Do everything would hopefully stay in place except for the the old poly pipe? I like the idea of carefully inserting new 32mm SW into it and silicone. I can see the collar staying in place tbh just where it inserts has a very worn seal. Why do they still sell these? It’s an awful design imo...

Hi All I’m looking to replace all this worn/leaking 32mm waste to Solvent Weld including the part going through the wall cavity as it it SW inside going to a basin waste. I’m thinking the strap boss rubber has also perished but the wrap and this type of boss insert with small rubber seal will...

I disagree. The gas valve is controlled by the PCB/probably a 12v or 24v output to a solenoid. Not difficult and as a spark to test and I’m more than competent to test it. It’s a very simple boiler with very little required to function. The pilot is lit without it even powered. I think if you...

What is this simple fault? I’ve ordered new fan. I fitted this boiler around 1997/98 ish. Thanks.

I have another update. I noticed a slight squeaking noise from the fan. Presume it’s a bearing. I switched it off at mains and back on the the fan is not starting yet has 90v at idle. I did get it to run though after giving it a ‘glum’ and it also ran at full speed/230v when demand was called...

This is the model -https://www.freeboilermanuals.com/assets/pdf/ferroli/Optima_701_Manual.pdf

Hi All Just came home and noticed had no HW or CH on my Ferroli 701. Gas pilot is lit Pressure is ok. PRV is not passing. EV has 1.2 Bar and is not releasing water from the shrader valve (so balloon ok) Fan is spinning at low speed (90v) and speeds up to full speed (230v) when called via HW...

I have and came up with what u linked. It dies not mention the slider i posted about.

I just checked and mine is numbered on the slider. Looks like a Chinese copy one. Odd thing is 5 is at the top and 1 at the bottom. Lol But it looks like slide down bottom/1 for full flush. Cheers guys.

Hi all Began fitting one of these today and noticed there is a slide position going from 1-5? I presume this is for the amount of water is flushed? How is this controlled? So your slide the position UP for increased flush or DOWN? There are no instructions and I can not find details? Thanks

The other half just does not want HW. So I’m happy. Lol. I found a video from another one which looks the same but from Victoria Plumb. It seems the CW inlet/fill has 15mm T/spur off it to connect the CW flexi too. The HW will then also need to be fully fitted but just capped off on the...

It’s a massive job to run a HW supply as the existing toilet is in an outhouse and HW is not required at all. Just seems a silly design tbh/way of doing it. Cheers.

Wow. That’s an odd design. I have messaged the seller for instructions. IF it is like that then I would need to split the CW feed. One for cistern fill and one to the CW of tap flexi. I presume the other HW flexi would also need to be fitted to prevent backflip from the CW one? I would...

So there are two inputs to the bottom of the cistern? Still does not make sense tbh???

Hi all Looking to replace my old toilet with a toilet/basin combo. I’ve fitted a few toilets and basins separately but never a combo? I’m looking at this combo pack as it comes with a monobloc tap but I’m baffled as to how the tap gets its feed as the tail/s must go into the cistern...

Hi All Got a 32mm waste from a basin that is leaking from only the centre part where it bends/dips. It leaves the wall in pushfit and down to a strap. I want to replace it with solvent weld if possible but I’m not sure what will fit from the bend outlet to the boss/strap. Can I pull the...

Sussed ur now. Seems 1700mm / 700mm is normal.

Thanks so much for replying!! I’ll do it in solid pipe I think then. I’ve also ordered the 3/4” flexi with isolation for the bath taps. I was just going to replace the old individual taps for a modern single one (they are 180mm spaced) as it would fit. But looking at the new toilet and...

Why can’t use flexi on bath? It would make it SO much easier to fit. Managed to rip out old toilet/basin/flooring today and fitted new. Flooring was the hardest part tbh! Toilet is in but basin is not. Do I just need to extend the 32mm waste with length of it and two couplers? If so I...

There is no means of isolation on the twin taps I have on the old taps so I need valves. I’m replacing the whole basin/pedestal and witching from twin old taps to a mono. I’m also doing the x2 bath taps and hopefully changing them to a modern twin single unit. I’ve been googling and I can...
