Personally I wouldn't touch a magnaclean with a barge pole, they may catch the most dirt but I have twice had the plastic threads shear off in my hands while cleaning them (luckily both times iso valves were closed). Fernox Omegas are now nickel plated brass so a cross between a spiro &...

I'd be expecting an apprentice to be thinking diaphragm before even opening the thread. The op then goes on to describe the symptoms of a faulty diaphragm to a tee, yet to Tony this does not seem logical? Go figure

An icos that hasn't been serviced for 10 years!!!! Think you may be needing Ideals special service kit for that one

Sounds like poly-york. Why not use a parallel brass fitting and a washer or a 22mm kuterlite coupling with an imperial ring for the poly-york.

How deep is the insulation on the plasterboard? If the pipes are going on an external wall personally I would insulate the pipe and use a router to cut a channel in the insulation. They will be much easier to get to when they freeze & burst than if they are chased into the wall :D :D :D

Two pals? No ****ing way!!!! Nah they just don't have to put up with the **** up here like they do in Weegie land. They just **** off offshore and make double the money :wink: Yer mate at the Hydro should know that given that eight of us left within a week due to their new T&Cs. All you weegie...

This ^ (apart from the Vokera) sorry Vulcan :lol There was a vid posted on here a while back a customer had taken of heat team engineers. Customer had a hot water issue & they kept telling her it was water quality issues. Turned out it was a faulty HW NTC and after the engineer had...

Have you tried a can of spinach?

Wait till yeh start with the Hydro :wink: Then you'll see what focused on sales really is :D :D :D :D :D

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I've work for both and can tell you they're like chalk & cheese. SSE is easily the worst place I have ever worked by a country mile. :wink: Good luck if you end up there :mrgreen:

If you're getting 240 from a permanent live to white (sometimes white&brown) on your mid position valve then you have no power on the white wire. The reason you get 0 between permanent live and grey is you have 240V on both wires hence no potential difference. Check white wire to neutral...

You may have a distrust of plumbers but you also have no idea of the function of lock shield valves or an automatic by-pass. Thera are plastic cisterns that conform to the BS for solid fuel but most MI's ask for metal ones and they take presedence . As a general rule 10% of the heating...

Yes spot on I did start with the cable but to get to 20A would mean 6mm I would rather exclude those two sockets than run 6mm and just extended the ring for the other two sockets in the room.

Thanks for the info guys. My main concern is that the cables are behind 110mm of kingspan. They are inside 20mm conduit in a 20mm gap between the kingspan and OSB of the timber frame. Looking at the tables they should be at the plasterboard side to allow me to downrate to 20A So I have...
