Basin wastes 32mm. Use a whole saw. Gradually get lower in the joists.

Is the extended warranty worth it? Or do I have to jump through hoops to get a successful claim that far down the line?

My favourite would be valiant as I have now but they don't have one that is powerful enough. I'll look into the Baxi platinum.

are they considerably better? The appear slightly less efficient. Would I be better aiding brand completely?

Hello, I posted a couple of threads on this before and had some help on here. I have now purchased a Unvented water cylinder thats sat in the cellar. It has a high recovery 32kw coil and 400l capacity so shouldn't ever have an issue there. My heating requirements for the house are...

I'm pretty sure they don't. But this would do the trick. http://www.salus-tech.com/products/thermostat/it500/ Around £200.

Also how do you plan to retrofit it upstairs? I'd look at electric or not bother to be honest.

That seems like a good idea. I wish there were some intelligent controls which would allow you to use a combi in conjunction with a cylinder. I have also though, would I be better using 2 boilers. One in the cellar next to the cylinder, and a second in the utility.

Sorry 1/3 cold water is what was meant.

Hello, Yes, i'd say approx 1/3 hot water. This means around 250 litres approx hot water. It is 2 person. Only normally use for 1 or the kids. It is actually 460 litres to just below the overflow. So you would need approx 400 litres to be full. I don't want to leave the rest of the house...

dcawkwell; I didn't really think about 2 combi's. How would you go about the balancing of them though. Fitment might be an issue though. And still i'd be looking around 24litres per minute hot water even with a fairly large combi.

Hello, I can make that fit and did have that as my first option. However reading the literature it says it only actually stores 120litres of hot water and has a reheat time of 10 minutes. Hence the name 170sxi (I think) as it gives 170litres at 30lpm approx. This certainly wouldn't be...

Hello, I have a 4 bed 2 bathroom house. However have a very large bath, 400litres. And 2 large showers. Only 16 rads, 2 towel rails. Most of the house has aircon which also heats when required (and is arguably more efficient) I have a static pressure of 3.5bar. And a flow rate of around...

I'll take a pic tomorrow but I think thats the best way anyway to be honest as I don't want any movement. Thanks.

Hello, I've got an ABS stone resin shower tray. From what I've read about stone resin trays they need to go on cement. However this has about 9 "boss's" to receive legs, and can be raised off the floor. Assuming cement for this is overkill. What would you bed it on? It has "feet" probably...

When I did similar I used expanding foam, but I wasn't keeping the beams exposed so it didn't matter if I got it on them. And your right it made a mess. The other option is normal insulation packed in there... But this will make a mess of your arms. How big are the gaps?

What if your moving house? Need a stanley knife to work? Want to dispose of it? Etc etc Adding guns onto our streets would be a bad move. We have lots of issues, I don't think the gun/knife area is policed too badly tbh.

Hello, Thanks for your input, what is the reason behind it? The floor at the moment is cold. The floor downstairs is warm. Thats my only reason. Is UFH less effective than it would be over concrete? Or do you mean the tiles aren't as cold? Thanks for your honest advice either way...

Thats actually very true. I am by nature a little of a perfectionist, and my eye is always drawn to the bits I'm not happy with. When most others wouldn't even notice it. I'm a keen believer in doing things right from the start, and not been afraid to ask for advice.

The threads aren't really designed to seal so I doubt there will be. If there was you'd need a rubber seal or PTFE or some similar sealant. You might find a simple nut or something. What are you trying to do? Surely there is a better way?
