Hang on! there's 2 Bambers... who's who?

By the way it was a guess :wink: :lol:

Do you mean like you can't have gas and electric runnin in the same trench? Old gas mains were Iron but the old electric cables were armour coated with coiled steel, B*****d to strip down for a weigh in :lol: The old water mains were Iron weren't they? Or am I reading to much into your...

I aint a plumber but while wire wooling some of my joints the other day, I thought about all the bits of wire wool sat in the pipe. And to take a pot shot at your question: I think it may have something to do with an electrolytic reaction between the ferrous and non ferrous metals, as soon...

Kev, i'm assuming your joists are running the 'right' way, meaning your shower trap and waste pipe can be concealed easily under the bathroom floor boards. Therefore, you a low level tray. I say that because you said the old tray you took out was cemented directly on to ply, on top of...

Well I had another look this morning after giving the sink a good scrub with the old cillit bang, and there's certainley a marked improvement. Probably all the grime on the sink making the water look dirty :oops: I've turned heating on, so will check in an hour against a sample glass I have...

I think I'm afraid you might be right on this ben. I just drew off some central heating water from the the air vent that is attached to 22mm CH pipe, before it goes in to the coil. Got half a cup out to have a look at the color of it, and its pretty much same colour as the DHW. Damn.. took...

How can that be? I treat the cylinder with kid gloves while stripping cylinder unions down..

Refilled hot water cylinder 2 hours ago after a drain down. Water is hot now, but still a dirty colour at the taps. How long does it take for all the disturbed sediment to settle down, and the water to become clear?

If in doubt chop it out.

Looks all right to me mate, it's not something you wanna be doing all the time. Chippys on here can tell you were and were not to drill re: joists and wotnot.. Better to drill closer to walls than to drill right in the middle of a span.
