Oh c'mon now Danny, while it'll never be as cheap as gas, given the right tariff - it can be very affordable.

Oh c'mon now sonny, no need to insult Tom & I, when we clearly know better than you. Can I suggest you return to your washer changing duties without delay?? And you leave the real Plumber work to the men.

But spareshitter the Plumbers Mait will not seal the threads below the back nut, as our scouser chum has pointed out. Do you difficulties with comprehension??

Who do you think I am SSE?? Anyone thinking of fitting an electric boiler should contact the electrical supplier in their area to establish the best tariff to suit their system.

This subject has been covered a few times on this Mickey Mouse forum. It can be financially viable to run an electric combi boiler in a flat. Basically it's down to the electrical tariff your supplier can provide. You're looking for a cheap off-peak rate & a storage type electrical combi...

C'mon la, he's just talking a load of sh.te, there's no other way to put it. Now you go back to your White Lightening & Special Lager & dont worry about that rsole.

Use Tom's method & It'll ast as long as the life of the basin. Never known one to leak. Good quality silicone is the product of choice as stated by many.

Hard work of it???!!!! You're having a laff fella. You think you know better than guys with decades of experience & knowledge??!! Mate believe me you don't!!! When I started my time in the early 70s the artisans that I learned my trade from would use putty, paint & a big lead washer. Time...

My mate Tomplum has a great wee video on this very subject.

Plumbers Mate on the top flange, plastic washer & silicone on the back nut & washer. Don't use silicone on the top side of the grating as it'll discolour in the basin & turn black - always use Plumbers Mait on the top.

Not my experience Tony. All expansion vessels are of very poor quality.

Ah, your annual supply of condoms Danny Boy. Please pass on my regards to your wife's sister.

For a few years now the industry has put up with the expansion vessel & it's very short life, it's time for a change - time for something else that's more reliable.

Bath or underpants?

Never found the need for Visqueen or similar on a system of this nature. Just ensure the concrete finished flush with the top of the joists & makes contact with the underside of the flooring.
