Low level is a cistern with a flush pipe between it and the pan Close coupled the cistern seats on the pan.

Have a look at Faq 3.

Yes i would, if it's a plastic valve actuator held on by two screws they are prone to sticking when not used for any length of time.

Might have just stuck where it hasn't been used for a while.

Has it got 2 or 3 pipes connected to it?.

What make is it?. Is it 3 or 2 port?.

Most systems have motorised valves 2 port or 3 port to stop the flow to either hot water or heating, they have micro switches which turn on the boiler via roomstat or cylinderstat. look for square shaped box or boxes on pipes could be plastic or metal.

Most likely a faulty motorised valve.

I agree with last post, forget the idea of leaving vent above redundant tank. Also make sure you comply with regs buy Byelaw 30 kit as well as new tank, make sure when using tank to feed both hot and cold that the outlets at the bottom of tank aren't at the same height. ie make sure the...

If it is dark a dark blue colour its called Durapipe, which is like solvent weld but a different type of solvent weld, it used to be used by local councils and was very brittle in cold weather you only had to look a it and it broke, you had to get it perfectly dry glue new fittings and leave for...

If you have a low level cistern and pan, not a close coupled one the pan is probably set to far back not allowing seat to stay up, or sometimes some seat furniture/hinges can be fitted the wrong way around which gives this problem.

Hi reading your thread there is no reason why you can't run your vent horizontally across to new tank position, as long as it has a rise towards the new tank, is well clipped to prevent it from sagging, is insulated to prevent freezing. When you read in books etc about vent pipes to rise...

Hi as long as your plumber knows about heating he should have been able to diagnose your fault.

You can tell most times by the difference in temperature of plate heat exchangers by touching them at the top and bottom, if the connections from the main exchanger side are really hot and the connections to domestic are cool this usually means there is a restriction, most plate ex block quite...

Hi sitting right in the middle of the boiler behind the drop down control box after you have removed the outer cover is the water pressure switch which get blocked and will show up as no pressure even though you may have plenty of pressure. It is easy removed once you have dropped the...

Would really need to know what controls you have, as you are only saying which boiler you have. For instance if you have a 3 port zone valve to control heating and hot water, you would be using hot water on and hot water off terminals 1 & 3 but only heating on terminal.

Sounds like what your describing as a hopper is a gully outside. Where you say the pipe is going straight into the floor this would be the pipe i'm refering to as a back or side inlet to the gully. Providing the new waste pipe discharges above the water seal in the gully and below the grid you...

You don't say what type of foul water drain it will go into, will it be into a back or side inlet gully below grid and above water level or soil pipe from toilet. It should be allowed in 50mm pipe at that length but it would be best to check with BC for your area.
