If there are airlocks at the deadend of the horizontal bars. Do you think it's possible to get rid of it by connecting a drain hose to bleeding valve, let each of flow and return drain until radiator is hot?

I live in a building where central heating hot water is provided 24/7. So it's been switched on 24/7 for about a month. I will try to borrow a spirit level, but it looks pretty levelled so far. I called the manufacturer and they say to close the lockshield valve a bit more, does it sound...

I had two towel rails fitted about a month ago. Both were working well but recently I noticed a bit of cold spots towards the ends of the bars. I tried adjusting the valves by turning them several times in each direction, but the cold spots have now spread even further. Could someone please...

BG's technical department was useless. They don't even know about how their product works, just kept repeating the instruction wiring is the only way. In the end I made a little test circuit and can confirm this wiring digram works!!! The switched works without a live between mater and slave...

Hi, I bought some BG touch dimmers to replace my existing 2-way switches, but the terminals on the dimmers are labeled L, S-Link, and Load, instead of the usual Com, L1, and L2. I have a 3-core cable running between the two switch locations, with the neutral wires connected via WAGO connectors...

It looks like artex and may or may not contains asbestos, the only way to know is to have it tested. I used this company and test came back in about a week or so. Just don't disturb it anymore until test came back if you are that worried.

Hi Thanks for the reply, moving switch is certainly an option but I wonder if a push to break light switch like this one can be fitted inside a architrave back box? The space is a 1.3 x 2.2m storage room and although the light switch is only 2amp, there should be more than enough wattage (240v...

Does anyone know any door activated light switch that can used in my situation? Originally, the back box was planned to be next to the door frame, but due to a change of plans, we are now using a sliding door and the door will hit part of the light switch when closed. Is there a solution without...

I need help on cable choice please. I want to add another intercom handset in my parents' flat. I have Cat6a cable (stiff and not so easy to bend) and CW1308 telephone cable. Which one is suitable? Their intercom handset is Comelit Vox 2000 which uses a 5 wire connection, and the new cable will...

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like plastic is the way to go. Is it ok to bury part of the push fit elbow inside wall behind the radiator to have change over to copper? Should I be concerned of anything if I am to reduce pipes from 22mm to 10mm under floor?

Hi, need some help please. I now need to bring central pipes across to other side of wall via route like the photo shows (the route allows sliding door gear fixed onto floor). This is a flat and the concrete floor is approx 25cm thick stone mix, I plan to chase down around 40mm so its not too...

Ahh...I haven't even noticed the flow rate is only 8.5L/min for the bath filler, thank you so much for mentioning it. Do you think I will be able to ditch the bath filler and use the same diverter connecting to a wall mounted bath tap? If so, my next question would be...are all brushed...

Planning to buy this shower set but worry that the there would be problem accessing the overflow bath filler in my small bathroom where wall hung toilet is next to bath tub. Is there anyway to know that it will be fine before I order the stuff? My toilet and bath tub location will finish...

Thank you. I will try to lower the frame and rotate the pipe so reduce the hump. Is there any tip on getting the soil pipe or flexible connector sitting tightly on the frame now that I am unable to use Geberit fitting?

Hi I am trying to line up soil pipe for Vitra wall hung toilet using Geberit Duofix frame but the soil pipe branch is too high for Geberit 90 degree elbow connector that comes with the box. I am thinking to swivel the branch like the photo below and use a flexible pan connector to connect...
