In fact, the valve looks EXTREMELY similar to the one here: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=162194

Walked into our tiled bathroom 2 days ago, and realised our tiles were squelching a bit...sealed floor (I think, certainly seems that way), small amount of water under the tiles by the loo. Further investigations led to me spotting a drip off the trap, that ran down the woodwork and to the...

I have a Y plan heating system running off a Baxi Bermuda, working fine, apart from one minor niggle. The 3 way valve is noisy. It ranges from "ticking", to "SCREECHwhirrwhirrwhirrwhirr" depending on what it's doing. Works fine, it's just extremely vocal. Which then reverberates down the...

Second a PIR... :) We had an MK pullcord that was hellishly loud, and combined with the pullcord tendency to not be where it should be in the dark, in pressing circumstances I decided to remove it and fit a white ceiling 360degree PIR. I have a white tiled, white painted bathroom, so the...

I fitted one in mine, and I have to say you are all rather negative about it, quite unfairly.. :) Mine had a Live, Neutral and earth taken from a junction box in the loft to power the unit, then the existing 2 switch wires were fitted across the relay as normal. I have to say if it's set...

WHAT?!?! The ST699 has a battery backup? THat's not mentioned in the manual for the one I inherited with the house... :evil: Every damn time I've shut off the power to do something, I'm forever having to stand there with my fingers pressing the buttons to reset the idiot thing. RIGHT...

I have a pullcord switch in my bathroom, that supplies 2x60w fixtures. It works fine, it's just ruddy noisy, enough to wake people if pulled in the night. So, in my wisdom (ha), I decided to purchase, from Screwfix, one 360degree PIR switch. No more bathroom lights left on, no more manky...

Ah, yes..I could do that.. :) I only want 1 bulkhead to light up the front on the house, and the other to light up round the side...not to light up the old folks houses. God knows how long they've had to put up with it, much like the 9ft+ cherry laurel bushes. :roll:

Yes, I have to agree - rebadged Digistat I'm sure. 2xAA batteries. Cover on the..bottom, right hand side pops off to show the batteries. Pop 'em out, pop in 2 new ones, close cover. Job jobbed. ( I installed my Digistat a few months ago, and noticed my parents "RC Plus" is the same...

The house we've bought has a PIR on the rear of the house, running a floodlight. One of the cheapo square things. No problem with that, except when triggered it lights the garden fine, but also the bungalows over the back! Well and truly overpowered for the job in hand. So...given that...

Was having a ponder about decorating daughter playroom on Saturday, when I noticed that the radiator in there is quite rusty on the bottom edge. So I decided to poke at it, as you do. Fingers behind the radiator, I can feel quite severe rusting there. Fingers come away damp, and I can smell...

Still waiting on a call back from the heating lot that looked on Friday to quote for work. Not impressed really, for a 3 way valve, and a service. Oh, mustn't forget the universal thermocouple. So, nuts to it. Took the cover off the T6360C (with house power off), pinged out all 3 wires...

Right. Just had a chap round who used to service the boiler in one of our old rented properties. He's got the bermuda lit. However, once he'd stopped chuckling at the wiring centre, there was a lot of "oh s&*t" going on with his multimeter.. Then he said "pump's gone". Took the wires...

Just bought a house...it's nice enough. However, Previous owner had: a) A nailgun fetish b) A lack of common sense sometimes. All doors are quite new..stained to look older. ALL are warped, bowing in the middle. Some catch on the top of their frames, some catch on the back creaking and...

I can post a pic of the consumer unit once we've unboxed under the stairs, yes..:) As to your other query - I have NO idea at all... :lol: Still trying to clear a path through the moving boxes.

We've just bought a property that has an 8 way distribution board with MCBs, and it's working OK, BUT... The house has an attached utility room that was obviously separate at one point and has now been roofed over to join up to the main house. This has 1 double socket, 2 light sockets, AND 1...

I see.... Odd setup! Did a full power off last night, set the ST699 to "Off" for heating and DHW, "Auto" on the mode switch. Main switch back on, new 3amp fuse in the supply box in the cupboard. Not a spark of life in the ST699. Fuse gone straight off. Now, with the ST699 on...

Pic of 3 way valve... http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/812/dsc00282m.jpg/ Pic of wiring centre (messy) http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/97/dsc00295lc.jpg/ pic of 'stat showing 1/2/3 wiring http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/200/dsc00302rn.jpg/

We've just bought a house with uPVC windows, and one of the handles has physically broken on the part where the spindle passes through, so it's now a 2 part handle. Where/how would I go about sourcing a replacement for it, any advice at all? Cheers All!

I can try and get the data of the valve, but where would I find it? Re: Air - no, it was in the supply lines. Gas was off at the valve, when I threw the lever there was a very audible "whoosh", and it was a case of open all windows, mains off, gas rings on until gas was smelled. Definitely...
