Hi Guys, Any thoughts on how to drain a megaflow without a drain cock? The bloody idiots who installed it years ago neglected to put one on and just put the inlet control set straight onto the inlet of cylinder!!!! Not to mention the cold PRV does not discharge into the tundish but goes...

hi Guys, I need to run a waste pipe from a macerator (no option and tried to talk them out of it!) from understairs and run along the joists in the ceiling and also run a shower waste from the upstairs bathroom along the same route. My problem is i cant fit the shower tray and toilet etc...

Have you checked that the pipework is definately gravity for hot and cold? The last one of the those i worked on works on the venturi principle so the pipework you have is unbalanced supplies, the cold will be mains which pulls the hot gravity through giving a pretty deecent shower...

Hi Charnwood, Yep, thats the stuff

Thanks for the reply, apart from the pipe clips, which i was unaware of being available for the conduit pipe i already know all the items you have mentioned. I thought my question was pretty easy really, i just want to know does the conduit make the polypipe more rigid than polypipe without...

Hi Guys, Has anyone used this in 15mm before? Just wondered as it is designed to go into a screed floor, does it lay flatter and more rigid than normally polypipe when rolled out? Just thinking of getting it to lay flatish and straightish before the floor is screed. Welcome any comments...

No more response then Tony!!

How do i not understand dynamic flow rate then? Read the post again and you will see that the ONLY outlet to the property is one outside tap that has been left live for the builders. Pretty hard to measure dynamic with no other outlets to open, unless you know something i dont?

Hi Guys, Just after some advice/clarification Customer wants a 42cdi installed for a house with two bathrooms. Most of the house is a new build extension, so when i went out the only water point was an outside tap that i rigged up for the builder to use during the work. I measured...

Just a thought, have you checked your roof tank to ensure it is refilling ok? Could be that your ball valve is not working properly and you are draining the tank? worth a look me thinks :roll:

Hi, I am helping out the old man, who wants to remove his postage stamp area that is his lawn and lay a patio. as mentioned the area is quite small. Just after some pointers really, I would remove all turf with a shovel, and remove any weeds etc. The ground is really hard so dont think...

Adrian, thanks for link, but page is not found, can you do again please. Looking for something as cheap as chips. It will never be used, as there is no head height for a shower, however, the custard wants one, so i have to find one!!!

Hi Guys, am looking for a shower screen, the max height i have due to the bathroom ceiling slope is 1.3m. Cant find a screen this height, although there was a folding one there when i refurbed the bathroom so they ust exist! Dont care if its one piece or folding, just need to find...

Ok, having seen loads of recent threads on outside taps, rad valves etc........ Whats the weapon of choice? personally after using PTFE for a long time, i wont leave home with 55! much much superior to PTFE with the obvious benefit of being able to 'back off' without leaking. Never had...

I am afraid to say, Yes it is notifiable, they will want to inspect anything to do with waste and drainage, not to bothered about the hot and cold side of the plumbing though. You will also need extractor fans etc on the electrical side, all which needs to be carrried out by a qualified...

Have sent a S****y email to Mira. Thats not a bad idea, will talk to my local merchants and see if they have a tel number for a local rep. thanks

Thoughts on this please gentlemen if you please. Having installed a brand new out of the box expensive Mira Magna EV Pumped shower for a customer last week, it failed to work out of the box! Having fitted many of these in the past, I know that all electric and plumbing was installed over...

Unvented are DIY, you need an installer with the qualification to fit and maintain them.

May as well remove the w/m valve, replace with a backplate elbow and screw tap on, hopefully there will be enough 'flex' in the pipe to screw the backplate elbow to the wall? That way your tap is in your outhouse, is that what you want as you mention not wanting to drill through walls...........

Unvented all the way would be my advice if you have the required flow and pressure rates. You wont regret it.............. Option 2 would prob work out cheaper than option 2 at the moment, I cna buy stainless cylinders cheaper than copper due to the high copper prices. Good luck!
