    Vaillant Turbomax Plus 824E … can a thermostat be connected? (Ed.)

    Yes you are right 3 & 4 linked together - doesn’t seem to be a separate connection for L/N though?

    Vaillant Turbomax Plus 824E … can a thermostat be connected? (Ed.)

    Inherited an old boiler with apparently not any real controls (thermostat), it’s a Vallant Turbomax Plus 824E. I know this is old, but can a thermostat be connected to this? If so what model would work? I don’t need all singing, but I do need to have some controls rather than the cold-hot dial...

    Removing old pipe

    Thank you. I’ve just come back to this thread as I can’t get a local plumber for love nor money to sort this (at least not before the New Year) however, one helpful chap mentioned that if I thought I was able, then maybe cut the pipe and fit a Philmac fitting. So I came back here to ask about...

    Removing old pipe

    Thank you guys - I can go to that tee. I don’t need that “alkathene” pipe at all so that can go, and everything to the right, so I can either leave the tee in place or get rid of that too. Just don’t know how “tough” it will be to unscrew the thing.

    Removing old pipe

    So, ideally, I’d like to cut the pipe where the tape measure is and then go to 22 or 15 copper. But would you need to tape a thread or is there a push fit option? Or is there a compression option?

    Removing old pipe

    This pipe is leaking. I’d like to get the rusted and leaking part replaced. Can anyone tell me what this pipe is, and how I could feed into 22mm or 15mm copper pipe please? Thank you

    Plywood floor before laying stick down planks

    Ooh - ok. Is that because the 22mm ply isn’t flooring grade?

    Plywood floor before laying stick down planks

    Really sorry - loads of previous ply questions, but I can’t see an answer. I have joists 40cm apart, I want to lay ply, and am looking at 22-25mm ply, and then sealing and laying stick down planks, but: - softwood ply? - hardwood ply? - marine ply? - structural ply? Is any thick (22mm-25mm)...

    What’s this creature?

    Between 3mm-5mm long, shiny, silvery and wriggles pretty fast.

    Between ply and floor or boards.
