No - so it went when the shower was running the other day( it’s a mixer shower , not electric) and my partner said the hot water has gone.. i turned on the tap in the main bathroom and it was fine

When you say inlet group do you mean the pressure reducing valve black one in the attachment earlier? . I actually cannot locate where the existing pressure reducing valve is .. where should it be? . I google the pressure reducing valve for the heatrae megaflows andit comes up with the black one...

Hi Added a picture of what my engineer put in in August ( i think its a pressure relief valve?) 8 bar blue thing. He also left a black 3 bar valve .. not sure what it is . He said it came in the pack and to keep it ..

Forgot to say - Boiler is 10 years old. Have it serviced this year and it was all fine . I suspect the problems are with teh cylinder

Hi all Was after some advice. I have a system boiler ( Ecotec plus 618) and a Heatsatre Mega flow ( 145l) about 20 years old . Over the past 6 months i have been experiencing hot water problems - specifically hot water just stops - i.e no water coming out of the hot tap . The cold water still...

I was thinking to offset the smaller reduction in length with a bigger height. Rad is 438x770 so was thinking either double panelled or taller - say 900

Would it be safe to use these to extend the cables . https://www.screwfix.com/p/ideal-spliceline-in-line-wire-connectors-pack-of-10/42201

Thanks for the reply .. I would do that but i’m a little nervous at destroying the old fan in case i make a huge mistake with the install( not that much can go wrong i think). - just confidence but i am always like this and end up doing a good job . So to avoid this i need a short length of 3...

That looks smart. I think i’ll go with the 400mm length rad and the tails and new TRV’s . Thanks.

Just picking up on this post from a couple of months ago. ( Covid and school holidays distracted me). I have my new fan - an envirovent silent with a timer 100mm: I’ve had a look and i’m concerned that the wires are not ling enough to reach the the fan’s terminal block ( see pictures) so...

Hi there i have a rad in the kitchen which is a Myson imperial ( 19 inches wide ( length) by 30 inches high . ( see pictures). The whole house has these. I want to replace this rad that has been in place for 26 years as its rusting. My dilemma is because of he location of the rad, there is no...

Hi all I’m after some advice please. My downstairs toilet fan needs replacing and tonight i whipped off the cover ( power off of course) to find the attached wiring - see picture . My surprise is that the red live is not connected to anything. Is this normal? Also the loop between the T And L...

And Hugh aswell

So today i did the job. I’m pleased to say it seems ok. The right side connection was the fiddley one as the tail was long enough but i have a male end tail wanting to connect into an isolation valve , so i had to put in a short piece of pipe . i turned the compression nuts 2-3 quarters of a...

Thanks Terryplumb. Wrt to the right side. If i remove the elbows and the tiny 2cm bit of copper from the existing isloation valve , is it best practice to put a new olive on when connecting the new piece of short pipe to the existing isolation valve?

Hi I have to fit a new monobloc tap under my kitchen sink. I have the new tap and flexi tails. Existing tap has copper rigid tails and have been soldiered in to a join (i’ve’d marked it yellow on the pic) I haven’t done this type of job before but will give it try. The piping on the left hand...

Thanks Moggett. I like the cat profile pic. We have 4 cats . Will have to upload them on my profile

hi I had a quote of £325 to replace 5 TRV’s. I looked up the TRV’s that the plumber will install ( Drayton RT 212’s). He said he only installs these. They are £25 each . He mentioned inbitor which is another £20 so all in all around £175-£190 in labour. Is this a good quote? Rgds Diylady

Hi We moved into a new house on the 01 March. The heating system in place is a system boiler with a hot water tank in the airing cupboard ( boiler is a valliant Eco tec plus 618) . The previous owners whom we are in touch with have said it is cheaper to leave the hot water on constantly than...
