    Jointing glue for plastic pipes

    Most push-fit waste pipes are polyprop. The OD is smaller than the solvent-weld alternatives, that are uPVC or ABS. Polyprop cannot be solvent-welded. I have cured a leak in a push-fit system using a thick bead of silicone rubber, then wrapping it with toilet tissue and squeezing by hand to...

    Air conditioning piping

    Regardless of your uncle's name: If you were installing this in the dessert, without the facilities of a developed country: - You can use the refrigerant charge to 'drive-out' the air in the tubes. This is bad practice, but better than leaving air in the system. It involves venting some...

    air con causes buzzing in speakers

    New Air Con units use 'Inverter' technology'. They vary compressor speed to control refrigerant flow rate. I bought an inverter to vary the speed of a 3-phase motor and the 'CE' noise control device cost as much as the inverter. I believe there are known earth-leakage problems with inverters...

    Air conditioning piping

    The correct procedure: - Check that access ports (for vacuum and charging) have been provided on the pre-charged condensing unit. If not, you need to add them to your pipework. During brazing/silver-soldering, bleed nitrogen through the tubes to prevent oxidization on internal surfaces...

    boiler with water softener

    I have operated a combi boiler on softened water for ten years and a combined oil fired/solid fuel system for 18 years. The main point for you to consider is the effect on warranty cover. If the boiler manufacturer excludes softened water, you may want to comply. Read the installation...

    Do I have the wiring correct?

    If you are sure you have gravity hot water and pumped central heating - 1. The room stat should be controlling the pump only. 2. The timer should be enabling both boiler and roomstat. 3. Move boiler supply from 2 to 1 on your second diagram. 4. The boiler will cycle on its boiler stat, the...
