Hmm I see. The tank stat is already linked to a valve down with the boiler (along with one valve for lower 2 floors, one for upper two floors and one for the kitchen UFH). the suggestion would be to leave existing value open and install the valves near the tanks (though there isn't much room...

I would get a pro in for that as I wouldn't know how, but cheaper than replacing cylinder. would have been a good idea when the boiler was replaced, but the boiler is in the cellar and the tanks are on the 2nd floor. Wife would not be happy about uprooting the whole house (coil flow/return...

Thanks. We did look into unvented system when we upgraded boiler a couple of years ago (most plumbers said leave the tanks as the are, but the one that suggested new unvented cylinder quoted £16000 :lol: - got the boiler and controls upgraded and relocated for £4000 to which I added wetUFH in...

currently I think the HW Cylinders are both 1050x400 SO to replace and do properly I would need..!? to run 2 bathrooms both with powershowers HW 210L CW 80 Gal to allow for expansion for later additional en-suite HW 250L CW 100Gal (biggest CW tank I can find that might fit into...

Having checked again the tank coils are linked in parallel (flow split to both tanks, outlets join to one return). CE why do you think Left will draw faster (because the connection is closer!?) Its hard so see in photo but there is a sort of double loop, so both top outlets are joined in...

No it's not the way I would do it either, but thats whats there, so unless I spend the time and money to replace the whole thing thats what I've got to work with. The set up was like that when we moved in and has not caused any problems in 4yrs. (same heating loop runs through both tanks and...

Hi Refitting main bathroom and adding power shower (with body jets). Second bathroom (for the kids) already has a powered shower, so am upgrading existing pump to run both rooms (as existing pump is old and noisy anyway). Here is a pic. Fitting new salamander ESP 100 and they state...

Thanks all. Thats what I thought. I will strip out all existing pipes and re plumb in weld. New post coming up about shower pumps....

HI I am creating wet room and wondered if anyone had thoughts on best type of drainage (for bath & shower) when later access will be denied (tiled floor and walls). never used weld before, but I wondered if pushfit/compression are up to the job then permanently beyond reach. the reason I...

I know this is an old thread but has my sceanario exactly. What I want to know is what would be the real risks of not completing the VB round the purling. i.e VB across ceiling and up the slope to the back of the cross beam, but not round it, as I don't want to plaster over it, but leave it...

OK sorted out points 1 and 3, anyone want to comment on point 2 whats the best way to insulate the vertical wall section in my new cold loft. I take it just slapping poystyrene sheet on the loft (cold) side of the wall might induce condensation/moldbetween it and the wall. anyone!?

read the sticky but have a couple of questions to avoid condensation, putting false ceiling across top of vaulted ceiling at purlin level (existing ceiling is still lathe and plaster - no roof felt over) 1. Using foilbacked plasterboard - is it ok to fit sheet polystyrene between and over...

All other functions seem to work but drum does not move on any setting. I have inspected the brushes and there is about 20mm left on them (enough for them to still press on the commutator, which does not appear too worn) Any hints on where to start trouble shooting. I have the motor off...

I have got 150 semi flex duct and as advised used a 152mm core drill to make a suitable hole. Can I get it through,.. no. I have streched it out and tried twisting in the direction of the sprial but it just folds. I tried the end cap in the hole and it just fits, so I can't see how it...

I am having new cooker point(s) fitted by a niceic approved fitter, but I am abit doubtful about his willingness to do a proper job. There is an existing 32A circuit. to which he is going to load (via split fused boxes) a 7.2kw induction hob (de dietrich DTI853x,states 32a fuse), a combi oven...

I have found that my downstairs WC has a false Pboard ceiling about 2' below original c1900 lathe+plaster ceiling. There has been a vent brick added to the void. Why is this any different to a normal 1st floor/ceiling void to require ventialtion and as I would like to keep my house warm can...

HI I just lifted some floor in a C1900 house to measure up for wet 'underfloor heating and a gale is roaring through. Kitchen floor with T+G boards and under a cellar (with lathe +plaster ceiling) that has been tanked (with large bubble sheet). Looked outside and there appears to be a...
