Thanks 45 but I only want to change the head, all the valves operate correctly and with so many to change I want to keep the costs down.

We have Pegler Terrier ll TRVs on all rads except one, which is a Terrier (but not a ll). All the ll's don't work correctly as plastic pin is too short for the valve - off is 0 and full heat is the only as far round as the * , 1-5 are useless as the plastic pin in the head is to short to reach...

I've just bought a house which has a Baxi 80 HE in the loft and, as unseen at viewing, we requested a Gas Safe Cert as part of our purchase which was provided. Having been in the house of 2 weeks its never had hot water but as it has a surprisingly good electric shower downstairs this hasn't...

Well I rubbed it all down Saturday - thats a day of my life I will never get back!

Caulk will fill most gaps but more than say 3mm you should really use some filler as it does shrink a little. Almost all brands can be over painted but don't sand very well. Squeeze in just enough and smooth with your finger. Viola! Fill the crack first, paint later. Although if you're...

I have a vented hot water system from a cylinder in the cupboard heated by either the back boiler or immersion. It has 22mm pipe running round the maisonette. 2 years ago I fitted a new bathroom and ensured I fitted low pressure everything (shower head, shower pipe, taps, full bore isolating...

I wouldnt say its a nice flow but its constant! The other taps are pretty full flowing. I have no idea if it has an air release point, ill have a look today, thanks

TBH I havnt. How could I check?

Relevant :?: :evil:

Excuse my ignorance but surely this is relevant to my system? It pretty much is my system isnt it? The cold is mains throughout the house, the hot is from the cold water storage tank, via cylinder to the taps so not mains.

Hi Been having a read around on the grundfos pump and noticed this post... //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=203250 Should I check to see if I have this overflow to worry about or is it a given that I would have it? If so will I need to fit a slurry valve or would a non...
