Hi thanks for commenting. The kitchen is being fully replaced.

Need to make a new hot tap connection downstairs and I have a cold water tank in loft. The gate valve from the tank is seised, bungs don't seal to seal properly and i can't see another way round it apart from draining the cold water tank, any other ideas?

That's what I did to my quarry tiled floor that I self levelled over. Just thinking would height be an issue in any way? Also would you tile right under the existing kitchen units?

OK so am I right in thinking it would be something like this (obv return pipework would look better!) blue is the bypass valve. Is there any regulation restrictions to this, obv this line will be hot? So does the run have to be placed out the way Also in order to drain to work on it, presume...

I have these floor tiles in my kitchen I'm looking to completely over tilethem and run through to another room that needs a bit of self leveller to reach that height. Can you confirm it's OK to overtile?

OK that makes sense. Can you give me an idea of what autobypass valve I need. Also what is the ideal length of pipework that I need to run from the initial t, to the valve then to the return? It's a baxi eco blue system boiler

Is this something I need a plumber for? I have done quite alot of other work on the system Inc draining fitting three radiators with copper pipework/soldering. But I wouldn't say I'm overly familiar with all parts of this system

Thanks for the reply, this is the original issue I am having though. So the rad that doesn't have the TRV on is in the hallway. This heats up with the hot water. In the kitchen the pipework most accessible for a kitchen/dining room radiator (and that needs a bit of rearranging for the new...

Thanks for explaining, so sounds like I need cut between where the pump feeds the three port valve, add a T and then connect to the return on a T?

OK, where does that put me, can I do the auto bypass?

Really sorry I haven't come back sooner. My house is such a project I have had to do all sorts until now! So this setup is next to the boiler in the garage. Hope this helps??

Thanks both, did the best I could with rapid set adhesive and grout had to try and work quick for my first time! Thanks for all your help aswell, wouldn't have been able to do it without some great advice!

Yes I did all of it.

Here is the finished result. Quite happy with that

Yeah I actually did, but the tile just disappeared! Not sure if the Mrs moved it or something. Tried again yesterday and got most of them down, looks good but some are not exactly level to each other. I didn't have levelling clips, perhaps I should have used those!

Well an update, I did give this a go but it didnt go well! started laying the first tile, all fine, then couldn't find the next tile! was so ****ed took it up scraped up the adhesive and left it there! might have another go but getting to the point of just getting a tiler in!

Sneak peak, its dry laid just need to fix down.

I have already PVA'd and wished that I hadn't after reading it's not the right thing to use. Is the purpose similar to plastering? slow down suction and maybe seal the surface? will the fact Ive used PVA already matter?

Brill, gonna go for it then, got a tile remover if it all goes wrong? :D
