Listening to the comments here I think what I might now do is see if I can T off before the PRV to the front tap and leave the rest well alone. It will be a squeeze to get it in but I think I can just about fit a 22 x 22 x 15mm compression. I think it's too risky not being a qualified heating...

Yes it is as it was always 15mm. I tried the upstairs tap when the extension was finished but as I am still working on it I have turned all water off for the time being but I know it is the same pressure as the front tap which as I say is poor. So the circuit is in two sections, the full...

Thanks DP I can't reply direct as there is no reply button showing but this is what I am thinking.

The first image should be vertical. The pipe above the stop cock goes under the floor and supplies to downstairs cold water system.

I don't where all the reply buttons have gone. But thanks for all your replies. The engineer did say at the time that the max for the Vaillant was 3 bars because I wrote it down at the time.

But he actually reduced the pressure when he fitted the boiler with the PRV. The downstairs remains as it was, so there is a disparity between the two floors. So what I thought was, I would try fitting a new PRV into the specific pipe going to the boiler so it won't interfere with anything...

The PRV was fitted BEFORE the pipe to the boiler and first floor but AFTER the down stairs plumbing. So the downstairs has good pressure only. 3 bars is what the engineer set the pressure to when he fitted it. Cold water to the downstairs is good and the back garden hose is good too. The...

Thanks for your response. As I said, the engineer said it was too high and that was why he fitted the PRV and turned it down to 3 bar which is less than the ground floor cold system. There is a long silver tube with 'centre' written on it so I suppose that's the expansion vessel you mean...

I have a Vallaint eco-Tec plus 832. When the boiler was fitted five years ago, the engineer put a pressure valve on the mains and set it to 3 bar. That would be OK but the pipe for the boiler is taken off from the pipe which goes upstairs and also to the front hose tap. So what I have is low...

Obviously my reply wasn't polite, but it was a RESPONSE to the impolite reply I received. I can think of better ways to point out something that than trying to ridicule the other person or take the p**s out of their question. I thanked him for his help and that was that as far as I was...

I never said they didn't and I thanked them for their help, so please don't twist things and try to make it look like it's me who is being unreasonable. Sarcasm is not polite and if you can't see the sarcasm (wich was very clear) then what can I say to you? Joke?

I don't think you read my comment properly. There is already light in the room so why would they turn a light on? If they stank the room out then they would look for a fan wouldn't they? I am beginning to wish I'd never asked.

I didn't say it was DESPERATE!!! I wanted some assistance with a problem. And yes it was sarcasm actually. I don't need anyone to advise me on how I should see things, and I really don't give two hoots what you 'care for'. I was very polite and agreeable and I can do withour sarcasm and that...

No I am not inventing a problem. I know through EXPERIENCE that the fan gets left on. I don't want it to left running and that is why I asked for help. Fans can be left on fior hours and I want mine to turn off - simples! I wasn't born yesterday pal. I think the question is quite...

Trouble is people wouldn't turn the light on if it's already light in there. Thank you all for all the advice on this. I'll try the momentary switch option.
