Hi My current lead mains in in the kitchen and looking to get a new 32mm mains moled to the garage. My new boiler/unvented tank will be in the dining room and wanted to know if I could then run a 25mm mdpe pipe from the mains incomer to the dining room under the suspended floor....would it need...

I’m not in that boat so if best not to mix, I’m happy with that. Do you know if they do an ‘easy lay’ type pipe? Is it pb or pex

Does hep2o need a special pipe? I have about 10 lengths of jg pipe from last install and some fittings

I’m thinking plastic for speed really. I need to fit new radiators and upgrade pipework at the same time. Was thinking plastic would be quicker and also easier to feed 22mm pipes under suspended floors

Hi all What’s the best plastic fittings these days for central heating. In the past I’ve used John guest speed fit. Thanks

As requested, here’s the best pics I could take with my phone. My camera is yet to be found

yes the camera went all the way to the top and was clear. The terminal is for gas. the picture is from when we got the house, don’t think I can get much better due to height. It’s 3m+ from the flat roof of the bay window. I will try in the morning and see if I can get a better picture the...

Yes, but that is a different fire in another room - sorry I realised that was a bit confusing

This is a picture of the rear of the house, you can see the stainless cowls (there are 2)

There was no gas fire there and can’t even see a gas pipe. The back was solid and there was an extension lead run behind it for an electric fire. the other side of this wall is another liner which the old floor standing boiler was connected to. I had the boiler removed when we moved as it...

The manual states a liner isn’t necessary, but I’ll let the gas installer do an inspection first, but think it may have to come out through the room. The chimney sweep did say that it may need removing (he cleaned lined) and he’d come back to sweep the chimney and camera it. He did the one at...

Getting to the terminal is not easy as there was a loft conversion done in the 80s. No flat roof to shoot ladders from, would have to be from patio to chimney pot which is 8m+

Was there a reason for leaving the old open fire bricks in?

Will do, thank you. I have the manual so will do some measuring. It’s the coal model not the log one

If I remember correctly the old bricks needed removing as it didn’t meet the minimum dimensions, but will leave for gas man to sort

Hi Thanks for that. I’ll find a chimney man to come and sort the closure plate first then before I get the gas man to fit it. The dimension are fine once the old open fire bricks are removed which the chimney man would need to do before fitting pate I guess

Hi all I’ve got a gazco logic he that I’m want to get fitted. I cut the fire place back panel as it was solid and needed chimney sweeping but found a flue liner in there as per picture. Question is can this fire be fitted with this or do I need to get another fire. Asking before I call a gas...

Finally got round to cutting the panel. Did it with a diamond blade. Turns out there is a flue liner already in there, but also the old remnants of an open fire, so guessing someone had an outset fire at some point

Hi all, Happy New Year I finally got around to measuring each room and using an online calculator to work out but. If I add all rads plus allow 10,000btu/3kw for the tank I get a total of 100,000btu. By the time I get the rads, some will be over sized so I estimate 110,000 btu. Does this then...

Hi That’s interesting….how far did you run the 28mm primaries (doesn’t the boiler have 22mm connections). Reading up a lot don’t like the 438 we have. How does the low loss header with twin pumps work? I’ve got the Drayton just as 3 channel at the moment, ordered a trv to test its...
