    Plumber installed boiler - roomstat not compliant & no T

    I doubt you could get him/her back in as his contract was with the previous owner not you. Also building regs are different for new installations and replacement of existing equipment. Pete

    Draining heating system - nothing coming out drain valve

    Hopefully near the pump you will see the motorised valves which usually have galvanised steel covers or white plastic On the side of the cover box will be a metal or plastic lever which can be pushed against the internal spring to open the valve.

    Draining heating system - nothing coming out drain valve

    You can try using mains water to flush it out. Cap off the vent pipe with a push fit stop end and then connect a mains feed to the feed pipe coming from your feed/expansion tank and see if that blows it out of your drain cock. Pete ps have you made sure if you have any motorised valves...

    Yes you can remove the drain cock and insert a tee with the drain on the bottom. Then you can have the feed off to the right to your cistern. You must reinstate the drain cock at the last point before the stop valve. Pete

    Can I add a Heating Element to my InDirect Cylinder?

    I doubt you could sucessfully open the capping without distorting the main cylinder wall as they are very thin and that one looks pretty old and possibly full of limescale which will have set like concrete around the inside of the cap. Elements carry 3kw so you would have to ensure your...

    Macerator Waste Pipe

    Syphonage is more likely if you have a drop of say 10m+ as this can cause a vacum and pull fluid etc from the unit. Always best to enlarge the bore on the run as soon as possible so go with the 40mm on the vertical. How long is your drop and do not forget to use a couple of 135d bends at the...

    Macerator Waste Pipe

    Run it at the maximum bore you can achieve. We never run in 22mm even though it states the machine can handle it, we use minimum 32mm with long bends. 25mm mdpe would be difficult to connect to the soil stack and again it is quite thick so the nominal value is tight. Pete ps the size of the...
