maybe your rad in the bathroom is on the hot water circuit of the system instead of the heating side. turn your hot water on and see if the rad gets hot.

a 165mm bath is quite small....is it just for your feet? I assume you mean 165 cm and installing one thats 5cm bigger. 5cm is a lot to chase out although if youve got the space then maybe 25mm out of each end might be ok. If your bath taps are at one end make sure you can turn them on...

you can do as you originally suggest, by removing the rad and opening one of the trvs. If you go down to your local diy store and buy a hose pipe fitting that screws onto your outdoor tap (female with the thread on the inside), its the same size as your trv so you can screw it on, connect a...

why dont you be proactive and do it for yourself, you gotta start somewhere! whether its working for a time served plumber or a corporate company youre gonna have to go it alone sometime. If its a 6129 course you'll be predominantly fitting bathrooms so stick an ad in the local rag, get some...

not heard of any generic aqualisa digi range although if youre looking for a similar model Mira do a platinum digital shower, which is easier to install as it has a wireless digi controller, so no wires to drill through etc. its available from city plumbing exclusively at the moment.

you can take a tapping from your next nearest hot water pipe which neednt be in the airing cupboard. im guessing your cloakroom is downstairs so maybe a tee off your hot in the kitchen, but its simply down to the distance of your nearest hot appliance which would give you an indicator of price...

ive just installed a second aqualisa Hiqu taking the hot from domestic cylinder outlet upto the digi-box, 2 separate hot connections in 15mm off the 22mm pipe. on the cold side i teed into the 15mm tank connection. so 2 independent hots and a shared cold both showers run fine when run at...

get yerself some yorkshire fittings some flux and a blow torch then you'll just have to heat the joints to make the solder flow. once you see the silver dring of solder then stop heating the joint.

id suggest testing your hot and cold gate valves for isolation. Ive never found a hot one that didnt leak so you may have to drain down the hot side if your on a cylinder. ..otherwise go knock yerself out!

is the cubicle installed squarely with the walls? if its not perfect square then the doors will never close properly.

could you notch the ist joist at the exit from the trap and go parallel with the joists for part of the run, and then do a 90 deg bend into the centre of the joist across to your stack? you can drill larger holes in the centre of the joists. This means youd only have a fall from the top of the...

it really is just a case of connecting the hot and cold shower inlets to the pump and the pump inlets to the hot cyl and cold water storage vessel. the pump is usually installed as near to the hot cylinder as possible...not in the loft or youll need a negative head pump. you may wanna...

id work on a rate at about 130-150 per day for a trainee like yourself, and id double your time estimates. i dont reckon i could replace a bathroom suite in a day... its not a race. Just get the jobn done properly and dont cut corners as they lead to bad habits. new cold water cistern is...

i was once told by a helpful diynot member that if you're drilling a hole in an outside wall you should drill on a very slight downward angle to keep any rainwater out. makes sense is spose but ive never drilled a hole that big in and outside wall.

if your hot supply to the loft goes straight up, you;ll need to install an anti gravity loop ( a downward bend from the tank then back up to the loft) . if your hot pipework is going up and over and you plan to put your pump in the loft you'll need a negative head pump due to the low flow...

youd be hard pushed to increase the maximum flush capacity as most cisterns have an internal overflow nowadays which just pours into the bowl if over the 6L capacity.

whilst the plumber may be insured, the insurers dont cover incompetance or negligence...something similar happened to me on a job. I had a compression joint that was weeping a tiny drip drip over a period of 3 weeks whilst i was refurbing an ensuite which resulted in a wet ceiling below. I...

I believe that a 90 deg elbow adds a notional meter to the distance the water travels. i.e a 2 meter distance through a 90 deg elbow actually takes as long as 3m of straight pipe. you may be able to extend your pipe run from the hwsv using pulled bends as they offer very little resistance...
