I reckon its a kind of trick question where we are expected to draw on our limited knowledge and common sense rather than blindly copy it out of the books and immediately forget it like I do with all the other quiestions Anyway thanks oilman

Is it an electric shower or a power shower?

Do any of you oil professionals know what the procedure is? I have to write this as answer for my homework and I can't find it in BS5410 or any of my textbooks Thanks

Ignore anything i say. I can't work out what the shaft being below the horizontal plane or in the vertical plane on horizontal pipework looks like.

I think that means that the pump is set horizontally. I think its vertical when the flow pipe is on the side going up or down

are the pipes secured with enough clips against the walls? If the pipes are rattling against the floorboards put felt or soft material pieces between them and the floorboards.

is the pump vertically up or vertically down? One of those two positoins would require an air separator. I think its the pump going down. Pump going vertically up is fine I think.

some new style WC syphon tubes can be changed without having to unscrew pipework. I havent touched one myself so i don't know how they work. The traditional ones can only be changed by 1) turning off the water supply to the WC 2) flushing the toilet then getting the rest of the water in...

it could be water hammer caused by the float opeated valve bouncing on ripples on the water as the fresh water comes into the tank. One way of stopping the noise is to hang a tiny little bucket on the arm which then fills with water and stops the valve bouncing so much. Apparently metal float...

It sounds like the diaphragm in the syphon needs replacing.

does your flow pipe go into one end of the radiator and come out the other end and same again with all the radiators or is there a main flow pipe with branches off to the inlet valve for all the radiators and branches off the outlet valve to a main return pipe? The first is the onepipe system...

sorry i wrote that last post before I realized that there were three more pages of chemistry. And I thought plumbing was just turning things with a spanner.

If you think hydrogen is building up in your system isn't it dangerous to use the system at all until it has been tested by professionals?

my first experience with removing a toilet resulted in blobs of faeces on my friend's beige carpet. Fortunately faeces carpet doesn't stain carpet if you wash and rub it quickly enough. Red faeces all round!

Where am I coming from? I'm not sure I know myself. Is your pipework the two pipe system?

has the nicer one got valves?

Perhaps its best not to do that when the hot water is hot

if the proper retail price is around 1100 then is the inttial poster incorrect in saying that he saw the boiler priced for 575 plus vat? I don't understand the huge discrepancy between the two figures mentioned

what do the buildings reg say about it anyway?

Seeing as no-one has replied to you I thought I'd reply. It seems quite a reasonable idea to me. Your towel rail is just like a big return pipe anyway isn't it. Anyone else see why putting the towel rail on parallel with the return would cause a problem?
