No - Chislehurst really, just liked the flag.

What if the wiring is behind cupboards? Do I need to put a plated junction box in?

Ok convinced, I'll use two separate FCU's. I need to cut into and redirect a cable. Obviously you can't have diagonals in the cable run but is it ok to run the cable both horizontally and vertically down and across the wall on the same run?

To save time and mess chanelling out the wall or is that bad reason? :oops:

Is it possible to run two kitchen appliances from one FCU? In this case a washing maching and a drying cabinet (1). If not, is an FCU available with one feed and two outlets?(2)

Can cheap valves cause lots of radiator noises - is it "hammer"/tapping noises etc. ?

Thanks as usual! (Looks like the one I took back was probably working after all. I suppose I was a little impatient expecting a 140l tank to be warmed up in half an hour). Cheers.

It's a side element - bottom of tank. Rgds

Looking for some information on the above. Do these heating elements work at lower rate than standard? The old heating element used to make the kettle boiling sound as it was heating the water but this one doesn't seem to make any noise at all. I have a 140l tank and the element is 11...

For Oilman. Yes, it was the bottom of the tank side element. Rgds

Just did exactly the same. depends how long the old immersion has been in place but:- First of all I broke the seal on the immersion with the tank full! Marked the flange of the immersion and the flange of the tank with a black felt tip. Used an immersion wrench and hit with a light...

Thanks DIA. When you say 'working' what exaclty do you mean - all radiators and cylinder heating up? Presently they do on pump speed two, I am just concerned re noises from rads and i had also read elsehwere that a reduced flow over the boiler heat exchanger can lead to premature wearing...

Not sure if this got on b4 Recently had a system extension during which plumber reveresed the heating system flow- new boiler, cylinder, pump etc. During drain down plumber did not change over valves on the rads. One oro two have old Peglers is the flow on these reversible. The main...

Don't forget to stop the supply of water to the Central Heating system or you'll be draining until infinity

Pedant....man has a point - don't f**k with gas , as for many of the other plumbing probs - well, most level headed common sense bods can do it. But the forum is as much to get an idea of where householders should be looking as opposed to actually Doing.It.[Y]Themselves. Pedant... take a...

There are building regs on the depth of channel in a wall. Not sure of the link, but profs hereon will no doubt know. I think it is a max one third of the depth of a cavity wall. When I had to channel the floor I laid a conduit of corrugated trunking and ladi Hep2o in the trunking. Worked...

Thanks for the advice - carpets up and replace the t's then. Cheers

We have three rads in conservatory - two electric one huge tubular. With k-glass double glazed it stays very warm. Never any need to have all three on. Just have the choice of taking the chill off the air in spring/autumn without turning the CH on. The electrics are from a company called...

Tks Brumylad. Capped pipes are in the same plane as main pipe runs or so I suppose they are level, but I know they are unsupported. Not sure if this answers your question?

Further to recent posts.... completed drain down/flush. Changed a couple of leaky rad valve, re-filled, re-started. No major problems - this time no banging from the boiler (did a slow re-fill and was very careful with bleeding). However, one rad is still reluctant to heat up and I wonder...
