Look like a crimp system and as such will not be demountable, another thing to be aware of is a lot of MLP systems are imported and may not be ”standard” UK sizes, instead of 15mm, 22mm and 28mm you may find it’s 16mm, 20mm and 25mm.

If the towel warmer is installed on the Secondary DHW system it would need to be manufactured from copper rather than mild steel and to be of any real use would need to be installed on a pumped / secondary circulation system. Otherwise it would only circulate when a hot tap is opened. Much...

Obsolete if it is

It could be Hep2o, the H and V depth insertion markers are consistent with their markings, the black print on the pipe would suggest that it’s “Standard” pipe and not “Barrier” pipe. It should have “Hepworth“ or “Hep2o” printed on it approximately every metre or so. If you aren’t able to...

Another option is to use a compression tee with copper olives, and stainless steel pipe inserts. Shouldn’t need anything else but you could use PTFE tape but not jointing paste.

Searched the part number and this came up, may be worth checking with them Showing as in stock but £100 + VAT Main are part of Baxi group and probably share components across brands.

With Hep2o the 18bar test only applies if very old or “Slimline” fittings are incorporated in the system, this is because they are “O” ring first, grab ring second. Current generation of fittings are grab ring first “O” ring second so require an initial low pressure test (0.5 - 1 bar) followed...

If the fitting “let go” of the polypropylene and caused damage you woul probably be on your own as far as warranty is concerned, most push fit fittings are only covered if used as a system or onto copper. Good practice when connecting one plastic manufacturer to another is to use a compression...

Polybutylene pipe has a minimum bending radius of 8 times the pipe diameter (15mm pipe has a bending radius of 120mm). There are no specific bending tools for plastic pipe, cold form bends can be used to hold the pipe in a bent position, over bending can damage and weaken the pipe.

Having the Engineer code is half the battle, cancel any maintenance agreement, download the installation / programming instructions, replace the backup battery and if needed come back here if you need any help.

As Secureiam says, it depends on your sounder, it will have a rechargeable battery that powers the sounder if the supply from the panel is removed (turned off, removed or cable cut). You could get the ladders out and disconnect the battery or sounder or let the battery run down. If it’s a...

While you are going to the trouble of replacing it, go for a Pegler service valve, the cheap ones all leak eventually. They are cheap for a reason.

Unless it’s been fitted with some sort of aftermarket anti theft fixings, I know some social housing and local councils fit “anti-lift“ brackets on radiators to prevent theft while empty premises are being 2nd fixed, maybe they do similar with boilers. Otherwise it’s a simple job, usually remove...

Hikvision ColorVu are good value for your money, not too sure what resolution your DVR can handle, signals switchable TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS and colour at night.

Personally I wouldn’t touch one, you don’t know how badly damaged it was before the repair and the quality of the workmanship. There are an awful lot of high end cars ending up on Main Dealers forecourts having been badly damaged, repaired and sold as “approved” vehicles with a clean bill of...

I have used the Texecon Odyssey range of Sounders, very simple to connect to Veritas panels. A on Panel to A on Sounder B on Panel to B on Sounder ….etc

You could always change the sounder to a Texecom one, the wiring couldn’t be simpler. A to A B to B Etc

You are correct, the default engineer code is 1234 then press ‘prog’, if this doesn’t work then the engineer code has been changed. Your options are 1. Try to obtain the code from previous owner / installer. 2. Default to factory settings and select new user and engineer codes then reprogram...
