Hello. Interesting replies. Yeah I know my measurements arent quite correct. As for using oval conduit, no thanks. It's not big enough and would have to run multiple tubes. I don't need to run hdmi. I need to run satellite cables, tv cable, networking cables and possibly power. Yes I...

Hello, Not sure this is the right forum, but I'm wanting to know some info on channeling into a wall to run conduit... Basically I want to put 2 25mm plastic conduit tubes in a wall so I can run cables from my lounge into the loft. I have already installed the back box. Is it ok to cut a...

I forgot to say, I want to then plaster over the conduit so the cables and conduit cannot be seen. Then if I want to pull some more cables in for future upgrades it should be easy!

Hello, Not sure this is the right forum, but I'm wanting to know some info on channeling into a wall to run conduit... Basically I want to put 2 20mm plastic conduit tubes in a wall so I can run cables from my lounge into the loft. I have already installed the back box. Is it ok to cut a...

Ok, quality! I've moved the thermostat down. I found an installation manual for the thermostat I have and as you guys correctly say it should be between 1/4 and 1/3 up from the bottom of the cylinder. Turning up the water temp sort of worked but trying to control the shower became more...

spot on dan, thanks. didnt want to butcher my plumbing and it make no difference!

yeah these things are brilliant. soo much better than standard float valves.

the tank is heated by a boiler. the cylinder is insulated. the cylinder is hot. the thermostat on the cylinder is set to approx 60 degC. I have adjusted it and this does alter the water temperature quite a lot. when the shower or bath is running yes the boiler switches on no problem...

Tony, when you move into a place first of all with no shower, to another place with a 6kw electric shower which kepps cutting out, to another electric shower that has an appauling flowrate in winter, its nice when you buy a house to have some luxury!

Ok, Can you help me a little more as im not sure what moving my stat will do? Am i right in thinking if my hot water is selected to 'constant' and everythings heated up as expected, if i tried to fill the bath purely on hot water i would only get 96 lts (ish) of hot water as thats all my...

Hey, After installing a pump to supply my hot water around my house and the shower i ordered a Surrey Flange which ive just read and would like some advice. I bought this... http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/421901 Basically i have a vented gravity fed system, so my hot water feed comes...

As for the central heating system I've left the water on 'constant' and tried what you have suggested with the same results! I can get the shower to last longer by turning up the hot water cylinder thermostat to a higher temperature so I only have to 'crack open' then hot water valve on the...

Right the hot water cylinder thermostat is 14" up from the bottom of the cylinder (that's to the centre of it). I think my bath is around 170 lts. I might have to double check that though! The water stays at a constant temperature when I shower for about 10-15 minutes, but depends on where...

Hi, Right I've got a question that I thought was obvious but after doing a search on here and a bit of reading I'm now not too sure. I have a gravity fed system with a 96 ltr indirect hot water tank. When we moved into our house I fitted a bath and pumped shower. Whenever we fill a...

I've recently pumped my shower using a 2bar dual pump. The ppmis situated in the airing cupboard on the floor and is plumbed in 22mm. Originally I had a shower which adapted to 15mm through a thermostatic mixer. The pressure was pretty good and was impressed. Anyway I decided to fit a bath...

Also with these installed I can rotate the assembly. Is this correct? I thoughtit would be fixes vertically? I've re read the instructions etc and checked the float valves, everything looks ok and seems clipped in ok!

I've just fitted two of these to my cold water tanks. They leak the same as you describe.

thanks for your reply. i had the system running beautifully the other day. It was working a treat. Ive kept bleeding where neccessary and its calmed things down until this morning when the hot water came back on again...it started gurgling. I re-bled and again more air came out and has...

It's open vent. I've continued to bleed the system all day. Am still finding air coming out, but seems to be calming down. Inhibitor is in, vents all ok, valves all ok. Can anyone help me with what the thermostats should be set to? Like I said earlier my hot water cylinder is set to 60 deg...

hey! thanks for the replies. bled the pump, all is ok. did some more bleeding of things this morning and then performed a little test. The central heating for the radiators is working beautifully now. Its practically silent. Now just put the hot water on and its a little noisey, but...
