Are you talking about a china clay inset (i.e you cut a hole in counter top and the top lip sits over the worktop to seal) type? If so this is not what I would term a Belfast type. If it is the former, buy the best centre punch you can find, and be brave. Some instructions should have...

Aha!!! We found it... SO, is the boiler running again? (we need/like to know) DH

Another possible place for the filling loop to be located may be close to your Hot-water cylinder... still looking for that silvered flexible hose. More photo's please DH

Sir, you have a 'system boiler' it may say Megaflow on the front of the casing, and as said the water pressure may need to be raised. (there is a pressure gauge on the front of the boiler, around 30mm diameter with a needle pointing to it's reading, could you post a picture of this in its...

four pages on making a compression joint... JetBlue from PlumbCenter. A light smear only. What I have found over the years is a perfect dry joint is OK, until, I have to 'wiggle' that joint to say, cut a tee piece in..., same with PTFE over the olive. OK until. Just my experience, DH

Dearest Bacho, given that you work for the 'free boiler scheme', and are asking us GSR 'experts' ;) to identify them for you... Its a bit cheeky ain't it? That scheme has led to all sorts of shenanigans (esp for us Indie's - who can of course not compete against a free one), and to rub it...

Short answer. STOP. NO! Longer answer, the flue is an absolutely crucial safety feature of the Boiler, only (in this case) Worcester badged flue components can be used in strict accordance with the installation instructions for both boiler and flue. Seriously, damage may be caused to the...

X-ray specs. ;) (let me know if you can find any) Or hire an infra-red camera to trace heat when system is on. DH

Air trapped in the system can/will give problems, a) potential for airlocks in high spots giving circulation issues (reduced in sealed systems) b) aiding corrosion process/oxidisation of metal surfaces. So, yes remove the legs if at all possible, if not, make sure they are full of water by...

What's wrong with 'snatching' the joints live?.... :twisted: have had to before, it was not pretty. Or if absolutely desperate freeze the so&so. DH

I use an Excel Spreadsheet, one long page for Income, all the details, amount, method of payment (Cash/Cheque/Visa/Paypal/BACS etc), Job address, invoice number etc. Another long one for expenditure inc VAT elements. Use ∑ to total columns, copy & paste for quarterly VAT return, and...

Ref Top hat washers. This 'Registered Plumber' uses them on Basin, Bath and Kit Sink (pillar type, not mono bloc) taps, saves a whole load of aggro, keeps the brass back nuts (use them as well, placcy ones are carp) under compression, so always held tight on the threads. DH

I would follow the advice of the installer and see how he/she would like to play it.... would you like to be told " I looked on the internet and it said to...."? DH

Do I read that the 'Canister' (actually an Air Separator or Aerjec) is/was definitely blocked? You could try placing a magnet on it, (a fridge type will do, not one of those 'Tom&Jerry ACME cartoon types), if it is attracted to it, and copper is NOT a magnetic material, it would indicate...

Dearest Jason, Assuming (and from your opening post I have my doubts..... ) you have full 'G3' accreditation, your course notes/manufacturers installation instructions will tell you all you need to know. BTW, with which body will you be registering this new install for Building Regulations...

Regrettably it closed after 20 or so months in nov 86:( Due to a combination of poor management, the seige by the goverment of Laser&Caroline strangling fuel/food/water/staff movements( tory government then as well, funny how they claim freedom as a motto!), bad weather, and allegdely sabotage...

Laser 558. Nuff Said. DH (hours of it on my iPhone for long journeys....)

but, you are then relying on the integral bypass to allow residual heat to dissipate.... Not certain that's the best solution, if desperate, remove pipe connections from valves and fit a coil 22mm speed fit or similar pipe to flow&returns, fill that and it will act a decent sized radiator to...

I suspect that, as we are probably the only member state to vote on a weekday, although votes have been collated,but not counted, no declaration is allowed until the other states (who vote on a sunday, typically) have had theirs counted -electronically probably. Just a thought. Do different...
