Ok Woody, thanks for the reply, I thought there might be a simple solution to this, but never mind. pixey

Hi. I am putting a new extractor hood in my kitchen. The wall it will be fitted to is 10" thermalite block with my garage on the other side. My question is, I already have an extractor running through my garage from a downstairs toilet/shower, so rather than cutting another hole into the...

Calm down everyone. In my last post I said that after 24 hours the boiler is as quiet as a mouse - I am very pleased. I was only wondering if I could leave it as it is. The fact that any loosened sludge needs to be removed from the system makes sense, and I suppose that was the answer to my...

Thanks for the replies, the funny thing is that after only 24 hrs there is not a sound from the boiler. I will still leave it in there for some time, I was wondering if it could do any damage if left in too long. pixey

From the other posts I have read it does sound like kettling, I was just wondering what the effects of leaving sentinel X400 in the system for much longer than that. pixey

Hi all. Last winter my old potterton netaheat developed some popping sounds when fired up. Reading through treads here I decided to add some sentinel X400 and left it for 4 weeks then drained, flushed and refilled adding sentinel X100. The popping noise has now returned, and my question is...

Agile, I think your comment is a bit stupid. No one on this forum suggested checking the flue first and as for the idiot with the ladder, it has been chained up unused for at least 6 months, so I find you comment provocatave and a complete waste of time. I only informed the forum of the outcome...

Well thinking about the problem being with the fan aps blocked flue or something along those lines, I thought I would visably check the flue, as it has been very windy here lately. When I looked outside I could see that some light aluminium ladders that have been chained up to a soil pipe had...

Hi Chris. I had the pcb and the pilot electrode changed about a year ago with a different fault so hopefully it is not those. I am pretty confident on the electrical side so if you could tell me what I am looking for with regard to testing the aps I would appreciate it. Paul

Thanks Chris. I pulled one of the clear tubes / pipes that connect to the air pressure switch, turned the boiler on, but only the fan came on, no pilot light or anything else. I re-connected the pipe to the aps while the fan was still running, and pilot lit straight away, and then main burner...

Hi again. I have a Netaheat 16-22 which has just began playing up. When you start it up, the fan comes on, then the pilot lights after a few seconds, then the main burner lights. It stays lit only for about 7-10 seconds before the main burner slowly "dies", and then the whole sequence starts...

Thanks for the reply chrisr, the run from the boundary is approx 15m, I have a cold tank in the loft, one mains cold tap (kitchen) and one mains pressure electric shower (which suffers low pressure at busy periods). That is all that is off the mains. I wonder would 25mm mdpe improve the...

Hi. Can anyone tell me the correct diameter mdpe pipe that should be used to replace old lead water mains supply pipe, is it 20mm or 25mm? Thanks. pixey

Thanks for the reply's. The shower is RCD protected, as are all of the sockets in the house, apart from the kitchen ring. I tried to use the shower this morning, and again the LP indicator came on, so I went and took a pressure reading at the tap in the garden, and the pressure was 18 psi, and...

I have taken the pressure gauge off my foot pump, and with a 1/4 - 15mm adapter have made myself a makeshift water pressure gauge. I have tested the pressure at my tap in the garden and get a reading of 35psi. Doe's this seem about right? I haven't tested the pressure at the shower yet, but...

Hi Chris. I have checked the inlet filter and it is perfectly clean. I phoned Triton and the first thing they asked me was what was the water pressure and because I couldn't tell them, that was the end of the conversation. I would think by the flow rate I have described above that the pressure...

Hi. I have installed a triton spellbind 9.5kw, model no:A10130500, and am having low pressure problems. The shower is installed in a new enclosure on the 1st floor of the house. The cold feed, mains pressure, is taken from a tee at the inlet to the cold tank in the loft and is 15mm copper. The...

So solvent weld then???

Hi I want to add a strap on boss to a 4" soil pipe to take a 50mm shower waste. I have a Marley strap on boss (with the bolt to hold it on) to go on Marley soil pipe and was wondering the correct way they should be fixed together? The boss did not come with a rubber seal so I am thinking it...

Thanks for the reply, I will have a look and hopefully these should do the job. Paul
