Would be more beneficial to upgrade the controls to offer greater flexibility. As to your question, it is more beneficial as it is as you are only turning 1 ancient valve as opposed to maybe 8 to 12 depending on the amount of radiators you have. The less valves that are touched, at that age...

How is this not a public forum? Or are you saying the one that was done was not a public forum? If the latter then no charges could be brought as they would have to sign up to the terms and conditions of the site whilst providing proof of competancy to be a member as some of us do here. Did...

But a source for this court case? Which forum? Roughly what dates? Where was it based? Would be an interesting read so please post sources for this case otherwise I can only assume it is hearsay or fictitious. Jon

@samwardill Vaillant part number 0020023721 This will need to be fitted by an RGI as there are tests that need to be done afterwards to ensure safe operation. Jon

Yeah that's always the way! A lot more thought has to go into press fit to make sure that you can always get int to crimp them or do them out of position. Jon

Do you mean the Kee Clamp fittings? If so then they are an entirely different beast to using copper as a frame. Pushfit fittings will all rotate. The only other option would be to hire a pressfit gun and use mapress/gerbrit press fittings. These are quick and secure but again they are high cost...

They do go in all the way to the tee same as usual fittings it's just deceptive the way the shoulders look. Still wouldn't use the stuff though. Jon

@Dan Robinson These are the ones with the teeth that grip the pipe. There is a slight gap between the pipe and fitting that you slide the tool in to lift the teeth. Jon

You have a pairing issue between devices. 1) Replace the original PCB. 2) Turn off power to boiler 3) Take remote unit off the wall and remove batteries. 4) Take unit to the receiver at the boiler 5) Power up boiler 6) Replace batteries in remote (new ones preffered) Units should now pair and...

That Wickes one should be fine. Can't remeber where I picked mine up from, think it was a rep that gave them to me at some point, but they look pretty much the same. Jon

The demount tool is the only way to remove these properly without cutting the pipe. Used correctly then there shouldn't be any issues with them. Can be a bit fiddly to start but once you get the knack it's easy. Just keep it square when pushing into fitting. Jon

Google Tek screws. Decent ones will go through 6mm steel with an impact driver with no pilot needed. Jon

Yes, although 1.5ah is quite small and will run down quickly on high-powered jobs. Look at getting your next tools with a 3ah minimum battery or two and you will notice the better run times. Jon

Is anyone still using PTFE anymore? I have rolls of the stuff but never use it. Loctite 55 pretty much every time now. Touch wood I have yet to have a leak or even a weep with it on gas or water. Jon

Surely you have no choice on the matter and the RGI should be discussing all options and pricing with the landlord? Am I missing something? Jon

But I am a plumber and an gas installer! I would never use it for work but it seems like it may have uses for your field for furniture. Jon

@unionworkeruk You can also google gorilla glue which does the same thing and is cheaper. I haven't tried these products and the sites are only a guide but that should get you where you need to be. Jon

@unionworkeruk Try something like this if you can't solder. It will give you a solid structure while keeping neat lines and will also keep costs way down compared to compression as you can use end feed fittings which are pence each compared to pounds! Jon...

From info given then No but you need to be more specific as to what was said and your system. Sorry I can't be of more help but the crystal ball is on for a service and polish today. Jon
