Thanks @Rodders53 I’ve not seen those corefix before so may give them a twirl

Can anyone advise on the best fixings to use to hang the following radiator please ? Its a Stelrad 800x600 K2 radiator with a weight of 31KG I assume this is empty weight, not when full of water so obviously the weight will increase The wall in my extension is plasterboard, dabbed onto...

sorry for the delay in replying all i gave up waiting for bestheating so decided to go for stelrad have to say, the quality looks very good and the dialog was good also

nope.....just a combi boiler @jurassic sparkk

Thanks @dal5band Check out my photos further down Not sure if they are what you are referring to I’ll see if I can find a manual online to clarify Thanks again

Thanks @jurassic sparkk I’d seen those but never looked closely at them tbh Have you used them before then for this purpose ? Are they not factory set or require some checking afterwards to check flow rates etc ? I’ve no idea what the plumber needed to do when he installed the boiler as that...

Here you go @jurassic sparkk Red = flow Blue = return

Thanks for the reply @jurassic sparkk When you say isolate flow and return, is this something that is done on the boiler itself, or are they added at installation time ? I believe the only additional isolation points are on the return which are either side of my Fernox filter to allow it to...

Hi all, I've got 4 new radiators to fit to replace some existing, but they will all need either new pipework, or at least some modifications on the piping due to different styles. I'm competent, albeit not the quickest DIY plumber thus as i've got a worcester bosch Greenstar 37cdi combi boiler...

Hi all, On Sunday afternoon, I have applied Miracle Gro Evergreen 4-1 to my back lawn and I immediately applied a hose to start and quicken the process of absorbing Early on Sunday evening, heavy rain fell for a time, further watering the lawn Monday AM was dry although not enough to dry the...

So i've purchased an Ebb and Flo shower to attach to the top of a sink in my garage to bath the dog in but i'm concerned about leaks as i've had to cobble a few bits together to make it 90 degrees to the sink top If you look at the red square on the "everything" photo that i've attached, will...

Thanks again @Madrab and yep it’s a conical tf1 jobbie

Thanks @Madrab for the advice on the paper tests…good call Do you have a preferred cleaner ? I’ve got a fernox tf1 already although it’s been fitted in a mega awkward place and was the source of needing to constantly top up the system due to a leak where it connects to the pipework and the...

Will definitely be taking my time as 4 new radiators to fit so some new pipe work needed before topping up to test before banging the cleaner in Will advise my better half to stick a couple of extra jumpers on just in case

thanks @mcprinter Any thoughts or preference between the cleaners from fernox sentinel and Adey or are they all much of a muchness ? I’ll be doing the slower approach and not power flushing

Thanks again @Madrab Definitely not straw coloured as mentioned due to a lack of inhibitor so think it warrants it So x400 mentions leave in system for 3-4 weeks I think I assume anything up to that time is fine then yes , and running it around daily ?

Thanks @Madrab The boiler is a little noisy when running and some of the radiators do take a while to warm up also There was a leak that I only found recently which was the reason why my pressure kept dropping (behind tf1 where it connects to the return, fitted by plumber in a really awkward...

Meant to say, this was a 4x4m extension on the back of our house, so wasn’t a new build house It was 10 years ago, but I’m still a little bit annoyed that the builder didn’t ask as like you. I’ve preferred copper all the way wasn’t Hard up for 30 quid of copper

Thanks for the comprehensive reply, @Andy165 I managed to pull a spotlight down when I understood the route the pipes would take and yes they are lagged, but as they appear to cross timbers, I don’t think they look to be clipped from what I can see which is limited
