I'm considering chasing the floor and laying the pipes. But my concern is mainly around the type of connection to use as the joint will be buried either in the wall or the floor.

Hello all. I have a small WC room (950mm wide). Currently the radiator is hung on a solid brick wall, PEX pipe then chrome tails to the radiator. I would like to relocate the radiator to the opposite wall which is a stud wall. I would only need to extend both flow and return pipes by just over...

Hi All I need to draft proof my front door. I've been looking at the foam draft proofing strips (sold in rolls). There are quite a few different types, like 'p' style and 'E' style. Etc.. Is there anyone who can explain when the different style of strips should be used? Thanks Sups

Assuhors - checked the water, indeed it was cold. Replaced the heating element and now it's all working again.. thank you. The old element had blown, but interesting the element was covered in some sort or grey chalky compound it was literally caked on, it didn't look like limescale... I have a...

Thank you, yes I do have a multimeter and yes I can access the back. Can you tell me what I'm looking for, I'm guessing that I should be checking the resistance would you know what a good value range should be? Also.. just spoke to the missus, she said even on the other cycles, the clothes do...

Hi everyone. The Washing machine (WAQ28470GB) continues to wash with 1 Minute displaying 'forever'. It does this on the mixed load setting, when i change the dial to Drain/Gentle Spin/Super Quick the wash completes as expected. Has anyone come across this before, or can anyone suggest things...

@picasso you were on the money!..just after the cold water inlet tap there is another pressure reducing valve. The engineer came and replaced it All working fine now. Thanks

Thanks picasso. The tap handle does a solid quarter turn.. didn't feel it slipping off the teeth of the nut.. but a valid point.. I'll go home and check Your second suggestion is a bit more valid... I called up megaflo tech support (I didn't know they had tech support for us regular consumers)...

Hello, Yesaterday morning I noticed a condsiderable amount of hot water pressure drop from the taps. In the evening when I got home from work I tried to regenerate the air gap according to the instructions, but instead of the gurgling I had hot water flowing through the turndish, I didnt think...

Currently on 3.

Yes, the pump is the the right way.. Symptoms are the same with the new pump as with the old pump. Can't help feeling bad about folking out 90 quid for that pump..☹️

That's an easyish replacement.. but currently changing the knob between 60 degrees and 35 degrees, I can feel the difference in temperature on the flow port. Is that enough of a test to rule the valve out?

I get small areas of Luke warm floor.. but in this seceanario the boiler would go up to 75 degrees (way past the 65 that I have set) which then drops back to 40, then up to 75 to 40 and on and on.. Another thing I failed to mentioned is that the return from the UHF never really warms up.. its...

Yes I do.. it's currently set to 60 degrees.. it works and I can feel the change in temp on flow port of the valve.

Yea.. I do have a valve and it does work, 100% sure of that.
