I sent my missus the bill but she told me to F off :D I'm still waiting for this to break again... Maybe it was a sticky switch. The ACF-50 seems to have cured it..... I'll post back if it goes wrong again.... Thanks again...

I'm currently waiting for it to go wrong again before I do the tests. Having sprayed the microswitch and the moving parts of the valve with ACF-50 wondering if it was a sticking switch, time will tell..

I'll have a look at that and post back later... Many Thanks....

Sorry, been out all day... I do have a multimeter......

Thanks for the response.... My problem is ; light on 2 port valve for cylinder is on, motor operating and valve is fully open. There is an intermittant problem of the boiler not getting any call to heat the water. Currently, after turning mains power off then on it is now working. This...

Does the motor on the 2 port valve continue to operate even when the valve is fully open and it can travel no further. I ask this because I have disassembled my 2 port valve to investigate why occasionally the boiler does not get a call to heat the water and noticed that even if I tape the...

Thanks for replys... however I think it might be something else, will post a new topic with problem....

Can I interchange the head with another make, don't want to drain down to replace... I've already replaced the motor on this valve so I think it's time to change. I can get Honeywell, Drayton, Siemens... Thanks..

I cut the leaking joint and used one of these.. http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Structural/Soil+Vent/Flexible+Connector+PVC+to+PVC+100mm+100mm/d210/sd2849/p25396 from toolstation to reconnect both pipes and it solved the problem so it was internal condensation leaking out all along... A...

I noticed that the Torbeck valve farts when shutting off. It's quite loud. I do not have any pressure regulator in the valve because its fed by the tank in the loft ( 2 storey house). Anyone know what causes it .. TIA

I bought a 15mm x 1/2" tap connector from screwfix with built in isolator which done the job.. thanks

I opened the Torbeck and it's partially fitted so I think I'm stuck with it. The question I'm asking is would a standard tap connector do it or are the sizes wrong... TIA

Hi I'm replacing the toilet cistern valve which is well past it use by date with a Torbeck Ecofil bottom entry valve.. The new Torbeck connector is shorter than the original by 5mm so i need to do a small amount of plumbing work to re-connect the cold feed. The pipe size is 15mm so i thought...

I'm confident it's condensation for the following reasons. The leaking joint is a few feet above the toilet so it cannot be from waste water.. The pipe is dry above the joint The joint itself is not dry an the clamp on the joint is broken I think its forming where the cold air from...

I need to cut a 110mm soil pipe and re-connect using a flexible connector. Toolstation sell 100mm and 150mm flexible connectors http://www.toolstation.com/documents/search/index.html?searchstr=flexible+connector&submit=Go I'm confused about sizing. Would the 100mm work for me. I have...

Thanks .. I wiggled the ball valve and the noise went away and has not returned ( 2 months ago) Good luck

I have 2 toilets connected to a common plastic inspection chamber downstairs, I believe the bath and sink also connect to this, The outflow from this got to a shared drainage manhole outside that has 4 houses connected to it including mine.... The other houses have vents. Is it enough that...

Fortunately I do have a multimeter but didn't need it because my valves have an led that indicates when open. So I operated the valve manually and the led lit up and everything started up as normal. So I knew the motor was receiving power.. Good luck..

I had an issue recently of a valve not working. Turns out it was the motor so I replaced it with a motr from Screwfix.. http://www.screwfix.com/prods/28670/Plumbing/Central-Heating-Controls/Synchronous-Motor I have Myson valves but it still worked a treat, a bit cheaper than a new valve and I...
