The reason I've brought this topic up is I have 25 year old pipes, with a ten year old system filter & a relatively new ecotec 837 boiler. There is no filter on the inlet/return manifold - like you used to get with the performa boilers...

Hoping to open up a technical discussion regarding best practice with Y-strainers (also spelled wye – strainer) on domestic CH systems. I’m hoping this thread can be a general discussion to explore this topic & share any insights members might have. I’d like to flesh this out - so newbies can...

History: Unit originally came with a transparent bowl. It kept weeping at joint- so I sent it back to adey for a service. Pressure tested on rig - bowel was upgraded to the revised black one, as a manufacturing defect was confirmed: Current: It's now time for the annual service –...

Now most of the apparatus positioned and measure right. I need advice on whether I need to insulate the tube along its length & if yes - which type of the insulation I should use. Does it need to cover the entire length of the tube within the bored hole?

I'm very grateful to all those that have contributed thus far. I need a little more help - just to complete the job - and am asking for some guidance: My questions here are about learning something - including theory & best practice (for my education). 1. Clearly I need to 'make...

Drill - resting ontop of the cabinet.

Nail on the head.

I should have asked - what revision CU unit is this?

John - second module from the right, the only 30A mcb with a single wire attached.

Andy - you on Meth? Or something else? After the unwelcome approach of a select few fellow members on the forum - I got up on a step ladder - and took a look today. The plastic can be seen in the original pics - poking out the top - of the unit. I'm asking - should this be there?

Need some help understanding something: He did't removed the plastic film covering the rear of the unit, that contacts the wall: (Pic was taken when the unit was being unpacked pre-install). It's currently there on the rear of the unit - as installed. Is this protective covering supposed...

Hoping for Advice, thoughts and suggestions about the following install & moving forward: Electrician came over on Thursday - full install - cooker hood/extractor. Obviously - to isolate the kitchen supply - he accessed the consumer unit. I asked if he could take the cover off - and give it a...

Be reasonable. If you went to a mainstream high street kitchen retailer that design and fully fit the kitchen - would you go through - each of their workers qualifications and experience as they walk through the door - one by one? Be reasonable.

Its was a full fitted kitchen - mfi etc. and the like. We bought - they fit - beginning to end. They sent the installer.

Lesson Learned. I was 18 when the original was fitted.

Canopy hood inside a box - sealed on all sides. Why would I think to to clean inside it? It's not the same electrician. The canopy hood installer was not the same trades person that build the kitchen extension or the conservatory. Two separate trades persons - two separate problems, if this...
