Thanks all round for the kind help guys. Once I got the flow valve dismantled it gave me a bit more room and with some fiddling I managed to get the elbow joints out, and the new shower is now up and running. Thanks again, it really is much appreciated!

Even if I hacksaw through the elbow joints I still can't get the shower off the wall. The holes in the back of the case are about 5mm smaller than the plastic connector that joins the copper pipe. I think the only way I'm gonna get the thing off the wall is to hacksaw the joints as you suggested...

Yes, that's what I meant. As stardanny pointed out the collets on the elbow joints shown below are the ones that I need to remove. The rear casing of the shower unit only has two holes in the back where the copper pipes connect to the elbow joints and there's only about a 5mm gap between the...

Hi everyone, hope you can help. My Newteam NT1500XT power shower died last week, so I've bought a like for like version which is a Bristan branded 1500XT. It looks simple enough to fit though I cannot get the old inlet elbow self seal push fittings apart, and I can't get the old unit off the...

Ok, so just to confirm. Brown (red tape) is live Blue (yellow tape) is switched live Yellow/Green is neutral. I've got some coloured heat-shrink tubing which I'll put on the incorrect/unmarked wires on the thermostat end for future reference. Thanks a lot for your help, and everyone...

Yes... It looks like from this end the electrician colour coded the wires with electrical tape, I don't know if that helps...

Here some photo's of the boiler timer wiring... This is how its been wired. N: Mains - Boiler - Thermostat L: Mains 1: UNUSED 2: UNUSED 3: Boiler 4: Thermostat Earth: Mains - Boiler - Thermostat So can someone confirm how the wiring on the thermostat should be? Thanks. Old...

Thanks for the replies... There's no realistic way I can replace that wire back to the boiler timer as it looks like runs from the dining room, up inside the wall to the ceiling and then through a boxed in 12ft steel roof/wall support, through the kitchen and then into the laundry. I did have...

Here are some photo's... Old thermostat New thermostat The boiler is a Potterton Kingfisher MF gas boiler, which is controlled by a Danfoss PF715 digital timer and the room thermostat is located in the middle of the house. Hope this helps?

thanks!

I'm pretty sure it is earth, it's a yellow and green stripe and it isn't used on either thermostat. On the old thermostat it's just connected to an unused terminal on the backplate. The wiring I have coming out the wall is Blue (neutral), Brown (live) and Yellow/Green stripe (earth). In the...

Hi guys, I hope someone can help me out. I'm replacing an old analogue room thermostat with a new one. The current thermostat is wired with an live, neutral and earth (which is connected to a blank/unused terminal) all the terminals are unmarked or are so old the markings have disappeared...
