    Is this plumbing set up right?

    Edit - I should have worked this out before. That black plastic pipe is your overflow and should connect on your sink outlet (the black bit your washing machine you say was connected to). Then connect waste from wash machine to the white plastic adapter your overflow is currently connected to.

    Shower Recommendations - Combi

    I like the Moretti on offer in Screwfix, pressure balancing and it looks decent enough. Always lunns.net for spares.

    venturi or single pump

    Shower Pump will need its own cold water supply from 'cold storage tank' and its own hot supply from cylinder. I wouldn't recommend doing it any other way. If your cold water main is 3bar or above then you'll need to fit a prv for a venturi shower. Yep :D I think you need to decide...

    New Vailant boiler fitted - Should I replace old radiators?

    After flushing the rads you could fit a TF1 or Magnaclean filter on the return to catch any further dirt.

    venturi or single pump

    They are talking about fitting a venturi type shower which is not thermostatic. I'm sure the manu would recommend its own supply, or at least teeing off in the airing cupboard so its the first draw off. They were also talking about fitting a pump. That would need its own supply because of...

    venturi or single pump

    Cap off the tee's you cut in on your bath supplies and leave them to feed the bath. If the cold feed to your bath tap is fed via the mains then you could still use that as a cold supply to the venturi shower. If the supply is fed via a down service (tank fed) then you can't use that and continue...

    venturi or single pump

    So you still have a bath in place you have tee'd off the supply to the taps for the shower? If you have done that then its not correct. The venturi shower will need its own independent hot supply from the cylinder (22mm), so surrey flange or essex boss. You can tee off the hot supply local to...

    Just waiting for my girlfriend to save up a bit more and I'll be on that plane! If only I was going on my own I'd already be there :roll: How long did you go for mate? And why did you come back?! :P

    sealed cemtral heating

    More than likely the washer is stuck. You need to unscrew it completely and try to peel the washer off. You'll know when you've disturbed it enough :) If you manage to free the washer, or the washer comes out attached to the spindle, both without you getting wet then the valve is probably...

    London police station besieged by gang supporters

    I've had enough with this country. The negatives far outweigh the positives. Next year I've decided to travel around New Zealand on a holiday working visa. And with the hope that I'll enjoy it that much over there I'll look to find permanent employment and won't have to return to this...

    new boiler

    Yep Whichever your RGI recommends, each installer has their preferred brand/s. The more important factor will be the system getting cleaned.

    Thermostatic mixer showers, do you get what you pay for?

    I fit pressure balancing shower mixers when the supply is fed via a combi. I normally fit the Moretti as its cheap and looks nice, which is mainly what every one wants. But fit the Grohe if you want quality...
