Sorted - it turned out to be a collection of debris that had partly blocked the inlet port into the PRV held back by the mesh screen.

I fitted a new outside tap in my lads house today. The house is a new build (18 months old). I turned the under sink valve off, did the job and turned it back on again. Since then the water (hot and cold) runs but hardly any pressure. There is an in line PRV on the flow side of the stop tap and...

I have a 10mm copper heating pipe system. As posted elsewhere I’m looking at swapping a couple of thermo valves. I’m not sure whether in the past I’ve fitted them with the crush type 10/15mm brass reducers. Can these things be re used, also looking at new valves very few come as 10mm, most being...

It sounds like I might get away with it or maybe not. Is it more likely to be successful on upstairs than downstairs, I’m thinking gravity ?

I think you would have to use silicone to bond it up to the back edge of the bath lip

It’s a combi

I’ve got a couple of weeping thermostatic valves ( from the valve insert not the unions.) the wisdom of tik toc seems to suggest it can be done quickly by just putting a folding bucket under the valve and whipping it off and putting the replacement on, obviously using the existing unions and...

I’ve not tackled it yet but I will take your advice, thanks

Thanks very much

I’m wanting to get this pipe flatter to the back wall. The bottom part of the pipe is a bonded waste pipe going into the soil system I guess. If I want to turn it is the brown part just sealed into the large pipe with a flanged rubber thing similar to a toilet pan connector, ie can I pull it out...

Unfortunately all this has come about as we are swapping the switch style from white plastic to G&H antique brass, they don’t do an intermediate in the style we want. The lounge has 3 switches for the light, a 2 gang ( 2 way) at one entrance, a 2 gang (with intermediate) at the bottom of the...

Thanks fellas so if I want to abandon one of the 2 way switches and replace the intermediate with a 2 way all the wires will be there it’s just a matter of identifying the right switching wires coming from the other switch and finding the common going into the intermediate

I have this switch as part of a 3 switch system for a lounge light . I’m keen to understand which contacts are made/broken with the operation of the switch. I will use a tester if needs be but wondered if anyone knew from the photo. Also I’m thinking of changing the switches and doing away...

It’s looking like a partial blockage in the pipe from the pump to the filter.

I’ve got a Laguna pond pump, it’s about 18months old. The pump feeds a pressure barrel filter then a EA easy pod and back into the pond. This last week the flow has been reducing to a dribble. I found if I turned the pump off and back on again the flow is restored but after a couple of hours...
