Dependant on the boiler jig, and if you are just flushing with mains water, you could cap off the return on the jig and use the filling loop, if fitted to the pipe and adapt to accept a hose on the flow connection of the jig to drain out. You could possibly power flush via the jig F&R...

Water under pressure has a higher boiling point, so if all of your safety devices are not checked and fail, or you have a high temperature leak to atmosphere, you risk blowing yourself up. Water expands 1,600 times when turned to steam. If your cylinder flashed to steam, you stand to have the...

I dont think I would trust the lead to stay intact after swinging off a spanner. This might help you. http://www.philmac.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Utc_3G_tech_manual_METRIC-IMPERIAL_email_version.pdf

Showing off..! Two Magnacleans were used on a powerflush today. One on the flush unit and one installed on the return to the boiler before the flush. The boiler is an old Orion 40 BF. Initially, a boiler swap was suggested by another installer(?), without a flush and without allowing for a...

If you complete the RIDDOR form online, you can print it off and post copies. Name the sales agent as the 'responsible person' and the HSE will contact them, in turn, to chase the report and seek rectification.

BournemouthPlumber is spot on. Salamander do there own flange too, as it happens, for about £25.

No, it wont, but he will make his money from repairing leaking 'O' rings :lol:

Id guess if you remove the tap body, you will find that the washer is worn and flat. which lets the spindle wind down further than it should. That exposes too much of the spindle 'O'ring and lets water get into the spindle and trapped behind the 'O' ring when you open the tap. You can not...

How many times have you caught your ankle on that?, or the hoover? Loosen the centre screw, relieve the pressure catching the water, once it runs slip a hose on the end. Practice putting the hose on before you open the valve and run the hose into a bucket before it goes down a drain, incase...

You asked for that :lol: A white one? A Baxi platinum comes with 5 year parts and labour warranty. Costs vary, between installers due to trade discounts, and %ages added; but if you look at boilers online and find a cheap price, don't forget to add in the cost of the flue, time clock...

Yes. And as Picasso has previously said, Yes, it is acceptable. A dead leg would be more termed if the pipe was a dead pipe, with no down stream outlet and the no flow. The water could then stagnate and as fresh water flowed passed the tee connection, would pick up bacteria and be...

Be careful doing this, and dont leave like this for a long period of time, and for no more than it takes for the paint to dry. Fill your system, if not already, pressurise the boiler, shut off the flow and return valves under the boiler, drain the system and the boiler should remain...

A restricted hot water heat exchanger would reduce the flow and heat transfer through the primary pipe work and HE of the boiler, causing an overheat problem.

Ive just googled BS8000 for you, to see if it was online and this was on Speedfits website... Im guessing you are using plastic pipe. Concrete And Masonry Speedfit pipe and fittings can be laid in concrete and masonry providing they are installed in conduit pipe with access boxes for the...

Theres probably more risk of the floor being weak with all the sponge and insulation under it :wink: Water regs 2.7, which you have and BS8000 Part 15, which you may not have. Hope that helps.

Bwahaaaaa :P :lol: My fathers generation left me asbestos to deal with.... Im leaving my son plastic fittings to deal with; is how I look at it.

A ducted pipe allows for movement of that pipe by either expansion, contraction, vibration, pressure or hammer effects. It is not only so you can pull it out for replacing. It also protects the pipe against contamination, stress and heat loss through the cold slab of the floor, along with...

The secondary return just returns water from the furthest outlet and circulates it back to the cylinder, with reheated water going back to the furthest outlet and back again. You need to use a bronze pump for this, and the pump can be run on a timer for peak times. With the the floor ducts...

How many times has the system been flushed with a chemical flushing unit, with all valves open initially, the pipe work flushed, the radiators flushed individually in both directions, the vent and tank outlet connected together, the F&E tank cleaned, the motorised valves manually opened, and...
