Going back to when the supply was changed from medium to low pressure... I would have thought that all meters/governors would/should have been changed at the same time! Sounds like a lot of things got missed! And the owner should be seeking some form of compensation - from several parties!

Change the timer to heat the tank at a different hour(s) of the day. This is just a suggestion to rule out potential supply spikes or slumps. You have to stop repeating the same experiment.

What is the actual temperature at a tap? What is the cylinder stat set to? Is your immersion heater on? Do you have a secondary return. Need actual temps because scalding is different to individuals..

Brand? Model?

This is the crux of your issues. You are trying to compare and resolve two completely different worlds... And worlds apart they are. Thank fook IIMBSB :)

I can get off the edge of my seat now then thank fook.

Just chop a bit of the wall out.

Yep or a rubber bung type for internal which will get you lower down.

Depends on situation but I try and install them so that it goes up in adjacent cupboard(s) and across at high level rather than snaking for 2-3m under the kickboards!

Every washing machine and dishwasher "won't drain" I attend, the hose runs under the units and up to the spigot. They clogg up with particles that build up over time and can eventually kill the pump.

When you weren't "retired", were you a plumber?

I don't leave leaks. They may occur post visit due to expansion/contractions/pressure fluctuations, but I check and recheck there are none whilst I'm there.

Are you G3 qualified? Doubt it. As I said above... If it's under warranty or new install, you have to follow MI's. If not and your own place... Pretty much do as you wish.

Only in the plumbing forum! But, I guess it's easy for us when we've a van full of odds and sods and the know-how to hurdle whatever obstacle is out in front of us... I get it all the time in my local merchants, where I drink a lot of tea, behind the counter... "what do I need to need to...

Don't reuse existing nut. 15mm will go on 1/2 anyway. Just get rid of old nut and olive, if it is indeed imperial.

Waste in floor in photo would also need a trap so, unless chasing it into wall and using a hepvo inline, your best bet would be to use a sink spigot but keep the drain hose up high... Not along the floor.

Is the heater new? Still under warranty? If so, ask the manufacturer.

Take a couple of imperial olives. Use the stopcock in the street if its a modern meter one... Internal (if you can find it) will likely be seized. Drain the rising main via kitchen cold tap.

And when you do replace it... Never ever use it :LOL:
