Hoping not to need a pump as I have a 3.8m head. I need to run a cold gravity feed, and a more direct hot feed to my new mixer shower I will purchase. I've not chosen the valve yet but keen to get the pipes laid. I will have to run a new cold feed from the header tank. The hot I will...

I didn't think it should be possible for all the reasons suggested regarding corrosion but had read posts of poeple doing it. As far as the heat output from them. This is my primary concern I realise they are meant to dry towels and little else. Mine will not be used to warm the towels but...

Yeah electric towel rail it is No way am I ripping it all out!

Easy then. Thanks

That's what I had thought, but when I started looking there was evidence to say it had be done. If I had a boiler in my system could it be legal? Back to the FSU as originally planned.. Thanks for your quick response

Hi, I've read a lot of posts and other internet sites on this to try and confirm if this is acceptable or not. But seem to find a lot of conflicting information. At present I have a open vented system with an immersion heated tank. I have no rads in the house as the boiler is warm air...

Cheers calorific, When running the new pipes is it worth running 22mm for HW and 15mm for cold. Both will be independent feeds from stored water in a gravity system. Just the mixer shower I think I will end up with requires 15mm connections so the 22mm will be reduced at that the valve...

Yeah I have pipe bender rather than elbows, but I was more concerned about the overhanging pipe that is unprotected (without the 3mm plate) for the few inches before it goes down again. It is a retro fit yes. Is there nothing that says they need to be a certain distance from the floorboard...

Hi, I need to run a pair of feeds for my hot and cold water supply to a new shower. The best plan of attack I see is to notch out the joists that it will run perpendicular with and then run the remaining distance parallel with the joists. I've looked at notch limits and such, and also...

I could tee off the cold return and get a gravity fed cold, and tee of the hot for a true gravity fed system. Was thinking I could put a washing machine fit on the pipes so I can test with a pressure guage

Ah, yeah it is definitely mains cold water I've checked the pipes again. Straight across to the downstairs, then up to the bathroom and from there up to the header tank on 15mm with a 22mm return to the tank. Looking at the Trevi system I'd need to run 22mm pipe off the tank before it tee's...

In order to achieve this then do I need two independant feeds off the tank, or simply another 15mm tee from the 22mm before it tees for the downstairs WC and basin?

Hi, I have to build a stud wall that will adjoin to existing block work in my house. The Stud wall I will simply board up, at present the block work has a layer of plaster and skim on it. What would a plaster like to see to then make the wall appear as one? Would it be best to remove...

Hi, I want to add a shower into my downstairs cloakroom. Presently I have a storage tank for the hot water in the house and mains cold supply. The image shows my system as it stands, and the proposed shower extension. At present the whole system bar the HW bath tap (22mm) runs in 15mm...

Yeah, I was taking those for granted obviously not being involved in the switch conversation..

Cheers guys. Yeah they both will have integral switches so I'll just the live from the loop in the ceiling rose Cheers

Hi, I am looking to put a couple of switched lights in my bedroom. A rocker style over the bed and a ceiling pull cord in the fitted wardrobe. Is there anything in the regs that state this should operate from a switched live as well as their own integral switch? For the purpose of their...

Yep and all super smooth.. Said this room was much easier as it was bare plaster, so something up with the paint I guess
