You'd be surprised, specially where push fit is concerned. every cut has to be clean and every fitting pushed on square etc. Am not trying to put you off but it's not as striaght forward as people think. But if you think your upto it, give it a go! Word of warning tho, watch out for the 22mm...

your pipwork has got to be protected from the concrete. it eats it up :evil: An your pipework must be allowed to expand and contract or joints/fittings can crack other than that you can do as you please. Personally i place hessian pipe laggin in the chase, place pipe in an clip back then...

:lol: Bloody dear that! I was thinking the same about not chargin properly, then i thought i like driving round in me transit and just a week in skeg every year. Obviously this fella took the view that plumbers earn 100k a year :roll:

As dave said you should have no problems fittin to this type of system, but i would reccommend getting the plumber to add some cleaning chemicals (x400, fernox f5 etc) a couple of weeks b4 he does the job. As dave said mircobore is nourtiously difficult to flush. This way some of the bulid up is...

8 Grand??????? :? Christ what system is that? does it come gold plated?

have you been on altecnic's website? seen if theres a product code for part your after an then take it to the merchants and get them to order it for you :wink:

An the blow off yeh is safety valve. just screw a half inch male iron into the bottom of it where the copper comes out. then the new robo kit usually has another sat on the top of the vessel

No probs matey. 105 is a swine to swap, it's a full boiler of the wall jobby most of the time.

Most factory fitted expansion vessels have a Setting of 0.75 bar pre-charge and are rated for the system. usually, thesystem hasn't been cleaned properly and the expansion splits, i say that loosly tho, it kindda moves am allows the water to fill the vessel instead of the bellows. d check your...

most decent plumbers merchants. Plumb Center, PTS. i think pts's version is called tplus 2. its basically a jointing paste that has p.t.f.e in it as well.

Don't fit em then and buy the copper ones as i suggested. If you read the instructions it should tell you not to fit in this manner. And no claim arising from incorrect fitting will be valid. Other words they burst and flood your house your stuck :roll:

half inch and 15mm are almost identical your new olives will be slightly tighter to get on tho. This shouldn't pose a problem as long as whoever orginally fitted the valves wasn't over zealous and crimped the pipe due to over tightening. best bet, buy a tub of laco slick tight, push nut and...

Yeh, the minute you kink the hose te flow stops. either that or they split. take the hose out and replace with a a new one. or alternativly hard pipe it. you can get pipe that reduces down to the size of inlet you have on the tap. for good measure buy a M10 and M12 set that way you get the right...

An a good place to hide the missus, just close the lid on her :lol:

There's no problem moving the tank up into the loft an this would probably give you a greater head of water at your hot outlets. You do mind have to make sure that the tanks weight is adequately supported and distrubuted evenly, any platform you make should have free air space underneath also...

Am hazarding a guess here but is it two flats on a single main? the flat your in feeds the one upstairs? water arrestors are ok for single appliance situations say a toilet which is banging like buggery when it's almost shut off but the back pressure is causing it to judder. If i was you i...

Closer than my apprentice ever woud be! Send him to merchants with your list and he'd still come back with the wrong stuff :roll: Your pretty spot on with your description, most merchants will under stand wot you mean

Sorry my bag, blonde moment :oops:

Just a thought, maybe your bath tap is still fitted to a 22mm feed pipe an more water is bein drawn off than the boiler can handle? But you seem to be the man with all the technical no how. why did you get someone else in to do the job if all your goner do is try an take his work apart. :evil...

Knowing what boiler you have might help? :wink:
