Chaps, what do you make to the pic below? You can see the two valves on the filling loop but I was hoping there was going to be a pipe to the left of the left hand valve. There isn't. Now I'm confused. I'm also concerned that I seem to have a plastic pipe as my pressure release? Is that right?

Yes, of course. 4 and 6 are what I use to top up the cold water. Silly me. Thanks for clarifying.

So I've managed to identify the pipes using the manual. Can I just clarify I have the right ones and that I'm not going to cause any other jobs by turning these off? 4 and 6 in this diagram (presuming they've plumbed it in correctly of course). Many thanks David

Thanks for your help. I will report back with my findings tomorrow after isolating the heating.

Great shout on the blue roll. I have some here at work I can pinch. I would be surprised if it was the boiler too but these things can happen I guess. I have yet to sit by the boiler and turn the heating on to test this but will do this at the weekend. Am I right in thinking I should see...

Thanks. Pressure was at 0 again this morning. I topped it up to 1.5 and then got alarmed when I heard gushing water....it was the Mrs flushing the toilet. Tonight I'm going to isolate the CH flow and return before repressurising the water. If I'm still losing pressure then ill move onto the...

I am beginning to wonder why all of a sudden the pressure takes very little time to drop. Before it would drop to 0.7 or 0.8, the boiler would cut out but the pressure would hold. Now it just drops to 0. Thanks for all the replies. They're helping me to get an idea about where the issue may...

Thank you for this explanation. I have never seen the pressure (on the digital readout) go above 2.0 bar. It touched 2 bar for a split second and then went to 1.8 as I closed the filling loop. I've read that actually anywhere between 1.2 and 1.5 is absolutely fine. I'm saying this because I...

By flow and return do you mean the CH flow and return? If you do then this is something I'd like to try and do. It's just a matter of identifying those pipes. I read quite a few posts on here where people had isolated the CH for around 12-24 hours and then monitored the pressure again.

I haven't and this is something I wanted to do tonight. Just my luck it was absolutely chucking it down earlier so I didn't fancy going out onto the sloped roof to check the pipe out. I will do this when it's dry with a bag as you say. Does it matter that air/condensation won't be able to...

Some though this may be accessible from underneath. We have two rooms where I've recently installed solid wood flooring. There are no visible signs of leaking on our ceilings. There is however one rad downstairs encased in a wooden radiator box type thing. The guy who lived here before me...

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I forgot to add, all rads have been checked and whilst we did have a tiny bit of leakage on one valve (green oxidation on a copper pipe) this seemed to cure itself. There is no sign of any other leakages as far as I can see. Everything has been bone dry for a while...

Evening, Since having a new boiler, a Vaillant Eco 825 installed at the end of Feb I have occasionally had to top up the water due to low pressure (F22 error). I was doing this around once a month. Last week I did it twice and now this week I've had to do it every morning before being able...

I've just noticed that these timber connectors are 50mm x 50mm. Is that not going to be a tad overkill for this application? Or is there no such thing? :) Also, they are M12. Would they still work with an M8 bolt?

Thank you for the link. Quick question. Would one of these go in-between shelf side and upright? Then a bolt through everything and tighten to bring all together? Thanks again.

I thought about that but would it be stable enough? Self-tapping bolt?

After lots of searching online for bathroom shelves we couldnt find any that were suitable and so I decided to make these: Our main problem was the space we had available for the shelves which is quite narrow. I purchased some timber and got to work. The shelf you can see at the...

Good idea. I could use the two eyelets at 3 and 9 o clock on the frame. Thanks

Ah ok. Would I just be using standard plasterboard plugs?

Very much so. Thanks. Would this particular fixing be suitable for a plasterboard wall? Assuming I can't find the timber that is.
