unless it's a commercial kitchen?

yeah it has but it's a silly little tube which blocks up sometimes and when the dhw has just run a bath, it's not enough to get rid of the heat on pump over-run. or so i have found at least... worth a try is all i mean.

hi, you should really consult your gas installer as it's he who will have to be happy with it to be there, but as far as i know, the fusebox just needs to be more than 150mm from the boiler; better if even further away of course. you could always put a non-flammable partition between boiler...

hi, with all the new regulations the trouble is you will need a plumber and an electrician together, probably why the quotes are crazy. you probably need a negative intelligent plumber; i'm sure i know a few... wouldnt expect the job to take more than a few hours to do though

hi, agree about tightness tests before and after... it also helps to do this cos you can pick up any problems with the governor or the ecv at the same time incedentally when i renewed my acs recently i was told solder cap ends no longer acceptable on any pipework for gas because they...

the best way i have found for this style of shower bar onto a solid wall (dunno the screwfix one admittedly) is that bristan or deva or someone like that do a mounting kit which is two chrome 3/4" pillars fixed to a metal backplate you can attach to the wall you have chased out to a depth...

maybe we should turn up on the doorstep in a cowboy outfit... seems to be the thing for john prescott. perhaps it'll catch on graham

hi, these 24i boilers need to dump excess heat after having provided hot water. they do this by running the pump for a few seconds to cool themselves down dumping the heat into the radiator circuit. if all the trvs on the rads are off/low/stuck, or there is no other bypass circuit in the...

hi, if you cant turn the mains off in the road you need a plumber with a decent pipe freezer kit (not just a spray can from b&q)

hi, a common cause for this is also the gas valve modulator min/max settings not being right; the answer is to get a local corgi engineer to set the gas valve up to the pressures in the handbook, both the maximum and the minimum settings will need adjusting

Hi, i think the platinum is similar to the he-plus range but better built so they can offer the 5 year thing without going bust. but as i say, i found even the old range to be reliable. the refernce to stainless/radial from Agile means that the heat exchanger is stainless rather than...

hi, have found baxi combis to be very good; they now do a 'platinum' combi with a five year manufacturers warranty which is worth the peace of mind...

I agree about past glowworm products, and would not have gone for one on those recent jobs except that they were the only ones with a rear exit flue within the casing where no other boilers would fit at all, normally i go for baxi or alpha since have never had a fault in warranty on any of over...

Hi, yes have fitted a couple of these; an open vent boiler to replace an old wall hung baxi wm into an existing space which no other boiler i could find on the market would fit, and a 30cx combi which was also very neat and compact, the only one to fit in the space under a worktop...
