I know dumb blonde question. Any advise though

Thanks for helping I've checked for drain valves and there is none. Why do I need to drain down the system anyway if the mains water is off ? Is this because the water in the rads will start to flow out ? Any ideas - thanks

I need to move a radiator upstairs in the main bedroom. It only needs to go a few metres across onto the other side. Our system is fed by a Baxi Combi boiler. I know i need to shut off the rising main at the stop tap but do I also need to drain the system down due to altering the pipework ...

It's true what they say, "You is truly SUPERDUPER" Did exactly from your post but from the bath mixer upstairs - worked a treat !!!!!!!!! 30 second job - Thank god for that too as it was my mums house, she aint too happy with me Ginny pigging her house to do my DIY stuff either...

Yes of course - thanks - I will do this from the bath mixer as the cold is directly fed to this too. Will keep you posted

Appreciate your help - I don't have a mixer downstairs but have a mixer shower upstairs can it be done with that. Also what about bleeding the rads. Thanks

Hi, This seems to have happened since i changed the ball float and valve on the toilet. The system is sort of semi direct - All cold feeds are from the mains and hot is from a 25 gal water tank. The problem is that the hot water is only coming out in a trickle, barely anything at all...

Some good answers there and funny ones too. The hammer sounds good in a flap on situation where all else fails. I'll buy a stop end push fit connector and outside water shutoff valve. Sleep better now Zzzzzzzz

Yer cheers - If your prepared for the worst, you won't go far wrong.

Does anyone have any good suggestions regarding a flap on situation when say for instance, a pipe bursts in the house or even worse, the main water feed stop tap springs a very fast leak just under the tap itself. I was thinking about this the other day in bed and now i'm worried for some...

Update Installed a Honeywell pressure reducing valve onto the cold feed - I've messed with this to try to get the same pressure as the cold. - It still didn't do the trick mind. It's certainly slowed the cold water pressure down but it's still no good to shower in. I'ts improved a little...

Some good answers there - Very happy with everyones help. Cheers :D

Thanks, I thought as much. Was a pressie from my miss (will blame her) :D

Hi, Can anyone advise me on the best way to drill through a window lintal. I'm fiitting a shower curtain and must have hit the lintal as this is quite close to the top of the bathroom window. My drill is a new Bosh 18V - wasn't cheap - I'm using the masonary drill bits that came with the...

#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DOITALL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~# No hard feelings I hope regarding my last post. I think it was simply a missunderstanding, from a Very experianced point of view i.e. (yourself) to a very new beginner, but willing to learn (myself) Take it easy

Thread was going well till your useless, nonsence, waste of digital input came onto my Visual display - It's no good trying to pick a fight over the net. No such thing as cyberkill !!! :twisted:

Your here because your bored and want to hassle someone - so it appears anyhow - read back through the thread and it clearly states no pipework has been changed. What's your problem !

Sorry that i didn't use the correct term for the storage tank, hence the reason that i'm on here to start with. That's the whole purpose of having a network forum so that people can exchange information and not have to read sarcastic comments !!! What's up had a bad day

Sure about what doitall ?

Very funny but i ain't that much of a dumb ass - :D I always do my research even though sometimes i do still make mistakes. -No I haven't changed any pipe work YET - That's still debatable, if my PRV Honeywell monster doesn't do the trick. Terry it's defo the main water tank and not...
