (I hope this isnt a stupid question). When the timer is switched to all day absolutely nothing happens. Its not like it goes to fire up and then switches off a few seconds later, its just dead full stop. I was told once that the way to check...

Hi, I went round to my brother in laws house because he had a very slight leak from one of his living room rad valves. The plumbing has recently been converted to a sealed system with the F&E tank taken away and replaced with an expansion vessel. Back to the rad, I closed the valves either...

Its pretty hard to be honest but if you take time to revise EVERYTHING you should be ok. We all bought revision software from here http://www.learnatrade.co.uk/ which was actually a bit of a life saver plumbing level 2 revision is the best one to get. It gives you a wide selection of questions...

I am a 29yo trainee plumber. Just finnished my gola test a couple of weeks ago which finnishes off my Tech Cert (night classes). I absolutely love it and I have been going out whenever I can with my brother in law (who is a plumber) to gain as much on site experience as possible, unpaid too. I...
