Hi all, I am currently planning for a DIY bathroom refurbishment and am starting to look around for products and supplies. I am aiming to find something similar to the sink/toilet/storage unit you see in this image: I have around 1350mm to play with. In the past on my other bathroom...

In case this helps anyone in the future, I emailed Durgo tech support and had a very helpful reply from their Technical Manager..... " Hi, Based on the pictures it looks like a DN110 valve. You can find the dimension and year of manufacture on the top of the valve, engraved on the upper part...

And sorry...I missed the fact you already said I could swap it for A1 in your original post.

Thank you for your help

Thank you, I was struggling to find any useful info on the Durgo website. I presume that there is no reason I couldn't remove and replace this with a new A1 rated one

I have cleaned the top and managed to get a photo. I can't see a specific model number, but it does have a load of building specs/codes.

Thank you. Although that diagram is obviously not to scale, it doesn't help that the 200mm looks like it is above the waste on the basin for some extra confusion :). I will have to try and find the Durgo specific instructions. However, in your opinion @denso13 , if the basin waste is the...

Thank you both for your replies. You can see my issue as you have both replied with the conflicting opinions I keep reading and hearing everywhere :) I don't have the original manufacturers instructions, but I can see on top of the valve that it is Durgo branded.

Hi all, I'm in the early stages of planning a bathroom refurb where I hope to do as much as possible myself. However , I have some confusion about the existing Durgo / AAV that is installed in the cupboard under the basin. First, let me say that my current configuration has not caused any...

Yes that's right

Hi all, I would like to update my gas fireplace surround and hearth by painting it (I'm not sure what colour etc yet). I am not sure exactly what it is made of, but it's a stone similar to what you find on a kitchen worktop. What would be the best way to prepare and paint this? Any...

Can I ask a possibly stupid question then. Having never done it myself, how do you drain the system? Do you have to open up some bleed valves or other vents to allow air into the system?

Thank you. I've watched a couple on videos now following your advice and it's giving me a bit more confidence to try this. It's just scary opening up a 'live' system, but I guess that it's essentially basic physics and as long as air doesn't enter the system anywhere, it creates a vacuum and...

Yes it is unvented
