One of these is exactly what you need. Just make sure you put plenty of lube on the rubber fins and inside the cast iron pipe (might want to get some latex gloves). https://mcalpineplumbing.com/plastic-chrome-fittings/drain-connectors-boss-connectors-roof-flashing/dc1-blc-drain-connector Then...

I use a company called UFHNow and they are great. They will send out a rep to meet you on site and go over your requirements and advise you on the best system to suit. They will make sure that all little bits and peices are included in their quote so you don’t have to worry about overlooking...

I didn't say he should do it free of charge

DP is right. There is air trapped in a dead leg of one of your hot pipes where the installer has capped it instead of cutting it back as he should have. When you run the cold, the pressure in the hot pipe is dropping allowing the air to push back down the pipe and when you turn the cold off it...

Morning All, I'm trying to cut 2 branches into a 65mm (2.5") LCC cast iron down pipe but I am working to 2 fixed points. Does anyone know where I might get a cast iron slip coupling to help me out. I know I could use a flex seal but it is all in show and the company we are doing the work for...

On the other hand I'm a competent professional as defined by the HSE who's advice would you take more notice of? *whose

I thought you said their flue was 140mm from yours. Did you mean 1400mm? Essentially an extract fan is an opening in the fabric of the building so in my opinion it should be 300mm minimum to your neighbors flue. As Doggit says, you could call Gas Safe to come out and comment on, but it looks...

Either chase them round the back of the cables, or double skin the whole wall so you can lose them in the build up of the 2 plasterboards.

Thanks for reply Hugh. I think your suspicions are right. The cistern is quite far from the urinals and the pipework runs horizontally for a period. We were very limited for space and had to put cistern up in loft space as customer didn't want it on show above urinals. Looks like he'll have to...

Morning All, I have recently fitted a couple of urinals fed by a cistern in the loft space above. The cistern is fed by a basic petcock. However, the siphon never actually flushes, the cistern just keeps filling and eventually just starts to run down the overflow. I have tried changing the...

Is it possible that you've accidentally teed both feeds from the flow or both from the return? Unlikely but I've heard of it done before and that would explain water at rad but no circulation.

It doesn't even mention a fire

Thanks guys. I couldn't agree more that it's risky business and a new boiler would be way more efficient. However there is a major issue with fitting a new boiler as an acceptable flue termination is almost impossible. Client has asked me to advise. My advice will be either try everything to get...

Hi guys, Can anyone tell me if it is possible to do convert an open vented system currently fitted with a Potterton Kingfisher 2? If so, I know how to do it, and the risks involved. I just wanted to know if it's feasible as I know that there are certain parameters on sealing systems with...

False economy. Just buy a decent one.

http://www.twsuk.com/phone/products.php Just fitted one of these in a property, worked great. TWS were really helpful too, give them a ring for advice on sizing etc.

Whoever agreed to the banks additional charges within the terms and conditions of the loan/overdraft will pay it. If somebody has taken on a contract which can be so hugely affected by weather and has not made prior plans and arrangements for such a situation then they're an idiot.

Just go and buy a 15mm stopcock. They're about a fiver

So the Polyplumb UFH room stats would just open/close the actuators and run the pump on the manifold but not fire the boiler. And the VR81 would just need to be set to a relatively high temperature to essentially keep the boiler firing? And there would be no need for the UFH controls to have...

Thanks Hossacd. The problem is that the UFH covers around 90 square metres and is split into 4 zones which all must be controlled separately under their own stats. I think just using 1 x VR81 to try and gauge the whole area would be a bit of a stretch. Picasso, Dan. You're not wrong about...
