Hi, thanks for the reply. I have obtained the necessary gliders from an online source. My problem now is how to loosen/remove the channel in which the gliders run. The 2 images show the location of the screws holding it in place. I have tried to undo one screw, the first...

The plastic top glides on my door, which was installed about 7 years ago, broke last year. I approached 3 door/window repair companies local to me but all of then said they couldn't obtain replacement parts and a new door was the only solution. I have now found a supplier online of the...

Thanks for the reply. If your opening comment was directed with my posting then no it's not a wind up. The link you gave has shown an RGI in my area, so no problem on that score. However, just for my own understanding can you explain why if the LPG is turned off at the cylinder and the...

I have a propane gas fire which is fed by 15mm copper pipe from an outside cylinder. During some recent DIY work I have unfortuantely punctured the pipe with a small hole. The pipe runs just above the skirting board and is held place with 2 clips so it is also tight against the wall. I...

Thanks for the replies. Previous post I referred to gave length of immersion as 27 inches which is the maximum length Gledhill state for the cylinder. This is why I am confused as to why the level of water being heated doesn't seem right. Immersion as stated on 24/7 so doesn't switch...

I have previously posted about issues with my new hot water cylinder http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=265883&start=0&highlight=&sid=112b33f89e8e1817532ceda479ca7dd3 Firstly the issues was that the safety cutout on the immersion kept tripping out every 4 days or so. Eventually...

Had a discussion with a friend, not a techie, and we wondered if the problem could be because the immersion stat is turning off the immersion heater before it's been able to heat sufficient hot water. Had a problem. posted elsewhere on the form, where the new stat would keep tripping out so...

As stated the dip pipe is pre-installed. The immersion is permanently on so, as with yesterday morning, having just run a small amount of for a shave, there should have been more or less a full tank of water. As for costs,with a litre oil producing 3 Kwh of heat at a cost of about 58.0p...

Hi Shower cold feed from tank Yes, immersion is 27 inch and fitted new with tank Can't answer question as to whether shower feed pipes are fitted with checkvalves. Shower tapping (side outlet) is about 9 inches (228mm) from top of tank. Can't answer if dip pipe is facing down but...

I have recently had a Gledhill Envirofoam Stainless Steel SE 42x16 IND Hot Water Water Cylinder (HWC) installed to replace an aging copper cylinder. With the copper cylinder I had a Surrey Flange, one outlet of which served my main use kitchen-bathroom and the other went across to my...

Thanks for the replies. Just to clarify a few points: No I haven't mistaken 70F for 70C (158 Fahrenheit). at 158F I think I would have noticed the heat in the cupboard and most things in it would have melted (including me) or been dangerous to touch. Tesla (UK) Ltd are a reputable...

Hi Tony Thanks for your reply. Since my original posting I have managed to find the address of the immersion heater/thermostat {Tesla UK Ltd) and I have spoken to them about the problem. Apparently there is now a requirement for all immersion heater thermostats to detect the ambient...

I recently had a Euralloy Titanium 3KW 27inch immersion fitted to my new Gledhill Envirofoam Stainless Steel Hot Water Cylinder. Initially everything worked fine but then after about 3-4 days I found that the thermostat had locked out. Did a reset and it workd fine again for a few days then did...

Task completed......thanks for all the help

Thanks for the info. I have checked the wiring on the programmer again and pin 4 (CH ON) is black with a yellow sleeve so I am assuming it's a switched live. Should I be able to pick this up in the wiring box, would make life easier as it's nearer the thermostat. Just to be sure I...

I have now got the DT200 but vague as to the correct method of connecting to the Horstmann Centaur Plus C27 programmer. I have checked the connections on the programmer by taking of the front plate and these are as follows, reading left to right: N (with clock icon) L 1 (HW OFF) 2...

Thanks for the reply, looks like it will be the DT 200 then.
