Can get a cheap bucket tester from ebay for 17.99 or do you think be better to start cutting pipes?

OK don't have one of those:-( I am using a twin barrel footpump. I am guessing I have a blockage that is reducing the diameter of the 15mm pipe but not totally. Then when I pump it up the pressure gets greater beyond the blockage then when I release the pressure the water gushes out due to...

OK so have an update. Rigged up a washing machine hose on the return of the offending return valve union this was not flowing other than minor dribble. Gave it a couple of pumps and then got good flow. Put everything back together and still not working. So moved onto the flow pipe which after...

Yes copper I can only get to the tail that comes through the floor.

@Madrab the 15mm pipework goes under the floor of the bedroom not sure where it goes from there onwards. There are 3 beds upstairs and one bathroom all with radiators in. The 15mm from the F&E I believe goes to 22mm as there is a box section near the newel post that has 4 22mm pipes in it...

@BlueLoo thanks will scrub the compressed air idea.

Old system with potterton floor stander on GND floor gravity fed cylinder pumped central heating. All radiators get hot apart from one (has previously worked fine but has not worked for about a year unused room for when kids come over) House is solid floor so downstairs is via drops from 1st...

Looking at potentially changing out from conventional boiler to combi. What are current views on the Viessmann 050 range? Can they be serviced from the front? House is 3 bed only one bathroom with shower over bath. Was going to go for the 30kw version. Thanks

old one installed 40 years ago (was gas)like for like apart from cannot get imperial size cooker so this is a toy one 50cm wide. Area C B and D will be sorted with the stainless steel splashback but if F which is the cooker, forms the zone then remedial works required. Thanks

Hi the Father in law is having a new cooker (oven and hob combined)installed soon. Tried to get him to go electric but didnt want to change :-( So he has took a call from the fitters arranged at POS and they have said no wallpaper behind the cooker (it has a lid). I plan to go round there and...

Thats what I was looking for :-) At the moment performance seems ok with no output from the tundish. In respect with a bit of tenacity I would say I can get the majority if not all the limescale out. The bit of plastic hanging around I am sure I can get that out. Does this mean my internal...

Looks like uni-strut?

Hi, It is leaking from the immersion. On investigation it is not the flange but the actual rod of the element where it passed through the immersion heater into the water jacket :( Got a new one and went to fit it at the weekend but was alarmed by the amount of limescale in the bottom. It wasn't...

But is it a problem? So far it seems not an issue, so let LL know who gets a gassafe out who says have better things in life to worry about. CP12 recently carried out but not whilst it was minus 4 out :) BTW boiler is on GND flr so no impaling claims from anyone

Friend of the LL doing a job round there. Tks

Wow that was nice and quick thanks

All, just been round a rented property and noticed that the flue has an Icicle hanging from it. It is quite a long flue run ie. not just straight out the wall, comes out about 40cm or so due to roof overhang. Is it something to be concerned about? I thought flue was supposed to slope towards the...

Oh dear so not rated then

Bump

What is the difference apart from external dimensions? I see the turndown ratio is not as good on the pure so does that mean different HeX? Does the pure require as much flow like for like output? Anyone fitted a pure what is the startup logic like. Thanks
