    Good point, well made. Great, thanks.

    Pipe centres < width of radiator

    Windowsill prevents that I'm afraid. A 400mm only just fits between the skirting and the sill. I'm considering that, but wondering if I'll go to all that effort and then find that it's still not good enough. I'm assuming two elbows and a short length of copper will normally get me sufficient...

    Pipe centres < width of radiator

    I checked the technical drawings yesterday and it seems it would be too deep/protrude into the room too far, so the bed wouldn't be able to fit into the gap any more.

    Pipe centres < width of radiator

    Sounds good, thanks. Because I can't go for a taller one and need to increase the heat output. I'm replacing a single/type 11 with a slightly larger P+/type 21 as the heat loss calculations suggest that's the only way I'll do it. It's a bedroom, but wasn't used as one until recently, so the...

    Pipe centres < width of radiator

    Thanks! It's the destructive part of lifting the carpet which I'm worried about. It seems to have been glued in places. But otherwise, yes, a good approach to live by.

    Pipe centres < width of radiator

    Evening, I'm after some pointers/opinions please? I'm looking to replace a 1000mm wide radiator with a 1200mm wide one. The pipes currently come up out of the floor in copper, straight up and into the valves. I don't want to lift the carpet and rearrange the pipework under the floor, which I...

    New olives too thin?

    Evening, I wonder if someone can help with this very basic problem I'm having please? I've just re-piped up to a PRV and I've gone to replace the section of pipe with the old olive on. The old one seems to be much thicker/taller than the any of the new ones I have, meaning that when I put a new...

    No gas work under scaffold?

    Afternoon all, I was due to have my external gas meter changed to a smart meter but have had scaffolding put up and the scaffolder tells me that no one will do any gas work under scaffolding. No issues with that as I can see that it's the rules, but I'm just wondering what the reason is for...

    English bond with 3/4 bats in stretcher course?

    Evening, Wonder if anyone can help please? I'm planning to build a 600mm high retaining wall in my garden and I've fallen at the first hurdle unfortunately - trying to work out the bond. I like the appearance and the strength of English bond so I'm going with that. The wall will be a 1-brick...

    Vaillant Unistor 310 —reduce capacity?

    The recovery time [to 70%] for a 310 is 30 minutes. If your boiler can't reheat the entire cylinder in an hour, something else is wrong.

    32mm OD waste pipe to 36mm OD solvent weld?

    Absolutely not. If the product cannot work it is the fault of the manufacturer and not the end user. In this case it can work, it just needs a UK to EU converter/adapter. Seemingly not that unusual as McAlpine manufacture such a bit of kit. The fault in this particular case is with my builders...
