Diverter valve operating head makes a vibrating noise when on CH mode. Is ok from cold, but noise appears after a few minutes of system warming up. If you press lightly on the top of the diverter head the noise quietens down. Anyone know of a cure other than replacing the operating head. Also...

Hi Bahco, Conversion only just started anyway. If I can "T" into the 22mm flow and returns coming out of the boiler or under the floor do you think this will be ok. Do I put in 22/22/15 Tees at the boiler or run new 22mm from boiler up to the loft space then reduce to 15 to supply the rads...

Hi, My bedroom rad made the same clicking noise, when warming up and cooling down. Changed it in the end, plumber said that they have spot welds when they are made. if one of these welds cracks then that can make the clicking noises you mentioned due to expansion and contraction of the steel...

:roll: I am in the process of converting my loft. I had plans passed a few months ago, Builder just started. I want to work around him to install a 5 double socket ring main and 2 sets of low voltage light circuits. Both these supplied from consumer unit. Will 1.0mm T&E be ok for the lights...

No - the system wasn't flushed at all, just an inhibitor added on fitting new boiler, installer drained when removing old boiler and no dirt was evident in water. The original noise was from the heat exchanger, now its more a constant humming/droning noise also theres a faint rattling noise from...

:cry: Have recently had a new Baxi 105 instant fitted in my Kitchen. After about a week it started to make a howling noise while the CH was on. Got the heat team engineer out and he replaced the heat exchanger. All seemed well then a few days later it started again. Out he came again...
