Excellent idea, I know someone who has got lots of chisels :)

Ha ha. Knew I wasn't alone. Hope you got it resolved okay.

No it's not a wind up, and yes I know the answer seems obvious. I'm just peeved that I now have to go out and buy a large bladed screwdriver just for these rads (nobody I know even has one of these). Why an earth couldn't they have used plugs like Barlo rads which are easy as pie to remove...

Hmm, you sure? Suppose could try this on one of them but isn't this likely to knock of a piece of the plug into the rad?

Do you mean tapped from the side/rim of the plug, worried about damaging the rad thread. Is there a correct tool for removing these? thanks

Am I the only one to have problems with these blasted radiators? This is the second Kudox radiator I've fitted and the second to be returned due to the plastic plugs fitted at the factory. They've been fitted so tightly (and sprayt painted) that when I try to use the biggest screwdriver I have...

Okay repaired the leak, a lot of the DIY stores are calling them flush pipe connectors. I got a standard one from Wickes which was a different design to the leaky one I've replaced and instead of a female connection to the toilet bowl it was an internal or male connection.

Is it safe to assume if a rad valve is unidirectional it will be clearly indicated as such.

Thought so. Didn't have a spare lockshield around to put under a tap to check! Okay so when I buy a set of rad valves/lockshields it does not matter which way around I fit them, either can go on feed or return side. Apart from keeping the aesthetics in mind of course (y)

I may regret asking this but what is a bypass and why do you need at least one radiator as a bypass? We do have a combi boiler btw.

Oh I see so that's how it's done :D Well from what I've measured the side panels are 16mm thick. The opening is not quiet 570mm more like 568/569mm using my not so good tape measure so yes the link you provided would I believe fit. Thank you so much for clearing that up (y)

I'm looking to install some pull out storage baskets in the kitchen and to add to existing ones already there. The existing pull out storage trays are installed in a 570mm width cabinet and other cabinets in the kitchen are also 570mm. Having looked online I can't see anywhere that does pull out...

I've looked at the heat output of the larger towel rads and it's well below what say a 600x600 rad can output. For me they their function is to dry off / warm towels up and wouldn't be any good to heat the bathroom up, which is why I'm keeping a small rad as well. Having a warm bathroom also...

I'm planning on adding a towel radiator to our bathroom and also replacing the existing 600x600 radiator. I'm going to be linking up with the existing flow/return feeds for the new radiator & towel rail. When I've fitted radiators before I've noticed that the TRV valves were marked as...

Great, there seems to be a few types so I take my one along to compare. Thanks at least now I know what I'm looking for :)

Please see attached file.. (posting this using my mobile phone is proving a challenge. Trying to attach a photo. When I click on the camera icon it just takes me to the bottom of my message below as if to add more text! Clicking on the picture icon requires a URL. Choosing "upload a file" does...

Yea think I'll go for easyjoint as their messing around with mixing stuff in. That gtfk vdw looks pretty expensive. Thanks

From reading some of the threads on Paving Expert people seem to have had good experiences with Easy Joint, Rompox Easy, and Flowpoint. I've got to regrout over the next month or two my own patio which is about 32sqm. I'm a DIY'er so need something thats going to be fairly easy to use which from...

During the summer I laid a small patio using the above grout and I recently went back to have a look at it only to find I could scratch out the grout using my finger nail. It was wet through though as it had been raining but was well compacted. I dread to think what will happen when the frost...

We will be replacing the electric boiler and fitting a power shower and this will require wiring up the pump for the shower and of course wiring for the new boiler. My question is do I need to get an electrician to do this or can I do it myself and remain within the law?
