    Oil Tank Regulations

    They are regulations, not the law...... you could spend money on a fire rated oil tank which would satisfy the regs, but they are expensive...... other than that, you would have to fire rate the surrounding wooden fencing, etc. to regs.

    Urinals

    Standard is 4 flushes an hour if used regularly. If not, a cistermiser is normally used. I'm not keen on them myself, they don't like hard water.

    New house, what is this switch.

    Yes, it's the immersion heater switch. Your gas bill may be high but it's got nothing to do with the immersion.

    Leaking solder fitting problem

    It will help, but it's more about technique / skill / experience :wink: And yes, maybe not hot enough, but if you have any water in the pipe you'll never demount it......... never. :(

    Leaking solder fitting problem

    Hi steve you can be lucky, with enough flux and careful heating, to resolder the joint. But I fear your only option may be to demount, re-clean and try again. There may not have been a good coverage of flux in the first place, or the pipe or flux may have had some crap on it. Or you may have...

    Whats the problem with Daily Mail

    All papers report basically the same drivel, the Mail included. I'm a DM reader, used to be a Mirror and /or Sun reader, the main reason for reading the DM is the fact that the ink from the print in it doesn't transfer to your fingers as readily as the other two. But I do like the style of the...

    Phil Taylor

    Daley Thompson was a quality athlete, but Colin McCrae was a top rally driver, Carl Fogarty was quality in Superbikes.......you could mention many more. Being a fan of darts though, pub game or not, it will be a long time before anyone has as much success as The Power. Awesome player.

    programming honeywell cm921

    Yes. 1,3 and 5 are 'on' switches. 2,4 and 6 are 'off' switches. So you have three 'on-off' times 1-2, 3-4, 5-6. Setting the temperatures at the given times utilises what is called 'Optimum Start', a facility which makes sure the temperature reaches whatever you set it at, at the time you've...

    Ensuite Loft conversion: Megaflow/Lead pipe uograde

    Pressure isn't the only thing you need to consider, it's flow rate too. Check your flow rate complies with whichever unvented system you choose, alongside your pressure, and go from there. If the flow doesn't comply, then maybe the advice you've been given is correct, but don't take advice on a...

    MYP2P ?????????

    Been looking for it too, apparently been suspended for broadcasting live streams of UK sport onto UK URL's, which is questionably illegal now. I do believe something is working its way through the courts to that effect. :( Just read that it's to do with an 'unspecified domain problem', but...

    Aircraft on a conveyor

    And with all due respect to you, I was under the assumption that the majority of people on here, your good self included, could quite easily grasp this supposed 'concept'. I was obviously wrong on several counts. Hey ho !! Carry on running around in circles....... on your conveyor...

    Unvented hot water system

    Unvented supplies are fine, as the system fails 'open', not closed, so pressure won't build up. With regard to your 'waste' hot water issue, fit secondary pipework, with a pump on a timer, to alleviate this problem. The hot water supply will be nearly instantaneous, reducing waste water...

    Noisy plumbing

    Because your service pipework is linked in this way, the noise is travelling through them. If you had seperate supplies, this wouldn't happen. To correct this, you would need an independent supply.

    New Rayburn Problem

    See if this helps http://www.rayburn-web.co.uk/media/20922/rayburn_flueandchimneyguide.pdf At least it will either give you back up to speak to your neighbour, or stop you from making a fool of yourself !! :D

    Thermostatic valve position.

    Best practice is to put the TRV on the flow side (i.e. the radiator tail that warms up first) but you can purchase TRV's that can be fitted on either side, some that have an adjustable valve on the top, some are fit and forget, so to speak!!
