Brilliant advice thank you. It looks an old one and he has had it blasted and powder coated looks pretty nice actually. Point taken about the debris inside it though. Think he was worried that 15mm wouldn't give it sufficient flow being as it would have been connected previously to bigger...

Hi, I am asking on behalf of a friend who has a combi boiler system in a normal sized 3 bed semi. He intends to swap a normal radiator for an old cast iron one as this is the look he is after. The question is if he alters the pipework to suit the new cast rad will the pipework being in 15mm...

Thanks again for the replies.

Thanks for the replies. How important is it to get these temperatures right? What effect does it have on the system/boiler performance?

Morning, Quick question just because I like to know how things work. Am I right in thinking that the boiler thermostat controls the flow temperature? And in order to get the correct return temperature you have to have a correctly balanced system. Thanks in advance

Thanks, I think I've got you now, So the way the pressure effects the hot water is purely because if it drops below 0.4 bar the boiler basically just won't fire up to give you hot water when you open a tap?

Thank you, Yes I do mean the pressure on the gauge. So if I understand this correctly then if the pressure drops below a certain level you will/maynot get hot water or heating? I thought the pressure was just for the central heating side of things?

Quick question, Does the pressure on a combi boiler effect wether you get any hot water or not? Or does it just effect the heating side? This is not a problem I'm just curious as to how it works So, low pressure=no hot water? Is it the same on all combi's? Thanks as always.

Good morning, I would like to swap my old siemans RWB2E programmer with a digital one. My question is if I remove the siemans programmer revealing the back plate with all the wires going into it can i put a new programmer straight onto the old backplate? If I can is there any you would...

Thank you both very much.

Thanks for the reply, excellent video. Unfortunately due to the way one side has to match up to the existing wall It's not really an option to put the under side piece on that way the only way I could do it is to stick it on so is there any suitable adhesives I can use? And also is it ok to do...

Hello, I am about to plasterboard an rsj and was just wondering if I could stick the plasterboard to the underside of the rsj with some form of no nails or another suitable adhesive? Thank you.

Hello, As from my other post you will see that I am in the process of planning my new kitchen. The way that I have planned it would mean the radiator being hung on the wall separating my house and my neighbours. I live in a semi-detached property. Could this be a problem for heatloss...

Hello, I am in the process of planning my new kitchen and where I would like my washing machine means that the cold feed would have to be run behind the gas cooker. If this is ok are there any certain requirements that I should be sticking to? Thanks in advance.

Thank you, What I can't understand is from what I have read on here if the valve is stuck in say mid position I would expect my heating to come on even though I only want hot water and the heating is off but this isn't happening.
