I had this trouble and it was the washing machine was stuck on some weird setting where i had to turn it on to use a setting which drew hot water eg a 90 degree wash. It worked for me. I had managed to trap air after I turned the water off into the house and on again.

Can you buy a storage device which fits in under a built in oven, but NOT a warming drawer? (to store baking trays etc?) If so whats it called. :oops: Cheers

but these feeds are no longer on the system, the new pipe work bypasses these old pipes.

what exactly is a dead leg please? :oops:

ok, problem solved. I turned the washing machine on to use the setting which calls for dhw and it seems to have sorted it out! was it an airlock?

according to which magazine, wickes do th best kitchens. They have a 40% sale on now. I know this because I've just cancelled my purchase with infinity kitchens for £5.3k, when I've realised I could get the whole lot done with tiling for £4k

what was wrong with the focus ones nige?

cheers for replies chaps.

ok, ended up fitting a service valve with a tap conector type fitting for the female side (to the inlet), and then screwed the flexi end the compression end of the valve. Ok so i had to buy a new part, and I don't have my lever! But hey it works. The reason I wanted to do this was to reduce...

Cheers for replies and thoughts of the paint, I was hoping for some miracle answers like yes I've used t and its great. etc. Cladding wouldn't work as it would make the new windows look odd as the cill would nearly be covered.

so the back of a gas meter has a 28mm connection?

Why is it so difficult to add a service valve to a fluidmaster inlet on a flexipipe? I would've thought it was quite common. Unfortunately I have to make do with the existing plumbing which is why the setup is as it is. I ain't no plumber, so I've tried to go the easy route. I'm giving up on...

This is no good I'm afraid as the left hand nut in the picture is for a pipe. I have a valve with a compression fitting which needs to go to a threaded pipe. The compression end is threaded also as you know. How do you connect the two? In summary this is what i want to do; Toilet inlet...

ok been to the sheds and couldn't find a female coupler :oops: All I need is to connect a threaded pipe to a compression valve, surely there must be something that allows me to do that. The flexi hoses with valves in are no good as the valve is at the wrong end. I need a valve under the...

ok see your point, but everything i've tried regarding restricting flow makes a hell of a screeching noise.

why is it a good idea please Tony?

what about putting some polystyrene behind the wallpaper, is that any good?

I see your point. I have a strange scenario where; I have turned the water off into the house. (Combi DHW) Run al the taps to get water out. Opened the water to the house again. The pressure to begin with is amazing, the toilet fills and doesn't cause water hammer. Having a shower a few...

because of the access to the toilet I don't want to be fiddling around for a screwdriver, so I opted for the washing machine type with the plastic handles. I have managed to omit that the toilet is fed by a flexi hose. Why not use a flexi with an incorporated valve? Because of the reason...
