Hi there lots of differieng theories on what to use with this. Never PTFE on the threads does'nt do anything. If needed then PTFE round the olives. You could also use jointing compound on the olive. Rico

I rightly or wrongly assumed he used an angle grinder and I have persoanly seen evidence of this happening. Rico

Hi there, Its the heat of the fillings as they fly off, there are just hot enough to melt the glass and stick in the surface. Unlucky fella Rico

End Feed all the way Rico

:D

Bozzle, Yes probably, but you'll have to be very careful trying to get it out. Whereabouts are you, do you have a Screwfix or other merchants nearby. If you do then try and get your hand on a Salamader S flange as this gives you the option of male & femal connections to the cylinder...

John, Yes it is a more belt and braces approach, but I assume you would only be using the same chemicals you are flushing with anyway. If you can get one try and get a pump connection adapter to hook up to the system with. Much easier than pi55ing about undoing a rad. Rico

Hi John, Depends on what the HEX is made of, if ali then yes clean on its own, if not the leave in place and just clean as part of the powerflush. IIRC you could just put the hyperflush in the day before, don't think you need to leave it in for a week. Other than that, yes your order...

Honda, Use one of these then, the drain off Kev showed can also be soldered in, just take the rubber washer out first. Rico

Hi there, Won't affect your boiler and you don't need to turn off cold inlet under boiler. Shut off your internal stopcock, open all cold water taps to drain pipework thru kitchen tap, chop pipe where required and fit your outside tap. Obviously you will need to also fit, double check...

Hi, No the bend would be fine. I would still get the floor tiles first, otherwise your heights will be out Rico

Hi there, Another option may to use a "street" elbow from bottom of valve facing into the wall, that would give a very minimalist appearance as no actual pipework on show. Rico[/img]

Mike, Ideally the pump should be as close to the HW Cylinder as possible, if it is easy for you to do then I suggest moving it. You would then also have to fit bleed vents to the highest point of the pipework i.e in your loft, to clear any future airlocks. Rico

Hi there, Use Endfeed instead of Soldering Rico

Mac, I think Scruff missed out the number 2. Get a ball valve like the 2 you posted from screwfix. A High Pressure Part 2 Ball Valve. Rico

Cheers Scruff, I normally only fit plastic ones or the fluidmasters. Rico

So one would be specified hp and the other lp then ? Rico

Mac, Those 2 are essentially the same valve, just made by different companies. If you look at your current valve and the last 2 you posted, on the top of the newer ones there is a plastic elbow on the top, thats where the water comes from. On yours it comes from the bottom. As for...
