    Central Heating/ radiator question

    You can rule out the pump. If all your rads get hot with lever on manual circulation isn't the problem. The synchron motor inside the actuator (silver box) for some reason isnt opening the valve up fully. I would be inclined to change the whole valve. It wouldnt be a difficult job for a...

    Poor hot water pressure - dishwasher not working.

    Sounds like your new kitchen taps probably have 12mm flexi-pipes or possibly 15mm but are kinked. Check under the sink. Dishwashers are mains cold feed so any hot water supplied to it on a conventional system i.e; storage tank in roof with hot water cylinder simply will not have enough pressure...

    Removing a radiator - how to cap kuterlex 10mm

    If you cant get the seal on the header tank cold feed it doesnt matter how water you scoop out the tank. Air will still get into the system and thus empty the contents of it all over your kitchen floor. An air lock is quite correctly called an airlock because air cannot get in the system...

    Draining CH system to replace rad valves - please help!

    Turbo Max's usually have an in built filling loop which you should be able to identify by a grey handle. Just turn it and possibly another one connected with it 90 degrees to re-pressurise system after you have drained it. They are found under the boiler. Not at all uncommon for monkey...

    Old Twyford Toilet needs syphon replacing....

    Dudley turbo the ways to go. On an old twyford it wont matter what height the syphon is. I allways go for the 9" and then adjust the floatvalve down, still got loads of water volume. Some times a bit of a pain removing the handle cam though, although its still possible to unhook the cam from...

    Connecting to Cast Iron Soil Pipe

    There's no way now or even in the future that you could drill into a 4" c.i. stack to accommodate a 4" branch. Physics just wont let it. Even if you could drilling a c.i. pipe with that size hole would be a nightmare from inside the building! Bite the bullet and except your going to have to...

    Removing a radiator - how to cap kuterlex 10mm

    Re the expansion tank, if I follow your instructions then I will: 1. turn off the cold feed to the tank, 2. put a bung in the tank at the exit pipe to stop any feed from the tank to the system, and 3. also bung the vent that comes back over the expansion tank. You shouldn't need to turn...
