No the builders didn't fit it, it was me. It was just by far the easiest way to do it. I'll maybe figure out a way to blank it off so it's not noticed. The house just originally had separate hot and cold water taps on the bath. I replaced it with a deck mounted thermostatic bar bath...

I've got a fairly new build house that has an in-line TMV valve connected to the hot water tap on the bath. I have a thermostatic bath filler/shower connected to the hot water supply coming from the in-line TMV. The hot water is supplied by a combi boiler. The shower is ok, but I'm wondering...

No I intend keeping the property the same as it is.

Thanks for all the replies, and I should be more specific. The house is fairly small 3 bedroom semi, with 8 radiators. I live alone most of the time, but my daughter stays on weekends. The back boiler is a similar system as in my previous house, as I'm moving to a house built by the same...

I just wondered peoples opinions that work on them. I'm buying a house that has a back boiler fitted, as far as I'm aware its fully functioning. In my last house I replaced the back boiler with a combi when it stopped working. I'm just tempted to replace this one, before that happens as I...

I have a Baxi duo tec 28 HE combi boiler, controlled by a wireless Siemens RDJ10RF, room stat and receiver. I've already replaced this once and it has just failed again, they appear to be utter pieces of crap. The thing I do like about it though, is that the 1 day, 2 on's programmer is a work...

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated. Assuming that I went with a 40mm T and then across to the condensate line then up under it using a 40mm elbow. Does the waste pipe need a reducer to put the condensate line in or is it ok just sitting inside the 40mm waste as I am guessing that...

Thanks for the speedy replies guys. I've got it figured now from both suggestions. Thanks :D

My combi boiler was installed last November but the condensate line goes outside into the drain pipe through the wall. It was mild last winter but I would rather have the condy line going into the washing machine waste somehow as there is a heater in the garage below the waste should it get...

I recently got a combi boiler fitted and the old back boiler removed. I am wanting to make a kind of feature in the alcove and put power in there. The house is a late 80's 2 bed semi. The chimney has a flexible metal liner installed that is surrounded by what looks like loft insulation...

I am going to get this boiler replaced very soon, and sod's law it has just started to play up. The boiler was wired up wrong, but in 2008 with excellent advice from D.Hailsham on this forum I wired it correctly. //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1031849#1031849 It has worked...

I have decided to put my television on the wall it is a new build that has dry lined walls. It is a fairly short run as I do not want it to high. I was just going to dig a channel out and hide the wires then fill it back in with filler. I might install a mains socket that is just ran from a...

Thanks for taking the time to reply Mike it is very much appreciated. Luckily my brother had a spare old fridge freezer that I could borrow. I have managed to get hold of a wiring diagram for this machine, it's a shame that I cannot attach it to the post. I am quite good at basic fault...
