Thanks LinkyPlumb I must have been looking at the combi systems not the heat only bolers. I finally managed to download an installation manual which shows just as you said, top connections Fozzie

I am looking for advice on choosing a replacement boiler for my bungalow. Firstly a bit of info. The building to be heated is a large 4 bedroom bungalow with a garden room and study. The building is well insulated and has underfloor heating throughout, with a towel rail in the bathroom and...

When we contacted our gas supplier about the possibility of increasing the pressure at the regulator, they had a National Grid engineer on site within an hour and told us to turn everything off. Whether this is because we said we had low pressure and they thought we had a leak I dont know...

These were customer requirements/aspirations as well as conforming with current regulations Understood I Think!!!! Agreed but other posters have recommended a number that are stainless steel hence my post has partly been answered. Yes. Again agreed although other posters have said that an...

I started a new post because it was a different question and was asking for recommendations on a boiler with a stainless steel heat exchanger as both the servicing engineer and the Electromechanical Consulting firm who did the calculations both say stay clear of an aluminium based boiler because...

Thanks Tony but if you read my previous thread http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1931181#1931181 you will see this is not a straight forward problem. Until we get the correct gas input pressure of 20mB at the boiler, which means having the meter moved or up-sizing the supply pipework...

Thanks for the replies guys and for the link. The previous tenant had tried to reseal the cistern with silicon so I have already had to change the donut so a change of the flush system seems a much easier option than faffing around with the overflow. Fozzie

Can anyone advise on the correct way to connect a toilet cistern overflow in a bathroom served by a 100mm PVC soil stack and no external wall. The toilet is close coupled so I cannot connect to the flush pipe but I am not sure if it is permissable to connect to the soil stack above the boss...

I am sure all plumbers and heating engineers have their favourites but can anyone recommend a condensing boiler as a replacement to an Ideal Mexico FF100 currently installed in our Village Hall? As I understand it needs to conform to the following:- 1) Be a condensing boiler due to change in...

Just a quick update and a thank you to all those who replied to my posting. I have now sucessfully had a quotation from Crown Energy to resite the existing meter from an external box to a lobby on our Village Hall kitchen (which also involves digging up a concrete yard for the full 20+m and...

Sounds daft but is there a definition of a boiler house? We are getting a quotation from Crown Energy to resite our gas meter and the preference is to put it in a small building (2m x 2m) attached to the Village Hall kitchen. This has both a door leading to the hall kitchen and another to open...

No none what so ever. You are reliant on them receiving the information and then visiting site. In the end I went to Crown Energy who will do a quotation for free. I have taken some photos and created a plan of the current and proposed locations and will await their reply. One final question...

Just been round and checked the length of the pipe run. Its actually in excess of 32m not 15m as I estimated. Thanks for that observation I will relay that to the architect who is dealing with the plumber. Have just dug out the paperwork from National Grid (previously Transco) their...

About £175 plus vat for 15m according to this site http://www.colglo.co.uk/product.php?product=TRACBFGP2815&category=219d0373 About 15m but it winds all round a building and has numerous elbows which we assume is causing the restriction. Was a verbal quote by Transco during a discussion on...

Its a regular floor standing boiler about 10 years old. Not sure of the make. We have just had a new extension put on the hall and the radiators (and rooms) are not coming up to temperature. It was designed by a firm of electromechanical engineers so their calculations have been double checked...

I wonder if any Gas Safe or Heating Engineers can advise on the following:- Our village hall has a very long external pipe run from the gas meter to the boiler. Although it is in 22mm copper the pressure at the boiler is only 16mBar which we belive is causing low water temperatures from the...

I am sure you are now an expert in Remote Desktop :wink: but there are a few things you should know/may help. Windows XP Pro will only accept one instance of remote desktop at any one time. There are hacks on the internet to increase this but I suspect only yourself would need access to this...

Hi Macman81, I have had two over the last few months one Antivirus 2007 and then Antivirus Pro 2009. The poor guys couldn't do anything with their PCs without continual pop ups or the browser taking them off to the Antivirus Pro website. You can boot in safe mode but I tend to use BartPE then...

That only works for stereo Breezer. What BigJon has bought is a Trust 5.1 surround sound system which has three leads one for rear, one for front and one for centre which he has correctly plugged in to the Orange, Black and Grey sockets on his motherboard soundcard. BigJon, the soundcard is...

Although you have fixed you problem you can get ghost on a bootable CD/DVD. One option is called BartPE. If you go to their website http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/you can download and build a bootable ISO which can include a Ghost plug in amongst other valuable tools. All you need is a genuine...
