Was the hot water cylinder above the bathroom prior to combi install? I was saying for neatness nothing to do with pressure. Rather then running 2 pipes across your wall out of the boxing then into the shower, have 2 pipes coming down from the ceiling space evenly spaced and straight into...

I was going to say freeze, or even lazier self cutting isolators :lol:

Providing the pipes in the boxing are hot and cold pipes theirs no problem in taking a feed off them for a mixer shower. I would probably come from the ceiling down though rather than running 2 pipes horizontal from the boxing. And when you say self tapping I’m assuming self cutting...

Bump. Anybody any ideas??

Hi guys, customers shower, no documents or details about installation (surprise, surprise), they thought it was a new team, after emailing Bristan they said it was the valve labelled SP in one of the pictures, but it’s obviously not, so I’ve emailed them again with a picture of the valve and...

I'd go solvent weld, and try to wrap it. to protect the pipe if anything. Saying that, i'd avoid doing a job like that, bad enough with showers and tiled floors

A small piece of pipe?? im presuming Have they told you to hang the rad yourself? i would tell them to get back out and finish, as allready mentioned.

thanks for the replys :lol:

Am i missing somthing with this central heating system. The cylinder is indirect, fed off a back boiler, which looks fairly new. doesn't have Immersion heater, theirs no cylinder stat, and i cannot see any sort of diverter valve for the hot water and central heating. the only thing i can...

you won't be when you start doing it

Could be an air lock, or a blockage, or might need balancing, you shouldn't of let the engineer leave until you were satisfied they were all working as they should of been. Personally you should get them back out to rectify the problem

Read the instructions carefully :lol: And i presume your doing it onto a stud wall, otherwise your going to have some fun

ang on, if the olive is 15mm your not going to seal it, the adaptor that comes with the valve should have a 10mm olive with it, which should slide snugly over the pipe. or am i missing something?

if you unscrew the nut off the adaptor, does the nut and olive slide over the pipe? so that you can then sit the valve on top and screw them upto it. is the pipe round and not bent, as microbore kinks easily? and is it deffinatly 10mm not 8mm

this the one? http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp;jsessionid=WT2K0C1AOI0Z0CSTHZOCFFQ?id=49258&ts=43330# it should just screw on with the compression joint at the end of the adaptor.

the only tanks that i could do that with are the 4 gallon ones, and i would need to use at least 3. and if they wanted a shower :roll: the widening of the loft hatch is probably the best idea if i have a problem again, im just suprised you can't get galvy replacements, the guy is now gonna...

the hatch is about 340mm wide by 440 long and the tank is about 550 550 770 ive had to fit where the old tank was but now the door needs bringing out about about 4 inches to compensate for the extra i was just hoping somebody knew of an easier solution. even the slimline tanks wouldn't...

You shouldn't be running a cable for a shower, END OF Get someone in to do it properly rather than risking frying yourself :roll:

do you mean somthing like this? http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=18649 obviously they wouldn't be suitable but your best bet would be to contact mira and ask them if they have replacements

Ok a customer has a 20x20x20’ 30 gallon tank above the cylinder, and it’s nice and snug, and also the loft hatch wouldn’t fit and umper lumper through. So does anybody know the best place to get a like for like replacement from but in plastic? As the 25 gallon plastic tank is massive in...
