I'll take it the pipe sizes are actually pretty standard for a combi setup, since there has been no criticism of the actual plan. I've ordered a Plasson 32mm mdpe to 28mm copper coupler and will install the new pipework after the bank holiday. I'll update this thread for the benefit of...

Hi Noozle, thanks for replying. This system uses a highflow combi for DHW Which can deliver 20 litres per minute. I've already fitted a thermostatic, deck mounted shower in the existing bathroom with 22mm hep2o from the boiler and it draws hot water in about 30 seconds from a cold system...

The main thing I want to achieve is stable flow to the boiler for DHW to the showers. The thought being that the 28mm copper in the basement will have enough capacity to feed the kitchen (dishwasher, washing machine etc.) without affecting flow to the DHW.

Sorry mate don't get it, the term '2 cents' doesn't really mean much to me, just an expression isn't it? Were was the advice?

Ten replies and nothing that addresses the initial post. Sorry fellas if I gave you the impression I think all plumber are like this. I'm sure there are some good guys out there taking pride in their work I just haven't found one in Bristol yet. As this is a DIY site I've had a stab at...

Because of the chip? (joke) But seriously, there are a lot of assumptions that I have been asking for free advice or bossing plumbers around when the reality is I openly state my requirements (mainly hot supply to two showers) and get advice back like running 15mm hep2o to supply both...

Ha, I've nothing against plumbers and would be please to find a decent one in Bristol. If you can recommend then post their details please. You'll notice my bad experiences come from paying thousands of pounds for work to be done to a poor standard with no consideration to the overall...

Have been getting work from plumbers and I can't seem to get any decent advise. All the plumbers I speak to have a 'that'll do' approach to pipe sizing so I am giving up and going to DIY, hopefully with some advise from here. Sorry for the long post. You can probably ignore the 'where i am'...

I am in the same position at the moment with an old Baxi Bermuda in the dining room of our new house. I think I'm with the majority that say they don't like the look of these things and the 'modern/contemporary' fire fronts that are available are horrible! I'd like to have the option of...
