gracefully accepted hahahah thank you

You know what… at no point did I think about just removing it and fitting a 3/4 to 15mm…. That’s how deep in the rabbit hole I was! I have a few of them fittings kicking around so I will do that! Thank you! Feel free to call me an idiot as promised!!

I know the answer is going to be really simple, but I’ve gone down a rabbit hole of fittings and threads and massively confused myself, so need someone to call me an idiot and tell me the answer! There is no shut of valve to my washing machine, it has a copper pipe with a thread on the end that...

Yeah total over sight the red going to com ‍♂️ so all sorted now! Thank you tho!

So in my front room I have a bunch of spot lights, and a 2 gang switch. 1/4 of them are controlled by one switch the rest by the other. the old owners had a dimmer switch installed but not the correct size box, so it hung off the wall, I don’t like dimmers anyway. So I got a new switch. Below...

Yeah that is the case, and yes some questionable pipework, it took me ages to get my head around it, thinking there must be a reason they’ve done this because it is more effort to do it this way! But there was no reason, must of had some spare Pipe so made a few extra loops hahah

It definitely wasn’t original piping, there was a disgusting mix of pipe work, couplings, elbows under the floor, and lots of plastic and copper off cuts, so no idea what has happened under there, but at least it’s now resolved, and I got to crawl under my house which was kinda cool hahah

So that issues was on another rad downstairs! Not the problem rad!!

Update!! So it’s fixed! After speaking to a mate he suggested checking under the floor so I cut a hole in the floorboard and got under neath, there was a return and inlet T’d into the same pipe. Causing a constant loop Essentially, so I capped off the return as it’s was basically stealing the...

Thank you! I’ll give this a go! And you’re right I am in longshot territory! There was me hoping it was a stuck pin hahaha

I’m starting to think it’s pipe to the rad, but when I drained direct from the TRV it was a powerful flush coming out

Thanks for the info, I’ll be honest you have said a few things there that mean nothing to me, I can only assume it’s laid out correctly, but having only been here a few months I couldn’t be sure, it’s a early 80s build.

So I closed all other LS and let the bad rad warm up, turned another downstairs rad 1/4, wasn’t hot after 5 mins, turned another 1/4, the rad got hot, checked the front room rad, and it’s gone cold. Maybe a blockage in the pipe leading to the bad rad, so when it’s only that being powered it’s...

No I have definitely balanced them, I turned them all Fully open, checked the order that heats up first, turned all Lock shields closed, then started with the rad that heated up first. My first rad is open about 1/4 turn on the LS, then moved onto the next, and opened just enough until it got...

Range range rated I have no idea, it’s 15mm pipe to the rad, and it’s a logic combi2
