I want to upgrade my heating control and being a gadget freak, I'd like a 'smart' solution. I've come across the Salus iT500 but can't find much information or any user reviews on it. I was wondering if anyone here knew anything about it? More importantly, if I can actually use it in my system...

I found a branch of Plumb Centre that had these in stock so I could check it out. McApline told me it came with two rubber rings, one for 32mm pipe and one for 35mm. Unfortunately, PC said they only come with one fitting and that was the 32mm one. So the pipe wouldn't fit. I think the fitting...

I'm not very bright; it's very easy for me, and possibly others reading this thread, to misunderstand posts that lack...detail. (Not just yours specifically.) Some more information expanding on the point you're trying to make would really help me. Like I said, I'm keen to learn from any...

I emailed McAlpine and their reply was a little disappointing, but understandable. They wouldn't commit to a yes it'll work/no it wouldn't, but stated the part comes with two seals: one to suit 32mm OD pipe and one to suit 35mm OD pipe. They also attached a technical drawing. If the mods...

I'm having some issues with installing the under-worktop fridge and (separate) freezer in my Howden's supplied kitchen. The floor units are installed to the specs listed in their installation guide, i.e. foot length, worktop height, etc. I have adjusted the feet on the appliances so they are...

Could you expand on that, please? I'm keen to learn and I'm sure there'll be others reading this thread that would also benefit from anything you have to add.

I was hoping for something a little less, bulky. But I'll certainly keep it in mind. I'll admit I find it frustrating, the different dimensions depending on whether a pipe is UK, EU, compression, push-fit, solvent weld. So, can someone tell me if this would fit...

I'm fitting a cloakroom basin (under the stairs) and the trap has a 35mm x 300mm chrome extension tube. This is to pass horizontally through an external wall to the waste, which is 32mm black plastic, solvent weld pipe and mounted vertically. The manual suggests a compression fitting of some...

I emailed Fernox and they're posting me some washers free of charge. :D

Valves moved and connections carefully re-tightened. However, upon re-pressurising I detected a leak between the in/out port and the upper valve fitting. I tried tightening it a little more, but it didn't help. So I took it apart and found the rubber washer is goosed. I think it's been like...

Thanks. System drained and towels ready!

Thanks. So, is it a simple matter of loosening the nuts top and bottom (above & below), rotate the valve and retighten nuts?

The red shut off taps on my filter could do with reorientating to make them more accessible, is this something I could do? Or is it a job for a gas safe person? They're currently facing to the left, but I need them facing more out/to the right.

I've gone with some general purpose primer. Probably be applying second coat today. Then just go straight for the kitchen emulsion. My confusion is borne from undercoats stating they're for gloss topcoats and I'm not glossing. We want the boxing-in to be the same colour as the wall, so it...

The LED strips will need cutting and wires soldered to the ends without them. The pre-attached wires (3 of them) are 0.5mm 3A, coloured white, brown and yellow iirc. Looking at my options on TLC Direct, the closest is 0.5mm 3 Core - Pvc White Flexible Cable, but obviously the colouring...

I've boxed in some pipes at ceiling height with exterior plywood (I had some left) and now it needs painting. My wife wanted it the same colour as the wall, which is being painted with Colortrend 'Ceramica' matte emulsion. How should I prepare the wood? I have brilliant white undercoat, but it's...

Is that TSN Chri5? Hi there! I was reading the Dulux, or maybe it was Crown, website and they recommended 6 months drying time for a fully plastered wall! No chance my parents, or us for that matter, can wait 6 months to get back into our home. :lol: I was in Taskers this afternoon and...
