Just for future reference for anybody needing to connect to odd size CI, I have found the perfect fitting at my local independent DIY store. It's the Oracstar WF95 multifit boss. Tapered rubber seal so no bodgey silicone joint. Only £8.00 It's in here, download the waste brochure...

Well, I've located one in stock 30 miles away in Gateshead. Only problem is, he tells me it has a tolerance of 110mm - 118mm OD. I'm pretty sure the stuff I'm dealing with is 100mm OD :cry:

No, it's for a Saniflo installation. I need one quick as the job has to be finished in time for the lady getting out of hospital next week. Just ringing round, Plumbs don't do one so may have to wait until Drainage Center open on monday. Regarding using a plastic boss onto CI, most will go...

Calm down dear! :wink: You can get a 1/2 inch chrome plated cap that will fit directly. Pop the rubber washer off the hose into the cap. Hand tight plus a nip will do.

Cheers, that'll be pricey then knowing Wolseley.

I need a strap boss for 4" cast iron. Does anybody know who stocks these or maybe a link? Also, any idea of cost?

Chances are she will. "Why do I have to have that dirty great vent kit put through my lounge wall?" I say go electric.

:lol: I think it's better the OP lists all the controls, prog, motorised valve, cylinder stat if there is one, roomstat if there is one etc. Then I may be able to supply a diagram. Sound to me he has the potential for a Y-plan if he upgrades the prog and adds an extra wire or 2...

But the OP says he has a Tempus ONE, which is a single channel prog. lol Just to confuse things. 8)

:D :D

Ahem, I thought the Ferroli Sigma was a range of cast-iron heat only boilers, Bengasman. Clue is right there in the 40/60. In which case the Tempus will be controlling HW as well. If this is the case , the OP should be fitting a roomstat only!

Have Baxi failed to realise that most existing BBU installations still run gravity primaries. Rather than have to do a fully pumped upgrade, surely a combi would be easier and cheaper. Sound a right ******* to fit on your own, lol. BBU s were always hard graft, I thought I'd installed my...

Purchasing a flue gas analyser has had very little effect on the way I service a boiler. I still clean the combustion chamber, hex, burner, fan, venturi, etc. Check high and low burner pressures and safety devices, electrodes etc. Then I apply the FGA and print off the result. Remember, the...

Yes there has been issues. They are made by Grasslin and are used by several manufacturers. I'm currently using the Salus after suffering communication issues with some makes. The Salus RT500RF seems to have excellent range (60m) and has been trouble free so far. Plus they're very reasonably...

I use a Testo 827-1 adv. Nice piece of kit that exudes quality. They do a great dvd with it as well.

Yeeha!! Great thread, kept me up late! Bottom line is, every job must be designed on it's own merits. I suspect Bengasman has only worked in areas where there is bountiful water supply pressures. Sadly the UK is not all like that. Stored water and open vented systems are often the only...

A sparky who understands heating controls and principals is a very rare beast indeed! I'm in Durham, not too far!

Oh dear, if the brown has been cut, how does the valve open?? Sounds like you need an RGI with excellent heating electrics knowledge. There could be live stuff there that shouldn't be, :shock:

I imagine the feed goes to the cylinder stat and comes out on the 'call for heat' side, then connects to the brown on the MV. I am only guessing from the info you have provided. If this is so, the vave will close when the cyl stat is satisfied, but the boiler will continue to cycle on it's...

Turbo, boiler model please!!
