Cheers guys, interesting how did they do that! It is on an old 1/2 inch which then goes to a 15mm modern pipe cofig. Well actually it doesn't! I think the original (lead?) pipe is 22m or 1/2 inch there is then a reducer then this ball o fix thing. What is the point of the ball bearing...

I'm a dumb arse :oops:

Has anyone installed this room stat?

Thats it! A row of houses and no stopcock, just this dodgy isolator valve. I have been unable to locate an isolation point for the mains at thefront or the back. I sent an email to Thames water, but never had a reply. I'm pretty sure its lead pipe as well!

I cannot locate a stopcock to isolate the mains into my house. The pipe dissappears into the concrete floor. I need to isolate to remove a broken ball o fix. Can the pipe be frozen?

cheers for that, do u think it would be wiser to replace this broken o ring device with a proper stop cock? It is on the incoming mains.

Anyone had any problems installing this device? I've had a look at tech sheets and the wiring diagram conflicts with a caution written for my eco-tec pro28. It basically says connect to pins 3&4, but then later it sayas don't use 3&4 in UK! I'm confused. I currently have a thermostat from...

So whats a ball o fix then. I've had a look and its pretty much the same looking thing. :?:

Its quite old and looks like a compression tube fitting with a screw in the middle. It has a ball bearing or similar inside as something is also rattling in there. Your the second person who's said not sure what a restrictor vlave is. Its a shared water supply with possible lead pipe...

Cheers for reply, so these things are different to isolation valves? It looks similar.

Hi, If the mixer taps are on anything less than full flow, then there is a horrendous noise of the water rushing through the pipes. We have a vaillant ecotec combi and this also affects the rattling of the aqua sensor. There is a restrictor valve entering the house which is a bit old, and...

Vaillant engineers are muppetts! BG service is for everything, so if your rads leak they'll fix it Vailant only do the boilers, or more for another 20 quid (total = £50) I say their eng's are fools because one the other day tried to flog me a wireless timer. I checked the website, they...

You need to get it out of the joists. It is the vibration rattling the joist which you can hear else where in the house. It does my head in. My fan has to be fixed at an angle, so the two sides that fit into the joist are not screwed up to butt up to the ceiling. This has been the only way I...

sorry posted in the wrong post. Good luck.

Let us know how you get on please. Cheers mate :wink:

I thought it was air in the water. My vaillant has just started to do this, but only when the taps aren't fully on.

Sounds like the aqua sensor to me.

do a search on internet A decent one is going to set you back 20£!! I am looking at getting a MIRA one.
