    Downpipe discharge onto lower pitched roof

    If I go down the tiles the pipe will be a single piece of downpipe so won't need to secure multiple sections. My worry is that if it is not secured to the tiles it will blow around in the wind. Interesting thanks. Is it attached to the tiles?

    Downpipe discharge onto lower pitched roof

    Thanks. When you say the gutter side of the extension do you mean onto the fascia just before where it will be going into a new hopper? Would you pipe it straight on to the flat roof or run a pipe across the flat roof so it comes out where it drains off into the white downpipe?

    Downpipe discharge onto lower pitched roof

    Hi, The downpipe from our main roof discharges onto a lower pitched roof and when the rain is heavy it overshoots the lower gutter. It is also by the edge of the lower roof and so leaks off the side causing moss build up and rotting of the lower fascia. Have thought of 2 options to fix this so...

    Clark drain cover stuck

    Thanks all. Managed to get the screws undone with WD40 and a new 12mm flat head screwdriver from B&Q.

    Clark drain cover stuck

    I have tried with a standard slotted screwdriver but they just won't budge. Do I need a much bigger screwdriver for these? Do they definitely turn?

    Clark drain cover stuck

    I've got two of these Clark drain covers on my property and cannot for the life me get either of them open. I've pulled the handles out but now wondering if the screw heads are meant to be turned, have tried turning them but they don't seem to move but wanted to check just in case? Any other...

    Bath fluctuating hot water

    Reporting back as we have now had the plate heat exchanger replaced and boiler is working great and bath hot water stays consistently hot now! Hurray! With the DHW setpoint at 55C I am getting the following readings: i6 9.6LPM-10.2LPM i9 64C-65C i11 54C-55CC i14 49C-50C Previously i9 which is...

    Benjamin Moore which white?

    I don't have Super White to compare to but for what its worth I would agree that the coverage didn't seem great compared to other paints I have used in my limited experience being a DIYer. I did 1 coat of Zinsser Bullseye 123 and 2 coats of Chantilly Lace in the end. I have read some people...

    Bath fluctuating hot water

    I did a test at with DHW setpoint at 45C and get the following readings: i6 9.2LPM i9 71C-72C i11 44C-45C i14 42-43.5C It doesn't reach the point where it cycles off with the setpoint at 45C.

    Bath fluctuating hot water

    Thanks for that I follow now. This boiler doesn't have a canoe filter. With the basin on hot the i16 reading for pump modulation was 100%. I also noticed on i2 which shows the last error it reports 277 E9 which is 'Safety sensor temperature exceeded 95°', so another data point that it is...

    Bath fluctuating hot water

    When running the basin hot tap with DHW setpoint @ 55C I get the following: i9 (HEX flow temp) 68C i11 (DHW flow temp) 55C i14 (return temp to main HEX) 50C Should i14 not be lower than that as the difference between i9 and i14 is only 18C but the temp rise on the DHW is 36C (my mains cold is...

    Bath fluctuating hot water

    Thank you both for the replies, appreciate it, this has certainly been a learning experience :LOL: ! Thermometer arrived and I have just done the temperature readings: DHW setpoint @55C the DHW actual was 55C and temp measured at basin as 53C DHW setpoint @45C the DHW actual reading at boiler...

    Bath fluctuating hot water

    Yes it does seem that it is the plate HEX, my only doubt was the CH flow pipe getting hot. Yes we live in a hard water area. The system water is actually pretty clean now but it has been drained a few times since we moved in 2 years ago. The first time I drained it down it was pretty dirty...

    Bath fluctuating hot water

    Also I wanted to ask how you calculated the dT for primary/DHW? I am interested to know what the HEX temp should when the bath mixer is on. At the moment it is going up to 88C to heat DHW of 9.6LPM @ 55C which seems too high as the manual says 86C is the max possible temp and for DHW it should...

    Bath fluctuating hot water

    Morning! No we don't have anything like that in the house, just a single thermostat in the hallway and all rads come on when it comes on. So I ran the DHW on the basin and the CH flow pipe was warm but it was only on the first 3-4 inches are pipe, after that it wasn't warm. So obviously none of...
