yes, heat it until the existing solder bubbles, rotate with grips, brush flux on the join, add a touch more solder then brush with flux again as it cools

standard tightness test for me, if it doesnt leak at that it wont leak at anything! edit: and by that i mean anything it will experience in use not for strength testing etc

if your drain is on the other pipe to where the filling loop enters the system (flow and return), and you isolate the circuit with a pump valve or boiler isolation valve or something, so that the water enters the system at the fill point, is forced to travel in only one direction through the...

turn water off in street, hacksaw through the copper close up to the stopcock nut, fit new stopcock onto copper....

put a couple of isolating valves on the hot and cold to the shower and use this to cut down the cold if required

is it piped in non-barrier plastic?

so if its leaking already, you would advise cutting the whole lot out and starting again, just in case re-solering does not work (which in my experience it will), rather than just re-soldering it at a cost of 5 minutes and 0 pounds first to see if it works? fair enough but its not what i would do

heat it up, use a paintbrush to brush flux allover it when the solder starts to melt, feed more solder in, paint more flux on it as it cools = resoldered.

remake the joint until it is no longer damp, if a jobs worth doing etc

wtf is up with the general chat section on this forum tbh xenophobia, homophobia, racism, activisim.......... why not go for the full set :?

assuming a day starts at 8am and finishes at 6pm then a combi to combi swap would easily be done properly in a day! probably with 3 or 4 hours to spare!

3 days for a combi to combi swap agile? :?

if the pipe is full slip into the fitting and the solder has run all the way round it then it wont leak

karma? decapitated by a ****ing helicopter? you are out of your mind.

i could run and show you the reports with the names and addresses of every single installation i suppose but you probably wouldnt believe that either. so i shall just stop caring.

re read what i said. if you think 100k is too high all that does is further enforce my point.

not within the CHI division but perhaps through the social housing/community energy division. dont know for sure though

are you saying im talking complete drivel? in 2011 bg did 11k installations in scotland, that is fact. the market share is 12 percent or something so approx 100k total installations in scotland is probably about right. the point i made that you didnt understand was that the next largest...

i meant the next largest company by volume not all companies that are not bg, was just to demonstrate a sense of scale. but yes i was well pished to be fair

iwork for bg. our next biggest competitor in scotland does 1500ish installs a year, bg does 11k (2011). independents can bash bg to **** all they want based on the 0.5 percent of 'bad jobs' they see that they assume makes up the entire picture but i will remain proud to work for a company that...
