It's positive head only which means it needs the supply to be higher, as long as you're aware of that it should be fine.

I'd recommend Stuart Turner pumps. Just noticed the disconnected pipes, has it always been like that? If so that will break the pump very quickly, if you don't need a twin impeller pump then buy a single.

Replace the whole ball valve assy with a new one, the latest plastic ones are good but get one with a brass connection to the copper pipework. Screwfix do a suitable one by fluidmaster. The limescale around the existing fitting is not unusual, the nut just needs nipping up but as you'll be...

As I understand it it's not a case of using both but rather use one or the other, the methods of control are mutually exclusive. A simple on/off is what you need for hot water. OT uses a completely different method whereby the water is heated to a constant low temp.

As far as I can recall open therm control will not work with hot water cylinders.

He's not working on thrcombustion chamber , only the water side. The cover does not form part of the combustion chamber, if you knew that model you would know that.

Yes, if you are comfortable with electrics and three port valves.

There is a new lyric that can also control the hot water as well as heating.

I reckon that the plastic piece in the string bag is the joining bit that someone forgot to put on.

Can't believe my eyes, I'd connect that open soil vent pipe to the roof outlet immediately.

Try Honeywell T6R. Constant temp display, comes wired or wireless, remote control, geofencing. I love it.

I recently fitted an acova in my bathroom to replace a leaking chrome column radiator, came with free TRV and lockshield, excellent quality and the hangers are infinitely adjustable.

I used to get through honeywell actuators regularly but about 6 years ago I changed the rubber ball underneath and have had no further problems. You can buy that part separately from honeywell.

I replaced a leaking radiator last week and the wanted to replace the washer in the drain cock, I have loads of spare washers but they are all too big, 1/2 size, the one on the drain cock is much smaller, about 3/8, it is a 25 year old item, any ideas where I can get ones that small please?

I agree, but I think i paid about sixty quid for the one I've got now, that was about twenty years ago though.

Thanks for that but I'm not paying £500 for one rad, plus none of them are wide enough, I'm thinking of fitting a different rad inside the existing pipework and just turning the fittings 180 degrees, does that sound feasible?

Thanks for the suggestion, but no markings anywhere. I bought two many years ago for the bathroon and toilet and cannot for the life of me remember where from.

I've recently returned from a few days away to discover this rad was leaking, there's a pinhole at the top, so I need to replace it, the dimensions are 1000mm x 800mm, the tails are on the inside of the rad, as the bathroom floor has very recently been renewed I don't really want to move the...

I had oneof them, it broke within a year, truly crap.I ended up with a Monarxh dual softener, excellent quality.

Do you have a 3 port valve in the airing cupboard? If hot water works and ch doesn't this valve is usually the culprit.
