check the intergrety of the blue plastic hose. If this is not kinked anywhere, then you need a new washer in your tap.

Air pressure switch making?

top hat washers perhaps?

yep

second that

I find the easiest way is to measure your panel height and mark that on the back wall the bath is to sit against. Level it all the way around and fix 2x1 1/2 cls to the walls - bearing in mind the top edge of your timbers will sit on your pencil mark . Drop your bath onto the timber runnners...

Just an update for anyone who might be interested. Turriff finished the new gas line on friday, and the meter guy was on site today. Got chatting to him and he reckons the gas meter had been moved illegally aswell, no evidence to prove it was illegall however as they had no records for that...

yeah i know you are right, and im sure he will see sense in the end, just can't be arsed with irrate customers, when really the job is being carried out as it should be.

you mean when you were pumping up the expansion vessel the pressure gauge on the boiler was moving yes? if this is the case then it is the expansion vessel thats knackered.

when you open the valve on the vessel do u get water out? if not much more likely prv is problem. This is assuming that there is a water coming gout he discharge pipework!

b u g g e r. looks like my head is on a plate the morrow. Will be avoiding him like the plage when he has his drills going!

No no no, not as serious a problems as that. I didn't word the first post very well. Basicly, what drew my attenion to it was the gas pipework feeding the meter was 15mm copper, which I thought was undersized, although was getting 32 mbar standing at meter ( when the first turriff guy came...

Found this one a little strange and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it. Started a new job yesterday, spanking new htg system in a first floor flat. Was just scoping it out to see where i was going to run my pipes when i came across 15mm into the meter before the ECV. Strange...

yep the loft would be my first option to site the boiler. On the wall, flue straight out, blow-off straight out, hopefully catch onto a drain for the condense on the external wall. Easy peasy!

yes, it turns anticlockwise to lift the valve off the seating then you will feel it click back down into place when its gone past its full travel.

I usually fit mixers 1100 off the floor, slightly higher if your having yours over a bath. Bear in mind however, the shower requires positive head from your water supplies in order to function. If you don't have this then a pump will have to be fitted. If you do have enough positive head...

If not the filling loop, most obv is a spilt plate heat exchanger. Probably about £80-£100 for the part, if you have a fair level of DIY skill u should be able to tackle it yourself, but if not it will costing you a few quid to get it someone in to sort it.

And yes microbore will be fine will this system. It would be a good idea to get the system flushed before modifing aswell, so you dont bung up your new gear with slugdy water.

vented systems are a bit old hat now, plus a vented cyclinder would mean u would lose the advantage of high pressure HW which you have now. Probs be better off with a system boiler and unvented cyclinder.

so the boiler doesn't light when hw is opened? faulty flow switch most likely. wont be the diverter valve as the boiler would light when hw is demanded, but you wouldnt get and hw thru. think you were right in your first post, i didnt read it properly!
