Sorry but how are your questions helping me with what I asked ? That's a reply to Transams post

Hi thanks for the reply. The only indication of type on the instructions is one of the following: 27 469 or 27 569 other than this I have no idea. Wondering why these s unions are used at all as they seem to be a complete pain in the rear :)

Hmmm 53 people have read my post but as yet no one knows how to help? Guess all the plumbers are watching the tv then :)

Thanks for the reply but this wont work as the s unions are needed to tighten the covers to hide them, the nut fits inside and is held in place by lugs so you can tighten the cover down. I just need to know what to use to seal the 15mm end of the union to the female of the compression fitting.

Hi all :) I am in the process of fitting the Grohe rainshower system. With reference to the "S" unions supplied on the kit I understand that the 22mm end of this goes into the shower valve unit but cant see how you can attach a 15mm pipe with olive and compression nut to the 15mm end as...

Ah well 60 odd views and one reply , I guess all the sparks are on holiday. Thanks for the one reply I did get

Correct me if im wrong here? So essentially I would be switching the transformer on and off and hence the lights, using the light switch which is interrupting the flow of power from the fused spur?

Damp can be a right sod to sort out but .... maybe this could be whats happening. Normally with a DPC injection solution to the problem the plaster is hacked off in the affected area to a height of 1 metre minimum. Then the DPC is injected and a tanking slurry applied. At this point you do...

Being a damned good chippy myself as well as running my own building business in my opinion the chippy is a ****** !! Before fitting skirting check for wire dropd and if microbore is present then use a detector if you have to pin the board. To be honest if you use good materials theres not...

erm correct me if im wrong here but I always thought the absolute minimum for a concrete footing is 225mm? and am I right in saying you have clay soil too !!!!

Hi all, Can the following be done? I have a 3g light plate in the kitchen of which 1g is not used. I want to use this spare to switch the plinth lights on and off but realize there is no neutral here so would the following work ? ... Fused spur off the kitchen ring main to a suitable...

Thankyou DP for the info but in the interim I have done all you suggest. Methodically checking each connection and power supply - As suspected the wiring, although a damned mess, is all ok . The pump, on inspection from the guy I use to do all my gas and heating, agreed it required changing and...

the pump was neraly 30 years old and was at fault and needed replacing but as with quite alot of systems there is quite often an additional fault compounding the problem. By trade i am a builder and lets hope if you have a problem with building or structure you dont get a reply like i did. I...

Thanks for the useful reply agile !! not really helpful at all was it and prob from someone who cant help anyway through lack of knowledge and understanding but to answer the prior question from someone much more useful - no when i call for heat from the wall stat by turning it up absolutely...

when i turn up the stat on the wall to call for heat nothing happens. There appears to be no power to the live going into the pump so im wondering if it may be the wall stat as i understand it will still "click" when you turn the dial even if it is faulty ? Everything was working fine then...

lever on mot valve slid over to manual, wall stat turned up and nothing, no sound from boiler and no life in the pump. When i first opened the vaves , top and bottom to the new pump it all sounded fine and heat started to come into the rad pipes but then the whole thing just gave up . to be...

this is a brand new pump ive just fitted though im wondering if there isnt something else adrift here too, but never the less i will pop a plug on and i assume the pump will only run if the wall stat calls for heat ?

so just plug the pump into the mains via a socket?

Hi all, Central heating just stopped on me, gave the pump a gentle tap and it kicked in but only for a short while. Its a grundfoss ups 15 50 which i replace for new as its been in since 1986. Opened up the valves, unscrewed the big central nut to let out any air and it seemed to be making...

Sorry for the late reply and thanks to all who posted. There is no plan, no specification or drawings and yes i know you think im crazy but it is a well paying contract. I have pointed out all the drawbacks to her request and have also stated I will not be accepting liability if the...
