Look for a drain point. Should be on a downstairs rad; you are able to attach a hose to a drain point, which should give you a clue as to what to look for. When refilling, make sure you fully bleed the system, to fill locate your filling loop which is near the boiler ( Or inside depending on...

I would use the shiny new pipe splice you have puchased and cut the copper pipe before the joint, then recconect the new tap using the popular pushfit fittings 8)

You are free to do want you want in your own home!! But imo ppl like you are the type that blow themselves up (trouble is other get caught in the blast 2) Your comments regarding Corgi are based on misconceptions, any body that cares for the safety of life regardless of law wins over for...

Your 1/2 way there. The cone shaped brass object i explained is the bit you can see!! If you have a combination boiler, then it the hot water should turn off when you turn off the cold mains!! I would heed pipmes comments though!! As an aside to those plumbers reading, check out pic2...

27mb standing pressure is np it means nothing!! 17mb working pressure on a 30kw appliance (F30) is dangerous!! This is ludicrous!! I hope you are joking!! Death or a few quid?? This just says it all!! 30 METRES OMG!! There lies the problem!! Oh and also the fact you have...

The washers are inside the tap!! To get to them remove the tap head!! This maybe covered by a decorative cap which has the hot and cold tags in it!! A flat head screwdrivershould do it! Now you should have to undo a grub srew to remove the head. Now you should have a brass cone shaped...

Experience helps but here my tips: The flame is hottest at its tip, so hold the BT away from the pipe The copper is about hot enough when you see your flux begin to bubble, at this point just touch the pipe with your solder if it runs remove the flame and apply more solder adding heat as...

THNX guys!! Laid many laminate and tiled floors but never one of these; i assume the skills I have will get me through..............i hope!! Any other tips would be warmly recieved!!

THNX for the link!! I won't flame you, as I may be wrong but does it answer my questions?? :?

Just a few Questions?? 1) Can it be layed on existing Vinyl tiles?? 2) What do you use to cut them?? 3) What do you use to stick them?? (some suppliers would be useful) THNX for ya help!!

OMG!!! I know this is a DIY forum but plz!! Some of the replies :? First of all be very careful when cracking out the old stack, any debris that falls down the sewer WILL block your drain!! So using an angle grinder grind the old pipe where you want to cut it, slide in a piece of card or...

Make sure that, your existing supply can take the extra demand your extension will put on the gas carcass. By this I mean; the gas carcass currently running thru your property would maybe not have been designed to take the added load of any gas appliances added in your extenision. So have...

I see your point the way you suggest is the way I would have piped it, keeping the network of piping hidden and in the loft; but as Oilman says this is only cosmetic. Can you live with it? If not give me a call I'd be happy to take your money!! :wink:

If you've found the right thing what lies beneath is the problem, but get some instructions, don't ruin your boiler. Even though I have been trained to repair these things I'd still check the instructions; most faults can be diagnosed and fixed from a read!!!

Yeah a Ferroli problem at last!!! Sorry pal, not good for you, is it. The problem: the Hot water temperature sensor is gone, located on the hot water pipe that leads from the heat exchanger; should be something that looks like an electrical connector attached to a copper pipe. Check...

Need to wrap hair felt in the places where the pipes come in contact with wood [ Joists ]

A conventional system with the correct controls can be just as efficient!! It will also sort out the mare that sometimes is; low H/W pressure on a combi. Provided you have enough Head :wink:

Oilman like you I am stumbed by this post!! I've read it several times and am still none the wiser This is what I think he is saying: His sytem is an S plan and it has an auto bypass before the valves [ which would be correct ] so that if both valves are closed the pump still does its...

Is there a system bypass you have shut??? Sounds like the boiler is not being told to turn off due to water temp instead expanded hot water in beng pushed into your expansion vessel. Hot water hitting cold water = steam??? Loft cold this time of year = steam??? (Not being...

Comments taken on board guys!! don't want to upset anyone :lol: Just upset at how big the BIG BOYZ really are. Case of sour grapes I suppose!!! :wink:
