Makes no odds to me, IMO the armour only really suffers if they've been poorly installed or subjected to repeated submersion/corrosive gases. Rarely going to get that in domestic unless you fit it too close to the ground.

I've got no qualms about using armour as cpc

Pretty sure they're saying the terminals will only accept 10mm cable at most.

You could, they normally come in 300 or 500mm so make sure 500 will make it to the tap. You only need to go hand tight + a little nip when connecting to the new tap, don't go mental or you'll ruin the rubber seal

You also get offset ones like these which might give you a bit more fall if required

No idea where you're planning on putting your radiators. Which rads are you repositioning? What is the capped 22mm pipe?

If it's really 50mm od our 50mm solvent weld might fit straight over it

One of these and a 50 to 40mm reducer would work. You'd need a bit of 50mm pipe too. Wouldn't be surprised if there's other workarounds I don't know about though

Doesn't have to be digital, could use Vernier calipers

Could be slow enough not to notice. Disconnect it and see if the pressure drops.

If we're assuming it's not the boiler and you don't lose pressure the only likely explanation is you're not getting all the air out. Do you have an external pump or expansion vessel? If your filling loop is permanently connected could a passing valve be hiding the pressure drop?

I'm not sure if the rcd provided with the easee is compliant, I fell foul of this with the zappi. Most installers would want to fit an upfront rcd

Definitely be worth fitting some kind of leak detector

Even if that is the case it shouldn't particularly matter in this instance as he says he's running swa from the jb.

Lol

Yep, solder is pretty soft. Sandpaper will remove steel with a rub, just takes a hell of a lot more rubbing

That's a bodge though and not a very good one. It's probably already peeled off the back, insulating tape doesn't really stand the test of time unless it's wrapped tightly around itself

If you can't get compound around the olive you won't get PTFE tape around it. Get a strip of sandpaper and give it the bath towel rub treatment until you can slide the nut back

Right enough, joint compound might be the way to go then.
