    Gas installer not gas safe

    Sadly I am not aware of any laws that make dubious morals an offence. the persons committing the offence are the contractor and the person undertaking the work in an unregistered capacity, as they would in such an example at the very least commit an offence under the gas installation and use...

    Gas installer not gas safe

    Then Tony you need to talk to Gas Safe. A recent example 8 weeks ago [ish] I was asked to certify a boiler by a domestic customer so that they could get BG to register an install that was about a year old. For the record I neither know or care why the BG would do such a thing but the customer...

    Gas installer not gas safe

    I think some of you need to talk to gas safe regarding post commissioning a boiler install. The only persons who have committed an offence under the installation and use regulations are the building company who have knowingly engaged an unregistered person [allegedly] to preform work as defined...

    Installing a NEST to a Vaillant Turbomax

    The lack of any measurable voltage at the original stat is probably because there is no Neutral on 2 to measure the voltage via lives on the red and black. which also probably is why your original stat was not working as expected.... perhaps! if you are unsure of the connections probably...

    Radiator bleed valve sheared off

    Try Myson? "Can I drill out & re-tap bleed valves on old radiators? If your radiator is a Myson Premier two tapping radiator, manufactured before June 2003, the air vent is in line with the rounded top of the radiator. This vent may be re-tapped with a No.10 32UNF tap (4.1mm drill size)...

    Is my tank big enough to get a bath full of water out of?

    Bit harsh I feel, being a short fat bloke who happens to be a plumber. who fits one of your stereo-typical types :cry: Perhaps we could blame the manufacturers for only providing a top entry immersion port std fare in most merchants would be 11 - 27 - 36 heaters. check the length of the...

    Expensive upgrade of incoming mains-worth it?

    Hi here is a link to your valve type. its not 22mm connections but 3/4" unions, however the internals are probably not dissimilar judging from your pic. http://www.caleffi.com/en_IT/Technical_brochures/01085/01085.pdf do you know or can you judge the distance from the main boundary...

    Expensive upgrade of incoming mains-worth it?

    First off I don't really understand what Agile is on... Put simply flow through a pipe is based on velocity x bore, [for the pedants yes I know there's more to it but lets accept the premise for the sake of simple explanation.] The deciding factor in your case is the bore of the PRV, its...
