As long as you have access/rodding chamber to any change in direction you are fine per building regs. Most inspectors will not mind a change in direction of the run is less that 2 metres to the nearest access/inspection chamber so have a chat with them and show them your plan. Pete

Have you installed it pumping in the correct direction? Pete

As described they can be a nightmare to seal. Usuall they have a clear chamfered shaped sealing ring on the trap stem where it is inserted into the main bottle to allow for extension to fit. Pete

Hi Alan ideally change it all to plastic. You have a few issues if you chase it into the wall you undermine the integrity of the structure. I am not too sure if you need a change of direction in the soil pipe to get it where you want. If so a nightmare in terms of fittings in a tight confined...

As Rob advises should source the issue, simple cheap test would be to put some insulation on the cold feed and see if the damp continues/reduces. Pete

Are you trying to get a rain water down pipe into a cast soil pipe? Pete

Price is very good what exactly is entailed in the quote. Pete

You would have to convert to a sealed heating circuit for a rad in the loft. A standard 5m head pump on full speed should suffice, however it all depends on the existing load, your installer will be able to advise. If you are going for an unvented cylinder then the loft shower should be fine...

Best bet is to replace it with plastic. Pete

A few more things to check would be the cold inlet valve on the combi. They may also have a flow rate valve from memory, a knurled plastic headed valve accesed from under the boiler. You need to actually check the pressure as ok, not great and not too bad can mean so many different things to...

You are mixing up an unvented hot water storage cylinder which distributes the hot water to all outlets with mains pressure. The heating system is pumped around a dedicated circuit by a pump (which can be sealed or vented) unless it is very old and works on a gravity system. Pete

We are all waiting :?: Pete

Are you a plumber by trade or as in your title a diy plumber. I only ask to get your level of competency and to advise you accordingly. The boiler is a combination boiler, it even says so on the panel :shock: The mixer taps you linked will still only dribble out if the flow and pressure...

Depending on whatever model you have 60 degrees is low as most stores operate at 70 degrees and higher. Has it always been 60 degrees? Pete

How old is the system what is the make and model. What is the temp of the thermal store? It could be a few things, possible limescale coating the mixing valve and heat exchanger. Incoming mains colder since summer is apparently over. Pete

You were already told a Mira which I second. ps everything does have to be rcd protected now even lights Pete

I think you maybe confusing this with the expansion vessel or even an automatic air vent usually located on top of the pump as these both have dust style caps. Post a pic to confirm. Pete

I am sure you can fit a shower head in that space so best go for a wet room. :lol: Pete

Well I changed a radiator in a classroom when they were having a lesson so that must count? :D Pete

The ones who wear suits are the to be avoided like the plague :lol: Pete
