Carrying out repairs to radiator valves in Elderly Persons Residence. Existing angled manual Valves cannot be identified. Handwheels on 17 of these valves are wrung due to wear and tear. A single Straight Myson Wheelhead has been installed in property. This Fullflow Handwheel fitted the other...

Gas fitter can't be certain if the fittings are suitable by photo alone. Approved compression fitting are acceptable as long as they are always accessible for maintenance. That is, the fittings you showed should never be buried or boxed in. Can't see the wife wanting those pipes hanging out...

Isolate Hot Supply. Remove tap head. Strip out body and check that Washer or Discs are in place and for blockage below the seat.

Having trouble finding a set of taps to suit a friend. They need a set of taps with a shower head attachment, but the existing taps have had the holes drilled at centres not standard to most sets. (145mm reqd) Can anyone suggest a solution other than fitting a mixing shower, while sticking...

Agree with all of that. Completed my CCN1 two weeks ago and wouldn't dream of opening a combustion chamber unless I became familiar with the appliance or was under supervision of someone who knew what they were doing. Not self-employed, so now I have back up for when I'm "requested" to...

Thanks Oilman' The Idiot's guide burner is almost identical in appearance to my own. Sorry to cause such heartache and soulwrenching to JPH/01. You seemed to calm down in the end. Understand your frustration at the system. Our particular training instructor was brilliant, but the...

Data Badge has two Stamped No.s 448161 & AR 198,4

Thanks WDIK. Googled Bentone and found no reference to the burner I have, but at least it tells me it has engineering similarities to Sterlings. Have 50/70 and 70/90 RDB units in working order. Would you advise a swap and if so, would the existing Nozzle size (trusting it was competantly...

Ancient hexagonal free standing boiler (possibly grant???). No data badge on the appliance to give me any info. All I can tell you is that it's 1200 high with a service door on the top in front of the flue & 3 flat baffle's in the top section, but that's all. Obviously the thing's drinking...

Just completed my OFTEC course today and thought where better to start my servicing than at home. Trawled Google etc. for MI to suit my ancient Electro-Oil International AB Pressure Jet Burner, but no joy. Would anyone have a clue where I would find them????

Last I heard, he was up for Tax Evasion. Smashing player all the same. No offers yet on my ?'s people?

Bought a house with basic oil-fired central heating system. Incorporates Pump, Wall mounted programmer and Boiler Stat. Want to separate my DHW from CH, but don't want to rip the house to shredds. Lot of money literally down the drain heating up the cylinder all the time. Q1. Does...

Cheers for the quotes folks. Problem sorted at the weekend. As suspected there was no vent because seal loss didn't occur at the bath alone. Thought it prudent to fix it right, so bit the bullet and fitted a vent via lead slate. Guess what??? After using the shower in the bathroom the...
