I'm boarding out the attic of a new extension as a hobby room. I've fitted a 'garage' consumer unit up there with a ring main (5 double sockets) and a lighting circuit. I intend to feed the fuse box with the original, now unused 6mm shower supply but it needs extending from where the shower was...

:wink: thanks for the replies guys are there standard radiators (i know some "designer" ones do) available with connections pointing down as the leccy boxes are plumbed from the bottom the loop of pipe would have to make quite a tight 'S' shape to come round and enter the TRV from...

I'm in the process of an extension, the plumbng first fix has gone in and the pipes to the rads are 10mm plastic and terminate sticking out from a leccy backbox, central behind where the rad goes. I haven't seen any piping done like this and was wondering what path the pipes take to the rad...

sorry to hijack your thread but it may help us both ;) how big is a HDMI plug and would it fit through 21mm overflow pipe used as conduit, if i was to install it behind the dry lining before its plastered? :)

I hear Danfos and Drayton should be avoided if I want reliable heat each Autumn. I'm about to replace the existing manual valves with 10x TRVs can anyone suggest the best buy? forgive me for using the 'S' word but Screwfix are doing 10x terrier Pegler for £96.20 or Honeywell at £55 for...

Hello again! just though i'd update the power shower situation... I bought a 3 Bar pump off ebay and fitted that and was slightly happier with the results but still thought it was lacking something... :( then went down stairs to find the pump was leaking from the body when it was...

Thanks Bon! I'm pretty sure the lack of "power" for the shower is down to the pump My intension is to get a 3 bar pump and swap them over If the plumbing turns out not to be suitable then a york flange it is - at least now i know whats available (BTW a quick google search found one at...

sorry about the quality of the pic but thats exactly what it is! as installed in a new build 11 years ago i knew there was a reason I didn't use a surry flange and I wasn't just being lazy :P

you have now :wink: filters were clear :) just to recap as a shower it is fine, as a POWER shower it's crap from the advice here and what I've read since starting this thread, I think I'll be fitting a bigger pump and keep my fingers crossed the tee off the hot pipe will be adequate...

I've just found the showerforce installation guide... http://www.showerforce.com/ntpages/404-0504.pdf/$FILE/404-0504.pdf page 3 shows the hot tee'd into the hot pipe as i have installed it :? would i be correct in saying this may be ok for a small pump but could cause prombems as...

the area is a soft water area so no problems with limescale I fitted the pump a while ago but only just finished the ensuit so I'll have to check the plumbing but I'm pretty sure the reason I didn't use a surrey flange was because the cylinder doesn't have a threaded boss at the top ...

I haven't checked but will do Yes, between the pump and flexibles (13mm bore) connected to the shower but as the runs are fairly short I'd have thought the pipe work after the mixer would be the worst case (wall plate elbows) this is what I'm thinking but posted the initial question to...

fair enough, but the cold is a dedicated line and there is no change in shower operation when turned to just cold :)

:?: as opposed to...? as i understand it teeing into this pipe is not incorrect - its effectively 22mm from cylinder to pump :?

My local council web site has recent planning applications listed and even has downloads for the submitted drawings! cut and paste - job done :wink: :)

Thanks for the reply :) The shower head is pretty standard 3 mode head the hot is tee'd into the 22mm feed from the top of the cylinder at a point just lower than the bottom of the cylinder - maybe not as good as a dedicated feed from a surrey flange connection - I haven't tried it with...

I've installed a 1.5 bar pump under my hot water cylinder, the cold tank is above in the attic both connected with 22mm pipe reduced at the pump to 15mm inlets. the shower is back to back with the airing cupboard, 2m max from pump to shower, each outlet (15mm) passes through a 90 degree elbow...
