Most waste pipes from coming from a floor are on ground floor and boxed in or in bungalows and covered in cement,so i doubt it can e moved. So its usually a case of putting a baton behind the cistern to achieve correct position. Dont use a flexi if you can aavoid it , it is just an expensive...

We fitted one to a large system which we routinely clean once a month and the valves seem fine to me, very easy to operate. Not a 28mm one though but sure they are all similar

For a non rgi you seem to know more than just an average joe about how your boiler has been fitted and what has and has not been done!!

Is there an immersion heater fitted to the cylinder, and if there is,is it on all the time? An immersion heater should just be used as back up on your sysem.

The "angled top" box to left of pump,seen one before,also near a pump, which i had to change. When i refilled had a few probs so i carefully undid the screws on the top and lifted the lid, got a gush of water out and seemed to clear the problem i was having. I ws very careful and just lifted it...

So basically, after 2pm on a friday its not worth stopping a gas leak as its just too damn inconveniant for the landlord as it cant be turned on again till 9 am monday. Far easier just to let the building cath fire and let the tenants burn to death or if theyy are ucky a big explosion will take...

Thought f4 would be low pressure, but not on a motorised valve, i need some training :shock:

1) 15 mm is best from combi to all outlets, so if possible replace all 22mm with 15 mm pipe. 2) just use a 15mm inline isolation valve 3)personally ,for a diy job use plastic pipe, but you must use pipe inserts on all plastic to plastic connections, plastic to copper does not req inserts and...

Fit an unvented cylinder with a secondary return pumped constantly roundto the washing machine and freezing problem is cured, no its ok , dont thank me,you all know it makes sense.

After that conversation i would be reluctant to turn up at all, dont like people who think you owe them something or are making demands before you have even met them or done work for them. Part of quoting for jobs for me was to see if the potential customer was someone i could get along with...

I personally would site any valves in a place they can be accessed if needed, wherever that may be, floor, ceiling, cupboard ,etc and if all else fails and you cant find any iso then turn off the friggin water or snatch it :roll:

Seen plenty in Doncaster, the home of thomas crapper,dontbother trying to get spares though, just donate it to a local museum.

Have used bungs dozens of times and changed pumps ,3 port valves, rads etc, dont use a bung on the expansion pipe, i use a speedfit stop-end instead as it does the same job but wont ever drop off the end.Sometimes need to clean end of pipe up first or slice a little bit off the end if its not...

We supply housing to asylum seekers and some of these people come from countries where their idea of a house is tin sheets and plastic bags,no toilets , running water or any sanitation. But you should here these people moan because their combi cant supply water to bath and sink at same time,or...

Why cant you use shorter flexi and use either copper or plastic pipe to make up the shortfall in the length you need.

Sadly your friends who had pipes fitted above the skirting boards have been ripped off by lazy cowboys who couldnt be arsed to take up the carpets and floorboards,the pipes under the floor were probably fine and would last for many years to come.I doubt they even lookeed at them. I hate firms...

Always use olive cutters, not tried pullers, and does 95% of jobs except where you cant move the compression nut back far enough, due to being near an elbow or tee fitting.

How old is boiler ?

It could be a problem with the microswitch on the right hand side of the boiler.(in a black plastic box) but not sure if this usually leaves you with no heating. We have one of these on the patch and have to adjust this switch every 3-4 months , but never have a problem with owt else. sure...

I like rettig permo rads from pts, look nice , cheap to buy and decent brackets which can be fitted to give you 2 options as to what gap you like between rad and wall. Hate screw fix and b&q (biasi) rads, cheap brackets.
