Agree with Mr Seco. Hope you kept all the packaging for the new shower :roll:

Gently with a hammer and chisel knock out the cement out from where the pan waste connects to the clay waste - once its free crack the pan out from the floor and clear the concrete from under the pan. As mentioned earlier can get new fitting to slide into clay waste pipe in floor, sometimes...

... i think you may need to clarify the position before anyone can reply. F&E tank usually refers to the small feed & expansion tank used to feed the vented central heating system. Ignoring the central heating F&E tank: You say the second tank gets fed from feeds to the DHWC - does...

... 1) as previously mentioned an unvented cylinder should have sufficient pressure and a sufficient store of hot water to feed both showers at the same time without a lack of pressure. 2) Conventional Vented system with a large CWSC in loft and a good size DHWC with a pump capable of...

Hi All, some help please: As the title says, moving central heating pipework out of screed and into loft, with drop downs for rads. System is open vented, with cylinder, pump & mid-position valve all in airing cupboard. Boiler is a Potterton Netaheat - wall mounted in Kitchen. All...

Hi Tony, Thanks for all info, i did think that it would be an 80,000 BTU but didnt want to assume :roll: New rad it is then, their other option is a wet underfloor heating system - but doubting the boiler would cope with that!

Hi Guys, Customer called me and wants to add a rad (or underfloor heating) into their new conservatory being built. Been told over the phone that their Boiler is a "Ideal Minimiser SD 80" anyone heard of these, done a bit of research on here but not come up with anything. Am looking for...

Just a quick thought - if its UPVC double glazing units, can't you just remove the beading and pop out the double glazing glass unit? only take 5 minutes to do. Dextrous post seems good solution! :o

Or lean out a window to fit the outside gril :lol:

Why don't you just hire a long core drill and can drill the whole hole from the inside, then just scamper up the ladder to put the grill on. No need to carry heavy drills up wobbly ladders. Something like one of these...

Can't check pressure without a pressure guage, only £11.81 from screwfix http://www.screwfix.com/search.do;jsessionid=PYHEF0PG2EL4CCSTHZPCFEY?_dyncharset=UTF-8&fh_search=pressure+guage

Why would it be a joke. You create a small stud boxing and plasterboard it then plaster it. There are no cistern or pipework to be hidden inside, provided you know where the studs are then you can attach the cistern securely to these through the plaster and plasterboard. The boxing would run...

It would look neatest to follow whatever finish you are giving to the walls. You mention plastering the walls, I would therefore make up your box out of 3x2 timber and then clad that in plasterboard. You can then get that plastered at the same time as the walls. Will look much smarter and...

Agree with powell30. 9/10 times blockage is where cold feed from F&E joins on to return pipework. Can clear with gently tapping of pipework to dislodge anything there, magnets either side to try and sift a blockage, try tipping down kind of pipe clearing solution down the outlet from the F&E...

i've got one and used it a fair bit. They are great when working in confined spaces or spaces you really wouldn't want to lite up your torch! Agree that they take a long time to cool down, but they do come with a little stand to rest them on while they do so. I usually leave them to cool...
