Hi, I have a mystery with my lawnmower Battery which I am hoping someone can clarify for me please. I have had a Hyundai Petrol mower for a few years with an electric start from a 12 volt 5Ah sealed lead acid battery. It has worked perfectly and I have always put the battery on charge using...

Hi Madrab I calculated the BTUs required for the size of kitchen and added some margin for this. I've got a vertical double panel rad (1800 x 472mm) at one end and a Horizontal double panel rad (1600 x 295mm) at the other.

Hi Madrab The brackets supplied are the ones on the right ie NOT the curved ones !! So for the Horizontal mounting.

Thanks Opps. I have sent a Support email to VP but it will take forever !! They are stating at least 72 hours for a reply !!

Hi Bought a Radiator from Victorian Plumbing as a Horizontal Radiator. (I believe the radiator can used in either Horizontal or Vertical orientation) The drawing that came with the Rad shows the rad in Horizontal mode, and has a Note next to the end of the rad that a says 'Blocker - knock it...

Thanks Madrab.

The actual mixer valve is a concealed thermostatic type as here: https://www.bathroommountain.co.uk/galway-premium-matt-black-square-thermostatic-shower-valve-2-outlets-21053

Attached is a rough sketch of what I want to do, showing the mixer valve mounted flat on the boxed-in area at the opposite end of the bath to where the drench shower head is. With the valve mounted in this location it will not be directly under any shower water and it allows you to turn on the...

By the way, just to be clear, when I say I want to mount the valve horizontally, I mean with the backplate horizontal and the knobs facing upwards

All the valves I've looked at just seem to assume you are going to mount it vertically. Their instructions don't even mention whether the valve can be mounted horizontally. I've looked at loads and haven't found one that says the valve is suitable for horizontal mounting. I have actually done...

Hi I am planning a refurb of my son's bathroom and want to fit a concealed shower thermostatic mixer valve but rather than fit vertically on the wall I would like to fit horizontally on a boxed in area at the end of the bath. Is there any reason that these types of valves cannot be mounted...

Thanks Buoy. I will get her to give that a try.

Hi, My sister has had an extension to her bungalow and two additional rads were installed. Since the extension was completed the two new rads have never got hot, only luke warm. All existing radiators get hot. The new rads have been bled and the whole system has apparently been balanced...

One reason I'm favouring fitting in the Hall is because all the wiring in the airing cupboard is in a plastic junction box and it's like a bird's nest in there with 'chocolate block' connectors galore !! I'll probably find it much easier to identify the wires that connect into the old Heatmiser...

Thanks for your quick response CBW. The Heatmiser thermostat has a permanent Neutral and permanent Live connection and a Switched Live wire running back to the airing cupboard so I was thinking I could just remove the Heatmiser and connect the above wires to the T4R Receiver which requires the...
