Yesterday I installed a Wiser HubR and a bunch of radiator thermostats (12). I keep a few rooms completely shut as we do not use them, and the real temperature in those rooms is about 16.C, but the radiator thermostats show 18C and 19C. The radiators are off, the doors are closed, there are no...

Exactly that. I think it is one minute in my case.

I have a "Worcester Bosch Greenstar 8000 Life 40kW Regular Gas Boiler" Worcester technical support have told me that it is not possible to tell the boiler to increase flow temperatures. We even discussed if it might be made possible with a new boiler motherboard. Which does not yet exist. I was...

Thanks, yes "an auto-bypass" seems to be it. And I presume it is an S plan. Two independent 2-port valves, in parallel, one valve controlling the CH loop and the other controlling the HW loop. The two valves operate independently of each other. They can be both open or closed or any...

Could anyone please offer some advice? I have : a conventional boiler, one pump, two valves (CH and HW), one room thermostat, one HW cylinder thermostat and one timer module. When the room or the HW thermostat opens, immediately the corresponding valve shuts off, while the main pump is...

This is the flexible pipe I used. (the copper pipes are 22mm)

Thanks. I found in my storage some short flexi tubes but with large diameter and have used these. I did not use the flexi tap connectors. I do not know what the ones I have used really are for :-)

Hi everyone, Could you please advise me: I would like to install a wireless CH control system to replace a simple timer and thermostat. There are multiple brands and models to choose from. I would like the following features: 1) wireless control from inside the house without relying on the...

Hello everyone, I have a water filter and water softener and would like to connect them to the rigid pipework which is 22mm and 28mm with flexible tap connectors. The ones I already have here have a small internal diameter, about 13mm. I am looking for something better, if it exists...

I think I will simply have to take off (break up) the plasterboards and get access to the underside of the flange. Then new plasterboard, skimming, painting...

I have access to the flange but it implies breaking up decorative and skimmed plasterboard sections (steel beam is boxed in). Also I have fitted noggins inside the web and if by bad luck I land on a noggin then its going to be even more awkward. Just thinking aloud. probably I will have to...

It is for a balustrade very similar to this picture. The bolts go into the base channel before you slot the glass in. Need to be super strong about 380kg horizontal force at 1m height and at every one metre.

I would like to bolt down a railing base over a steel beam, and it requires 12mm bolts. Ideally I would drill a 12mm hole into the steel flange, then fix it with a 12mm bolt from the top and a nut from below. However I do not have easy (or any) access to the space inside the beam and so I cannot...

I was thinking if that is the case or are there obstructions inside that make it impossible to insert the electrical element. I will have to ask the seller(s) but I doubt they would themselves even know.

I am trying to find an electrical, horizontal towel rail and it is proving difficult. There is much better choice if it were a CH type (not electric). Would it be possible to fit an electrical heating element into an ordinary towel radiator? Would it fit? Those electrical elements are 1/2" BSP...

I have been working in the small cloakroom. I am attaching photos from before pouring the slab to today. I trimmed the soil pipe rising up from the floor and looked inside and noticed a piece of rubber caught inside the pipe. This rubber is the seal of the flexible pan connector they used...

Thinking aloud: Above this bathroom there is a staircase and bedrooms upstairs (in the loft space). I could run a vertical, rectangular vent pipe to the roof through the floor and a bedroom upstairs. I would box it in, and it would be adjacent to a partition wall. Aside of the trouble of...

Is venting through the soil pipes not complying with regulations? In this thread, up to now, it is being debated. Unless you know for sure?

Ahh, I already have 3 soil vent pipes around the house. I will not ask my BC man. I will leave it as is, and if he spots it during final inspection, then we cross that bridge.

I did not describe it properly. My idea is to build a "box" inside which there is an AAV (durgo valve) (one way valve pulling air from the room but not allowing air to go into the room), then a "strong" fan, and then a pipe of some diameter which is connected to the soil pipe at the back of the...
