It 100% was plumbed the way I've done it. I was confused too, as I thought it shouldn't work. I guess if I can work out if it's single pipe system, then I can remove the bit between the T unions. Does anyone know how I can find out? Also, is it possible to have a "hybrid" system, where most...

Hi Terry, thanks for your reply. Yeah, they are T unions, but that's how it was originally plumbed in. I don't know for sure if it is a single pipe system. Is there any way I can tell?

Seems I'm also having IT issue. I can sort that out myself though ;-)

Hi guys, Sorry for the delay, only just managed to get it off the wall. You can see daylight when looking through the top and bottom valves, so there's no baffle. Both pipes have pressure. One gets hot, the other just a little warm. I'm at a bit of a loss now. Any heating engineers in the...

Hi guys, Sorry for the delay, only just managed to get it off the wall. You can see daylight when looking through the top and bottom valves, so there's no baffle. I'm at a bit of a loss now. Any heating engineers in the North East on here who could squeeze me in? Cheers, Carl...

Hi guys, I've searched and searched and I can't find an answer to my specific problem. We decorated a room for our little girl to move into, and the Wife wanted the radiator moving from one wall to another. It was initially a regular double panel radiator, which was mounted on a wall with the...

I'm thinking of replacing that tap with an angled valve with drain off. Is there anything I need to consider whilst doing that? Also, I want to introduce some rust inhibitor to the system, do I need to fully drain it before putting the inhibitor in, or can I just chuck it on the top of a towel...

Hi guys, thanks for all the replies. I should've stressed that I'm an IT Coordinator, and not a plumber ;) I'll assume that the nut and union is to the left of my problem area. Point taken, I won't use tape on it when I put it back on. With regards to the problem area though, I just need to...

Evening all, Just installed a new radiator in the bairn's room, but it's leaking where the tap screws into the radiator. Just a slow drip, but a drip non the less. Here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lzzg0k92gwgy46v/20160926_202530-picsay.jpg?dl=0 Is there an easier way to fix this than to...

Bumping, as I'd like to get it done this weekend. Cheers, BS...

Hi All, I'm currently in the process of reinstalling my steam shower cabinet, after the original installer made a right Horlicks of it. See here and here for background. Here's where it's going to go. As you can see the original installer had it on those white tiles you can see along each...

I have everything I need now, thanks again for all your awesome advice! Cheers, BS...

One more question about the strap on (quiet at the back!) Would you guys consider using the 40mm adapter that comes with this strap on, or go with the 60mm to 40mm reducer I posted earlier? Thanks again, again, BS...

This post has been replaced by a new thread created in the flooring forum. Cheers, BS...

Historically, that last sentence would've had me guffawing all over the shop, but as I'm now over 40 I must remain straight faced. ;-) Will this stuff do the trick? I'll assume I'm safe to use the same stuff on any solvent weld applications, such as the 40mm pipe to new boss strap? Thanks...

Superb, thanks to everyone for their advice, fairly sure I can take it from here. Cheers, BS...

I don't think there's much I can do about this, is there? Can you remove a boss strap, clean it up and fit another correctly? Cheers, BS...

This one I'll assume?:

Hi all, Some of you may have seen my post in the Electrics forum for my steam shower reinstallation. What a palaver! Anyhoo, now we're on to the plumbing. Seems to be the same level of competence involved for this job as well, with the flexi pipe being siliconed into the boss strap. Needless to...
