Could you post a picture perhaps with a rule or tape measure next to it to give an idea of scale. One of the pro's on here will no doubt be able to identify the fitting.

The end connections may be compression in which case you will need a compression nut and olive. Does it look like this http://www.screwfix.com/prods/15440/Plumbing/Pegler-Brassware/Pegler-Stop-Tap-15mm

Libyan state TV reported that what it called the "crusader enemy" had bombed civilian areas of Tripoli, as well as fuel storage tanks supplying the western city of Misrata. Crusader Enemy! Great, that will kick off the religious extremists :roll: :evil:

At the end of the cycle does the timer knob go to the stop position or is it sticking? I.E when it won't stop spinning can you manually turn the knob to the end cycle position and does it stop? Could be sticky timer. Edited to say-Sorry just had a look at a larger picture on line, it doesn't...

Would agree with Whitespirit, yet another situation we should keep our nose out of. I believe the spirit of revolution must come from within. If the Libyans’ are dissatisfied with their current leadership they should rebel against it. Take a leaf from the Egyptians book, respect to them! If...

If its anything like my Mira Sport there will be a thermal trip on top of the heater. Could be faulty and is replaceable. Have a look at some of the shower spares suppliers online, they show a schematic with parts etc. Always isolate supply and double check with multi meter before working on...

As a last resort, remove the tap (so you don't damage pipework/sink) Find a socket that is slightly smaller than the nut, if the nut is imperial you may find a metric that is slightly smaller and vice versa. Try hammering the socket on to the nut and then use it to remove nut. Its a bit brutish...

Intergas website;- Did you click the 'Technical' tab at the top of the page? This will then show sizes etc.

Many thanks Mehan, I think I'll go for the two 90's it will be well clear of the lintel. Will arrange with sparky to remove the socket (or perhaps reposition for supply) Template includes 10mm clearance each side, was relieved it fitted. Like I say this position is the best choice for shortest...

Bump. Calling Mehran, calling Mehran :) The flue question is the final hurdle to my boiler choice. It will be later this year. Don't fancy switching the heating off just yet :shock: Just to confirm, I am getting a good local RGI to install, but will do water side myself up to tails. (He is...

Is it sited on a suspended floor? Could there be perhaps another connection into the sewer pipe below the floorboards that has come adrift? This happened in my downstairs loo, the sink waste ran under the floor and had popped out. It was very difficult to identify where the smell was coming...

Certainly doesn't seem to be a lot of info on the Honeywell website regarding the 957. Perhaps they've got a warehouse full of older stock to shift first :P

I too am interested in the opentherm idea, Mickyg, could you let me know of the ones that are on the market so I can have a look at them? Thanks

Hi again, If the image has uploaded you will see I have made a template out of some old wallpaper to show the chosen location of the boiler. A few questions; The flue outlet is within the 300mm requirement to the window due to its offset nature and also more importantly is right where the...

Good point I stand corrected. Would it be acceptable as a rough measure of flow rate to open the bath tap fully and put a bucket under it for 15 or 30 seconds, then measure the amount of water in the bucket? Whilst doing this someone could monitor the pressure gauge and see how much it drops...

Have a look at your washing machine, normally they are connected to the water supply with a valve, see http://www.diynot.com/shop/WASHING_MACHINE_VALVE_15_X_3_4_BLUE__RED_HANDLES/6842 If so pop into your local plumbers merchant and get a test gauge, see...

Thanks, I have been looking at 1"fem x 22mm adaptors with the idea of using separate 22mm valves, but all the adaptors seem to be solid (they don't have the loose backnut like the fernox valve) Is there a specific name for the type of fitting with the loose backnut so I can do a search? I...

Hi Transam, the valves reduce down to about 14mm dia. That would be like having a piece of 15mm with reducers soldered into a 22mm header(twice) The filter itself will create resistance so I would like to reduce the overall as much as possible. Yes I am probably being pedantic but for the...

Firstly I am not a professional plumber so I am prepared to be shot down in flames here :cry: I am currently researching a boiler replacement project. This will be sized to include a new shower in the future. I am replacing an aging system boiler with a combi as I believe it suits my needs...

Just taken delivery of a Fernox TF1 filter. The cyclone part etc seem to be the part however the isolating valves are reduced bore not full flow. Seems a shame after planning a system to flow as efficiently as possible only to have a bottleneck at the filter! Firstly could someone confirm the...
