Hi there, Fixing to a palsterboard wall is not ideal, but it can be done. You would need to chop out some of the plasteboard and add additional studs / noggins to take the fixings Rico

Hi there, Don't think you'll find anything in other than ceramic do the amount of abuse they can take. May be you would find a small one for a caravan in plastic, but i'm not sure. Rico

Hi there, Theres a few options. Jointing Compounds, Boss White / Blue, Hawk White, or another alternative is Loctite 55 string. Rico

James, Change the rad, also check all the others in the house, if one has gone the reast may not be far behind. Depending what central heating system your on, if you have 3 way valve in airing cupboard, make sure it is in the manual position when draining and refilling. Also clean out the...

Hi there, somebody else had this problem on this type pf tap the other day. Turn off your hot and cold supplies before doing this, so you dont get sprayed. You can take off the little arms on the taps head, you may need a small allen key to do it. Then under one of those I beleive...

If it is the supply to the boiler and they have closed it, get them back ASAP to sort it out. Although heating system is not under pressure, if you do happen to get an un-noticed leak on your system in the next week and your boiler needs more water it aint going to get it. NOT GOOD. Get...

Piccie please

Hi there, While youre there getting more olives get yourself a pushfit end cap. Job done Rico

Ian, Where is the shower and what type of pump did you intall. Sounds like you should have a Negative Head Pump. Also, usually if the pump is above the cylinder you need to fit and anti-gravity loop in the airing cupboard and bleed vents at the highest point on the supply pipework...

Freedy, Any chance you could put up a piccy of the 2 ends Rico

Seco beat me to it again __________________________________ Shuggie, Can you clarify what you mean by hot water tank, do you mean the cylinder. Isolate the supply to the cylinder so no head of pressure being exerted on cylinder. Get a few towels and a hosepipe ready. Undon the...

Dammit, youre quick seco ________________________________________ Pooley, What kind of system is, boiler & cylinder or combi. Either way the quickest way to get rid of the air is to back fill. Attached hosepipe to drain cock on lowest rad and turn it on. If on combi just fill...

Hi there, I don't undersatnd why there are "2 layers" did they fit the wooden floor as well before putting the vinyl tiles down. Have you rung the company to complain that they didnt't install as per youre instructions. As for the gap, not sure how your going to get around it, maby a...

larold, Yes you are ok. Back in the day, bathroom radiators used to be set up like this as an outlet for the excess hot water from the boiler when only the hot water was on and not the central heating. Yours will just be a hangover from this. Don't worry just go ahead and add your...

Any chance of a piccy Rico

Nice to see a happy ending and also a poster grateful/bothered enough to come back to he forum to say thank you. Can you put us all out of our misery and let us know what the problem actually was and how it was sorted. Cheers Rico

Hi there, Chances are the screww will be under the decorative caps on the tap heads. Rico

Harmonia, You're welcome. It all depends on how the rad is piped up. Is it a continuation of the central heating circut or is it teed in to the flow and returns. Rico

Harmonia, Sounds like a plan. You should'nt need to drian the whole system, just enough to empty the rad in question and its pipework. Best If you can cap off as near as possible to where the supply pipes are teed of the loop. If you're confident enough use solder fittings, failing...

Hi there, Can't tell from your link as it is a completely different shower. It should tell you in the installation / user guides, you should have got with the new shower. Off top of my head it is around where the mains supply connects onto the shower. Rico
