In so far as simplifying the system to use just one source? Maybe I'm just lacking imagination but given the astronomical costs of fuel right now, I can't see how giving up alternative solutions or having them re-installed will work out cheaper than just installing an appropriate...
I've recently moved into a old property that has two sources for heating and three for hot water. The previous owner had a terrible system set up with two separate honeywell controls (timers) - one just to switch the oil fired boiler on and off, the other seemingly just operating the valves and...

With apologies for answering my own question, I tried out the Loctite sealing cord that seems to be very popular with a lot of people here. I really didn't expect it to work given my earlier attempts with PTFE and the big difference in thread length between the nylon? elbow and the brass bush...
I hadn't considered that option. If I can find a cheap 25mm to 15mm copper reducer (Screwfix only do 20mm to 15mm) then it's a definitely one way to go, I have a length of 15mm copper going spare and 15mm wall plate elbows are only a couple of quid.
I recently installed some MDPE piping to create a stand pipe at the bottom of the garden. It terminates with a wall plate elbow (plastic), a 3/4" to 1/2" bush and outdoor tap. The problem is that the thread is too long on the wall plate...
