I bought a Hansgrohe iBox from a seller who claimed it was brand new and never used—just something they bought for a project and didn’t end up installing. It was described as dusty from being in storage, which I was fine with. When it arrived, I wasn’t totally sure what a brand-new unit should...

Finally received the button to install the sheet. The plastic shank bit that goes into the drilled hole is just under 10mm (9.7mm) and the polycarbonate sheet says to make sure screw hole is 50% larger for thermal expansion. So should I drill a 15mm hole for each button?

Came across this product, it says chemical-free https://www.coopersofstortford.co.uk/toilet-descalers/

Thanks yes I meant the toilet Cistern as the hardware limescale seems to block up the rubber components too. Does that work on toilet cistern? Wont damage things?

does anyone know if there is any sort of product that one could potentially put into a cistern tank that helps reduce limescale in the water ? Like a tablet or something that lasts a while and just replace every so often? Thanks

Ptfe first then lsx smeared on top of ptfe or the other way round?

Thank you all for the help and advice. It’s all good now. I shut all the upstairs ones then bled the downstairs ones and they started warming up nicely now. Another question. all of the new tails that I put on the radiators where I wrapped ptfe tape around the thread before tightening all good...

Correct the rafters are coming from back to front but since my pergola is right next to my lean-to conservatory which has a roof and gutter I’ve made the fall to go towards the back as the rafters sit slight higher than the conservatory glass roof so the polycarbonate sheet will essentially...

So the edge strips I will prefit before putting the sheet on the rafters. But wanted to ask what for tips on how to actually screw it down onto the rafters since the sheet cannot be stepped on. I read some places that putting a plank of wood or something like a deck board to distribute the...

Thank you, will try this. yes. Thanks, I will try this too after I’ve completely shut the upstairs ones off and tried forcing the flow only through downstairs as suggested above. Thanks all

thanks everyone, I’ll try turn upstairs ones off and then see. Should I turn it off from the flow or the return on each radiator upstairs? Also, if it turns out to be out of balance. Is there an easy diy way to balance them again?

I have a Glow-worm Ultimate 30c boiler and recently re-plastered the upstairs and remove 4 of the old radiators that were upstairs 1st floor as they were really aged and looking tired. I purchased new ones matching exact size and all lined up. I purchased new valves and kept nut and olive on the...

The sheet seems to have the printed white film on one side. Which side faces down and which side faces the sky? Or does it not matter?

I ended getting the 10mm due to availability. I'm ordering these buttons to mount it. But the spec doesnt say what size i need to drill the hole: https://www.toolstation.com/solstice-polycarbonate-fixing-buttons/pAA593 The sheet instructions say that the drilled hole should be 50% larger than...

So I’ve taken delivery of the polycarbonate sheet and one of the points on the label says sheets stored outside must be protected from sunlight and rain. I’ve attached a picture. I don’t quite understand this part as this is the main reason for me installing a his to create a rain and sun cover...

I have a fused and switched 1g spur which is spurring from a mains socket that has been spurred before. From the switched and fused spur I have a 2.5mm2 twin and earth going approximately 70cm up a safe zone to one of the follow 1g BG usb socket. I will be only using this socket only for the...

Thanks for this, what intervals should these button style fixings be applied?

so my pergola basically starts immediately after my lean to conservatory which has nice steep gradient for water to run down. So since my pergola starts right after it and I essentially have a gutter where the conservatory glass roof is draining down to and the pergola sits just slightly higher...

It’s a partition wall with drywall on each side and secured the the metal stud frames

The 4 mains posts are 4x4 and rather stable and solid. They were dug and deep enough from what I remember and postcretee. Although they’ve weathered a bit but still solid. Been up ror for about 11 years now Then I then on the main cross beams I have to the rafter beams at intervals of...
