Can a thermostatic mixer ever make the shower hose live while you're holding it? Can an electric one? There's my answer. Do you use electric DHW heating too Bamber? If not, why not?

Water will always take the path of least resistance With the bypass fully open you've given it a choice of running round miles of 15mm pipe and all the rads OR about 1ft of pipe direct back to the boiler. I know which option I'd take :D It does need to be open a little otherwise the boiler...

Hi all, Still trying to figure out how best to run my heatbank. My current system is open vent, indirect gravity DHW, pumped CH, no valves. All the rads are run in 15mm stainless and since quite a bit of this is exposed I'd certainly like to re-use this although I'll likely swap the old...

You've fully opened the bypass? With CH only selected do the pipes to the bypass get hot indicating both boiler and pump are running Go round all the TRVs and close them. Fully open a single one (preferably closest to the 3 port valve) . Close the bypass it to see if that forces water...

What type of pump have you already got for the tub? It might be possible to use this to pump a shower too

Turn off the stopcock and see what taps stop :idea: Start with the bath cold tap ;)

Magnaflux must be the most common name/penetrant I've never seen an astracast sink in an aircraft :lol: although we've mostly been involved in mil spec and large commercial stuff. Maybe they fit them to private jets Do you know if there's a shore (or is it slope? Slump? Shear? I can never...

I'll start Hat on backwards No apparent cuppa despite 10minute running time Didn't nip off for a bifta at any point Didn't spend half the time on the mobile booking the next job Failed to disappear for other half of day to attend an emergency callout Toilet seat left down Failed to...

Yes :( I think the admins made a No 27 and special fried rice with it :lol:

Yes, Connected only to mains pressure hot and cold Cheers for the reply RF :D

I've not seen an answer to this as such so here goes.... I've just fitted a normal thermostatic shower mixer. It is the only fixture in the bathroom which is not connected with Cu (or stainless for the radiator) pipework as I used plastic where the H&C are chased into the wall. This means...

Good god What are you people planning to install in your homes that will need gigabit in every room? Sure it makes sense for backbone links between switches but what is the point of gigabit connections to individual outlets? Unless you're planning switches in each room this is totally OTT...

Check the pressure and flowrate at the kitchen tap. If it's good then a combi might be the way forward

Mostly for the bath ;) With older or smaller combis flow rates are not good. Often well less than 10 l per min. This means filling a bath takes ages. My friends moved into a place with an old ideal combi (oh woe are they). It takes a good 10 mins to fill the bath, although bath is a GBFO...

No I epoxied the elbows to the wall as well as 3 screws per The fittings are just ordinary compression with olives and inserts for the pipe

I too looked long and hard for a solution to this one. My downstairs S trap loo had a clay pipe, 10" from wall to centre with a 6" collar Nothing was going to fit :( I ended up boxing the whole back wall of the loo, installing a BTW pan and eventually plumbed in a little hand basin on the...

I've just done /doing mine and had the same thing. The problem I had was that the bathroom wall is circa 1680mm so a "standard" 1700 bath meant channeling just to make it fit. There was not much hope of making it fit with aquapanel dotted and dabbed :( I'm a DIYer so my method is by no means...

I had the water off today finishing the plumbing in my new bathroom. Stoopidly I forgot about this and when I came to flush the porcelain telephone a second time nothing happened obviously. In the process I did push the button 2 or three times before the brain kicked in Anyhoo, turned water...

PILLAR MOUNT TAPS HERE (many other available, it's just an example) That way when the tap breaks or better half takes a dislike you just undo two nuts to remove it from above :D It seems more and more manufacturers are heading down this path - it's pretty standard in Europe AND it allows...

Surely the guarantee is valid from the comissioning date on the benchmark certificate? You do have all of that paperwork don't you? I'm kinda wondering how the CORGI guy was able to correctly comission and fill in the benchmark forms if the boiler won't run? If he hasn't produced all...
