Nothing "triggers" the accumulator. It's a large expansion vessel. The incoming main will compress the gas on one side of the diaphragm and the remainder of the vessel will fill with water at the standing pressure. If a draw off exceeds the incoming flow rate the pressure will reduce in the...

How were you going to connect up the tap if you can't get to the pipework?

It would never occur to me to chase pipe unless specifically requested by the customer. Pipes straight up into the radiator from the floor is standard. The ones with the hidden pipes are normally new build with pipe drops hidden behind the plasterboard.

Self tapping screw in the end of the rod.

You must comply with any clearances that the manufacturer specifies.

I reckom you'd be better off with a couple of sturdy saw horses and some quick clamps. http://www.axminster.co.uk/benches--portable-dept208042_pg1/ http://www.axminster.co.uk/quick-clamps-dept814883_pg1/

Funny how this has been spammed elsewhere as well. Anyone would think that NorthernJen had some sort of link with tapmagician or is that just me being cynical.

The best way is to get a registered gas installer in to advise on cylinder positions etc. They would probably be able to do most of the work before the kitchen is fitted.

It's the position of the outlet in relation to the head of water that matters. You need a negative head pump and yes it can go below the cylinder.

This is not a DIY job. Work on an unvented cylinder needs to be completed by a plumber with the G3 qualification.

Use the books provided by the body setting the exams.

Why not just have a dual element unvented cylinder fitted?

Probably working up to a massive spam fest.

I would say your biggest mistake is trusting one quote from anybody, especially British gas. get a second quote.

Replacing the pipe won't make any difference to the pressure but it may improve the flow. This work is notifiable under the water regulations unless completed by a water industry approved plumber.

The hammer stop facility is for light chiselling so yes you are abusing it. If you're looking at doing a lot of chisseling you need to look at getting a heavier duty machine.

Gas appliances are allowed in bedrooms as long as they follow some rules. From BS 5871 7.2 A gas appliance with a heat input of over 12.7Kw installed in a room used as or intended to be used as sleeping accomodation shall be room sealed. 7.3 A gas appliance with a heat input of not...

No, the boiler should not be used whilst the heating circuit is drained down. If it's going to be some time you could temporarliy put a large loop of pipe between the flow and return connections.

I always fix battens to 3 sides at the correct height and gripfill the bath down to them. That leaves the bath nice and level and I then just adjust the legs down so that they touch the floor and screw them down. I throw the 2 silly little brackets away.

Did he leave his horse outside? He's either going to throw it in or work for peanuts.
