Your not my wife are you?? :?

Following on from my earlier post I spent a few mins thinking about the problem, and I guessed that inside the T Piece, which as you stated is an Anti Syphon Device, there would be a valve that would block off the exit through the square holes and direct the water down the filler tube. Anyway...

Shame you did not get a proper reply to your problem, the result of people not realiseing what the problem was I think? The water is as you describe, flowing at some force from the clipped in T Piece that the Plastic Fill Pipe is attached too, but instead of flowing down the pipe its also...

Well done Eddie, Im sure its possible to do most of these things yourself with a little thought and cunning. As a follow on from my post above, I removed my domestic heat exchanger and and found it was copper, I then popped along to my local Industrial Chemicals supplier, there are plenty about...

Many thanks to you both for your replies, as I said the boiler is running just fine and given this I don't feel we ought to change it just because it has a small fault, the pressure drops away over a period of about a month and I suspect that as I cannot see a valve its never been checked or...

Hello everyone, my Son has an eldrly Barlo Duo Combi Boiler which is running just fine, however the presure drops away and I want to check the Air pressure in the Expansion Vessel, the problem is that I cannot see (or feel) any Valve, the boiler has been fitted tight into an alcove and whilst...

Well I have to say that this seems to me to be an excellent way of descaleing the heat exchanger, my son has an older combi boiler that works just fine but the flow of hot water is woefully slow, I guess its all scaled up, so Im going to try a DIY descale along the same lines as yourself, Can...

Oh well, many thanks to you both, you have confirmed what I was thinking, Steve.

Hello everyone, can anyone tell me if the older style Rads where the tapping for the valves is direct into the end of the Rad, are still available? all the ones I have seen have the valves fitted to elbows exiting the back of the rad, and I want to continue to use my existing Twin Pipe Valve...

Many thanks for your advice Softus, however I can confirm that the "valence" does indeed touch the floor and is a structural part of the tray, the domed feet are I think supposed to sink through the mortar and are there to not only provide a simple method of leveling up the tray but would also...

Softus, its really nice of you to go to all this trouble and I appreciate it, first I should say that I really did not think you were casting aspersions on my Shower, I know that compared to a good quality product, preferably British made, it would come a poor second, but I was never the less...

Hello Softus and thanks for your reply, when you say "On the one hand you talk about placing mortar under a leg, and on the other you talk about providing support to supplement the legs" well I don't really know what I can add to this, the instructions say this is the way to go and all I'm doing...

Goodness your all being very helpful, many thanks, yes I understand that fixing trays with legs useing a mortar mix is unusual, but that having a Resin cast tray with legs is also unusual, in addition there are no locking nuts, the tray has 5 substansial bosses cast into the underside into which...

Hello and thanks for your replies, the first problem is that its a cheap Shower Tray and enclosure from Ebay, however whilst the quality looks to be at least as good if not better than the offerings at our local discount bathroom shops the instructions are clearly translated from Chinese via...

Hello, what about useing Expanding Foam to bed the Shower Tray on instead of Mortar? Im sure I have read this somewhere, has anyone tried it? Im just about to fit a tray myself and would be intrested in useing the Foam if I could be sure its now an accepted method of going about the job, any...
