I can now add that I have been successful in removing the piece of pipe I was asking about. Now I can easily continue on with copper to the toilet. Many thanks to all you who showed some interest in my questions!

Many thanks for all your replies!! As well as doing some more research, I am still trying to conclude whether I have the confidence to do the job. However, thanks again!!

Fishhead, thanks for replying. However, I don't see how freezing helps at present. And Muggles, many thaks for your reassuring message. Refering to it, the pipe in question is 3/4". In my shed I found an old female end cap which has 3/4" stamped on it. This cap is the same size as the...

Hi, I am hoping for some advice from you good fellows! I have tried to add a picture, hopefully it has come out below. It will probably be helpful if I add that I do not have a blow torch! I am wanting to replace my upstairs toilet. Ideally I would like to connect to the right of the...

Hi Jim, With regard to water pressure you asked about, there are details in the manual under 'Water flow rate and Pressure Loss'. Can you tell me what NF figure your particular boiler is as the details differ for each NF boiler. The NF numbered boilers are 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80...

Message for JimMelrose, I haven't time to check through the manual today but I will look into it tomorrow and write back.

Many, many thanks for your reassurance Jackthom. I have just done a bit of experimenting with the 3 way motor valve: 1) Firstly, the CH hadn't been on since last night; the valve lever was slack and could easily be manually moved left and right; and then returned to the left position...

Many thanks for that Jackthom. I will go ahead a disconnect the wiring for the cylinder thermostat. Any thoughts with checking to see if a programmer or a 3 way motor valve are faulty. Also, allow me mention what the 3 way motor valve is doing at this moment: at present the boiler is...

Thanks Jackthom, and Agile for your continued interest. The interesting thing here for me is that both your comments about the inconsistent turning off and on of the boiler relate to devices that are away from the boiler - this could make for a cheaper repair? 3 points to comment on...

Thanks Agile and Kevplumb, I am thinking I don't have an external frost stat? Looking over the system I can find the hot water cyliner, the mains switch, the 3 way valve, the pump, the timer, the Aerjec II de-aerator, and one room/wall stat with a dial. That appears to be it...

Many thanks for your reply Agile. With hot water issue, I worry too much about the costs of repairs, and have found in time I can adequately meet what hot water needs I have through other means. If the problem is the Frost stat, would you know where that is on a Stelrad Ideal...

Hi Again, If any one has any questions, please feel free to ask?

Hi Ticklyt, Thank you for your message. With the emersion heater/hot water cylinder: 1) Because I have some issues with the piping on the hot water side in my house, which still needs fixing, I do not use either the emersion heater or gas heated water via the boiler for my hot water...

central heating and plumbing

The boiler I have is a gas fired Stelrad Ideal Classic NF 60. The instruction manual with it is dated 1991. A possible important point to add is that I only use the boiler for the central heating, this means during the summer months I fire up the boiler once a month just to give the system a...
