that type of reply is all too common, unfortunately. There is a call for them, there is a reason for them, if there wasn't the makers simply wouldnt make them ... 1/2" and 15mm are 2 different physical sizes, sure "sometimes" you can get away with using the wrong one, but the basic rule of...

as someone pointed out, yorkshire street end elbows tend to have a longer plain end on them, or i think you can get extended street elbows, although they are not so common, i know i've got some i picked up from somewhere because i knew they would be handy at some point when i saw them

no brand baths are a lot easier to deal with from the consumers point of view, and not as important to be branded (although quality is always important) as you pointed out, no tap holes yet, so as long as the bath is of reasonable build quality, the only thing you might struggle with later is a...

HansGrohe Axor Starck 3 hole concealed bath/shower mixer ... ....through their ebay shop ! :lol: [code:1] http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hansgrohe-Axor-Starck-3-hole-concealed-Bath-shower_W0QQitemZ160231230405QQihZ006QQcategoryZ42347QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem [/code:1] in actual fact they...

ah yes, the obvious "you get what you pay for" rules apply, and yes, i forgot the no-name warning, some of the stuff the bathstore does is brandless, and crap ! ... eastbrook are a reasonable middle man supplier, and carry a range of makes. here's the sirrus page for thermostatic bath valves...

gimmie half an hour or so, just about to eat :) also forgot to say, although you have picked correctly, get a shower with the diverter built in, the seperate ones are dam expensive

agreed, chances are its an unbranded trade item, and you'll be hard pushed to find exactly the right one or part, probably easier to replace the whole unit... but post a pic anyway, as there is a wide base of experience and knowledge here, someone might recognise it, you have nothing to lose...

stick with well known brands that have been around a while .... showerlux are expensive, but have very good customer service support, and a fair bit of their stuff is made in coventry, although they also have a german connection, as they use the name duscholux in europe.

yes i've seen these before and they make for a very tidy fitment indeed, couple of points 1. be aware of pressure requirements of the valve/filler, and what pressure you have and match items as required 2. the filling of the bath will take longer than normal and on a lower pressure system...

ok, checked it this afternoon..... 1. First thing i noticed is the gauge was practically at zero on the front :( checked outside, and the pressure relief valve has blown open at some point overnight/today.... bugger :? 2. Checked the valve as instructed, no water, but also hardly any...

i will check that after the pressure vessel checks (if i get water out of the fill valve i'll have to change it and will change the hose too at the same time) but your experience and advice is appreciated, i would not have thought about the hose until much later, if at all

ok, no bleeding the rads - got it and i've got a copy of that section from the FAQ, and will go through it tomorrow thanks for the very speedy replies :) much appreciated

quick answers to the questions asked then i will go look at the FAQ as i obviously missed something in there ! 1. to replace the diverter valve on this boiler you must move the expansion vessel out of the way 2. yes it is connected via a braided hose 3. one screw in the frame it sits in is...

i hit exactly the same problem a while back while replacing a piece of pipework that was cemented into the floor.... the answer i found was a 15mm-1/2" sleeve fitting, which would slide all the way on to the 15mm pipe allowing me to mate the 2 pieces of pipe together and then slide the fitting...

thank you, that is a nice easy test even i can get right, i will check it tomorrow.... dont know why i didnt think of that, over thinking the problem i guess and missed the obvious !

reply removed - sorry, i mis-read the OP, i thought he said solder angles not solvent ... my bad :oops:

ok, this is on my Ideal Classic Combi NF80 boiler, recently had someone out to replace the diverter valve for me, thats all done and working, but he advised me that it seems the expansion vessel is full of water and should be replaced. now, before i go blindly and buy a replacement, i have a...

ok ,this one is now solved - and yes it was the diverter valve, replaced with a new one and it now works as it should, accept i have another problem (expansion essel full of water!) - will make a new post about that

yes the shower is rated fairly high, and can certainly handle the pressure provided from the pump. It was damage to the pump i wanted to ensure i avoid. The shower is an electric solenoid shut off, which closes and opens rather abruptly, so i was concerned about any shockwaves that may result...

thanks for the reply, i've been doing a little research on the type of auto valve i would need, and i think i made a booboo when i called it a bypass valve, because that is what i want to use it as, however, looking at the bypass valves available, and how they work, it is unlikely i will find a...
