Thanks for the reply, spoke to bc today, who were indeed very helpful. They said as long as i can get the fall required (although they said 1 in 60) no probs. But I would need to install a stub stack and AAV near the wc, and ensure that any elbows were accesible for rodding...

Hi Guys, Could someone please advise what the maximum permitted branch length from wc to soil stack is? I seem to remember its either 6 or 8m? I have looked at the Part H regs, but cant seem to find the info! :roll: Also, what does each bend reduce this maximum length by? Thanks in...

After endless waiting on the phone to them, have found that they are made by/for Crosswater, italian made. Thanks

Hi Guys, Anyone know who manufactures the Trinity Taps range that Bathstore sell? Need a spare part but cant find who makes the damn things! Many thanks

hi Guys, Why hell are these replacements so damn expensive! Got to be a con going on somewhere! Have had a couple now where they are built in with dudley concealed flush, but the cable goes on them, not able to fix, but cant cant change to a cheaper valve as cant access the bottom of the...

If the business turnover is less than the threshold which I think is 68 k then you do have to be vat registered, you can choose to be if you want to. Over that figure you have no choice and must be vat!

Thanks for the info guys, have thought about running new pipework on surface, but I think the room and radiator layout will make this difficult, see image! Due to this think the only way is to find the leak and try to repair. The other worry of course is that further leaks will occur if...

Hi Guys, Need to access and repair a leaking heating pipe which is buried in concrete, had a guy with thermal image camera find the leak, so no problems there. Just wondered what the best way is to dig the floor up? How for down are the pipes likely to be? Assume an inch or so? I...

Am neither what you mention, and was still laughing till you mentioned Spiders!!!!! Would not have even taken the spray up if the little buggers were looking at me!

Nige, dont you have a saw in the van! Cut the bl oody noggins a bit bigger then FFS!

No problems, turn water off. I normally leave heating on constant and turn room stat quite low so it will come on if required!

Update for you! Hailsham could not answer your question as not my radiator or house! After finally getting the ok to make some damage, investigated some more and eventually found a completely blocked tee on the return. So all nice and toasty hot, just part of a ceiling to replace tomorrow!

Hi, The flow was not as hot to the offending rad as the others. Could not be certain as strange layout but would say its not the furthest rad from boiler, its a three storey house, this one is on the middle floor, ll other rads get hot! Starting to drive me bloody mad!

Yes I bleed the rad!!!!!!!!!!!! Really difficult to connect the flow and return without the rad on sue to the valve connections, this was my first thought. Bearing in mind that when the valves are disconnected I get a nice constant and fast flow from the valves intil the bar pressure...

TY blades, When the rest of the rads are turned on, the flow and return to the problem rad are cold. The only way I can get ANY heat into that one is by turning all the others off. Cheers

How can balancing the system be relevent here? ALL other rads closed and hardly any heat from the one radiator!

Hi Guys, Just after some clarification of a problem. Combi system, up to correct pressures, one radiator in house does not get hot and the rest are toasty warm! Thinking the valves might be faulty, closed flow and return, drained and removed offending rad, opened each valve individually...

Guys, all i really want to know is what readings he should be getting from a multimeter over all the wires in the valve when the various functions of the programmer are selected. i.e. CH or HW or both calling for heat

Not my system, Brothers Partner's Know that the valve locked in manual puts it in the mid pos, just telling you what I have been told, by doing this the rads heat a lot quicker. Asked him to check when the system is cold, but does not live there so not there everyday and wanted to find out...

So your saying its not the valve?
