You did remember to change for BST didnt you? :)

Hello, I need to replace a shower valve at a customers house. It is a meynell shower which i believe is the trade range for MIra The centres are 110mm (Exposed) Cant seem to find on any searches Anyone know of a model number? Thanks

Recently called out to a Banner Homes flat where all visible pipe work was copper. Everything else was plastic. C H System was losing pressure and a stain appeared in the lounge I very neatly removed a corner piece of POSH coving to find a rodent had eaten through the side of a push-fit elbow :(

If its got worse it points to something slowly blocking it. Is there any filters in the supply?

Cutting a plastic overflow pipe as in the picture is normal isnt it? Coz they are universal in most cases. Some have an o`ring at the bath waste end too (as well as overflow at top of bath)

Thats generous being that the retail cost is about £200 +vat for the part :( And gas suppliers here sell for around £160 + vat

Anyone know of a power shower 8.5kw with the inlet at the top left of the casing? Old unit is triton 80 something that looks very old. All the ones ive ever done are bottom right side altering pipe not an option coz no 30yr old patterned tiles left over. I cant even raise the shower and...

If you live in a hard water area and dont have a softner it will be coated in hard limescale and lead wont even touch the water :)

Replaced the temp/pressure relief valve today (10 bar) The old type with the bent "finger" (22mm out,3/4 thread into cylinder) has been replaced with the later type ,and a 1/2" to 3/4" bush (with 15mm outlet).Genuine Heatrae sadia part Just to let you know :)

Yes if the pipes are tight against wood this will create an expansion noise. Sentinell is the stuff added probably. I have loads of those plastic u pieces as many rads come with 6 instead of 4 :) .A nice plumber at the merchants may also have some spare? Just a thought its not a quick banging...

Dont use it and hope its not noticed :) Can you cut a small hole in the ceiling below? probably the easiest repair,ie a piece of plasterboard,a bit of filler/plaster and a coat or 2 of paint. Cant see any way of adding anything into the waste really

Or an airlock

Celafelt (not sure how to spell it) Burying pipes on walls is common on all these new fancy bathrooms,but do have isolation valves somewhere you can get to them at a later date

Fitted many megaflos,an rcl300L solar ultrasteel and my own Vaillant 250L Aurostor or whatever its called (Twin coil solar one). Not qualified but had the occasional visit from my old boss who was supposed to be fitting them :)

I always use a straight edge and sharp stanley knife,dont press too hard,concentrate on where you are cutting not how deep. And dont slip! But hacksaw will do it safer. Dont understand the reconnect part as once its cut thats it

Sounds like air in the pipe still. You will also need to balance the rads to give a little more bias to the new one A couple of air bleeds would certainly help Try running with only that rad on (from that circuit) for a while it may push the air out after a bit

Liverpool isnt hard water area is it?

Would agree microbore much better with valve at each end. power flushing dosnt work overly well with microbore,especially with those valves Sounds a bit costly as said but there may be reasons for that on viewing If power flush is £400 ish that leaves £800 ish to replace valves and run a bit...

To cut off the olive use a hacksaw till nearly through,then use thin flat bladed screwdriver to prise cut olive open. This way you are less likely to harm the pipe If you need to go from 10mm pipe to 15mm valve ,you can get conversion olives that reduce from 15mm to 10mm,these will sit in the...

Sounds ok to me
