Ok.Bathroom is gravity fed.If you are sure that's fine. So how exactly are you going to isolate the cold pipe referred to in your post if you are not going to go in the loft to turn off the stop tap(to the tank presumably)?? And YES it is ok but perhaps not ideal to put a compression fitting...

<<p.s. my stillson is inherited and only for moral support and has never been used>> We can see that. I would be very doubtful if your cold tank in the loft is feeding that basin tap. Are you sure?? What sort of pressure did you get at the tap?

Come on Jbuild-yer missus wants the new bathroom finished by the time she comes home tonight.

If you do a compression joint properly then it will not leak and will be fine.Stop worrying.

By the way,you can put those stillsons back in the shed-you don't need them in this bathroom at all.

First things first,this is NOT a big deal or a real problem. Turn off your stop tap as far as you can (without shearing anything off) then open the cold tap in the kitchen and/or outside tap if you have one. This will minimise the amount of water that you have to deal with in the bathroom when...

I have a Keston Celsius 25 and it's been ok! Well,sort of. Been in for 6 years. It went to lockout with red diagnostics a couple of times and I found the condensate trap was full of cr*p so I cleaned this out and didn't have a recurrence. I also found the auto airvent inside started shipping...

You need to drain down the system. Find the feed and expansion cistern(in loft?) and close off the isolation valve to this.If it's not got one you will need to shut off the mains at your internal/external stoptap. You may or may not have a drain-off point downstairs or under the floor...

See if you can push down on the pin-it should move a few mm at least.if it's stuck down you may have to try and free it off by pushing/pulling at it with some pliers.

Undo(turn anti-clockwise) the knurled chrome collar which is just below the thermostatic head.you might need some strength to do this.

<<The problem was, the service pipe into the building was black alkathene pipe, it was the first time I had seen this type of pipe before and was a bit wary to cut into it. >> Think the pipe is called Polyorc. Philmac do transitional couplings to connect onto it- look on their website...

My central heating system was upgraded five years ago and has worked fine since then. It still works okay but I encountered a problem today when I replaced a radiator. I have a sealed system (not a combi) working off a Keston Celsius 25 system boiler with separate pressure vessel , 2 zone...
