I've fitted a few of these Viva Skylos and initially all is fine. Had a problem now with a second one which is only about a year old where the valve is not seating back down properly again. So overflowing into the pan like crazy. Manually pushed down and all is fine. The rubber seal seems...

Trying to adapt an NPT 3/4" male thread to BSP for a water connection. While there are numerous adaptors in the marketplace, I understand NPT threads are typically tapered. The one I want to connect to uses a parallel thread and needs sealing by a rubber washer. Any ideas where it could be...

Anyone know which WC inlet valve washer this is? Approx diameter is 22mm

Anyone ever fitted a Duravit Monobloc basin mixer tap? The hole in the basin is 35mm which I assumed was standard. The tap's base has a diameter of 46mm but the rubber washer they provide with it makes no contact with the porcelain when affixing. The metal base does. Solutions?

Shower enclosure already tiled. Looking for an enclosed shower mixer but with pipes going out of the back, as I have access to the other side of the wall (cylinder cupboard). So want to run them that side clipped up. Wall is about 130mm thick with tiles. All the ones I can find just assume the...

Hi All, I did a search before on here but still can't get a resolve. Porcelain plank style tiles. When using my small wetsaw the edges leave tiny chips on the finish. Doesn't matter if the tile is up down etc. Tried a new blade that claims to be thinner and gives clean cuts. Same issue. Using a...

Looking to install a towel radiator and running the pipes. Are there set standards for pipe width so I can set the pipes in position before buying the radiator? I see there are typical widths like 450mm, 500mm and 600mm etc. Are the pipe widths also standard for these? Also seen another...

Hi All, Have a foul waste drain running down the side of the house. Have 3 inspection covers along the run. The last being a metre from the pavement where the final clay pipe runs to the road. It was built up with solids and quite dry looking like there hadn't been much movement for a good...

Hi All, As title, got a fascia board on the house which was installed as two boards. Where they meet obviously leaves a crack over time regardless of using filler etc. Is there a way to tie the two boards together in situ? Like maybe some kind of clip that can be embedded across them? Cheers

Biasi Advance 30C. Uses one of those new electronic detect flow switches clipped onto the pipe. Blue plastic with a small pcb showing a few transistors. Even though the hot tap has been turned off, the boiler is still showing as tap open (flashing tap icon) and continues heating it until max...

From what I've read this is possibly a pump failure but not sure. Could it be something else? Tap hot water comes out then cools...heats again....cools and then boiler goes into error 14. Boiler is a Biasi Advance 30C 30KW Combi.

Hi All, Had an EICR test done. Few things failed which I understand fine. However, the guy inspecting also said I need to make an earth bonding to a metal stopcock that has plastic pipe either side. This is the mains water stopcock coming from a mains plastic pipe. Is this the case? Thanks.

Hi All, Have various metal light fittings, mains sockets and light switches in property. I wanted to check if the earth wire has been connected to the metal fitting itself. Is there a way to test this without having to open all of them up? Thanks

As title - after a combi boiler is totally switched off (CH has been on) after what amount of time would you expect condensate to stop dripping? Thanks!

Biasi model M110B.32SM/C Well maintained boiler. Works most of the time but sometimes when turning the hot tap on it won't ignite. When it works it's very quiet and is sweet as a nut. Well serviced, regular new inhibitor etc. You can see it going through the ignition sequence making various...

Does anyone know if a central heating leak could be detected through floorboards using a thermal image sensor? Just want to save ripping up all the floorboards. Thanks!

Hi All, Back after a long while. Have a multi-point lock on a front UPVC door. It's an unusual system where you turn the key itself several times to move the multi-point system instead of lifting the handle. When opening the door from the inside with the handle it's no problem at all on the...

Hello All, Biasi Combi 24C. When turning tap on the pin from the diverter valve pushes out but not enough to activate the microswitch. The system is clean, no crud. Have changed the diaphragm. The pin otherwise is smooth and not restricted when pressing by hand. Have even changed the...

Hi Everyone, I'm helping out an elderly relative where this RCBO keeps tripping. It's a MK 7932s Regardless of whether all items it supplies are on or off it will either stay on for about 5 mins and then trip...or just trip immediately. So I'm assuming it's a fault with the RCBO itself? I've...

Hi All, Ideal Isar. Water leaking but boiler pressure fine. Water pooling in chassis tray below main HE. When feeling at the back of the burner cover ledge it is also wet. I'm familiar with the traps getting blocked but that is certainly clear and very little water comes through condensate...
