All (i.e. 1stWorldClassPlumbers :D) Okay, just got back from Warrington to buy my good lady a cake stand. What's that got to do with plumbing? Er, nowt - I'm just excited that I got her a marvellous cake stand for Christmas and I just know she's been after a quality one for months. I...

Er, let me hold off on the trip to the Merchants for a second. The existing pump is labelled "circulating pumps" CP63. Will my DAB VA55/130 head go onto the existing pump (as ChrisR was talking about)? That'd save me a lot of bother. Maybe I can just pack the leaking gate valve (that's...

Hi GasGuru, EliteHeat, ChrisR Well, I must say there are some extremely knowledgeable and helpful people on here. The least we amateurs can do is tip our hat to the professionals. I've been reading this forum for a while now, and I recognise your names and know there is a sense of real...

Elite! Oh, yeah - it's rather amusing I must admit. :lol: I've just got back from the last theory lesson at St. Helens College before the Christmas break. Being the last lesson, the instructor didn't talk about cold water (as planned) but we sat about discussing my pump problem (and the...

Okay, hopefully someone is feeling the season of good will to all men :) So, what fitting do I need (in addition to the gasket and nut I already have) to allow 22mm copper pipe to enter a circulating pump? I've drained down, so hopefully YOU ( :lol: ) will post. Martin.

Hi All, I've ordered the parts I think I need to replace the existing pump that has failed. I'm referring to the circulator in the airing cupboard. I have a system that has a CWSC and a F&E tank in the loft - also an indirect hot water cylinder. I've taken delivery (from www.bes.co.uk)...

Hi All, I thought as much that the drain cock fits into a tee. I was looking at this drain cock: http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=65868&ts=69028 and wondering how on earth it would fit into this tee: http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=45755&ts=69078 I now...

Hi, Forgive my ignorance! I'm just about to order all the fittings I need from screwfix for an outside tap. I'm following the instructions in the Collins DIY manual and will be using compression/push fit. I have my eye on these drain cocks...
