I need to fit some new taps in the utility room and have been looking on Screwfix Direct at flexible tap connectors. What is the difference between ordinary connectors and WRAS approved connectors and which should I buy? I also might re-plumb the outside tap to incorporate a Surestop water...

Just found this on Honeywell USA. Why can't we have this over here rather than ugly square boxes? more info here ___________________________ lynda, moderator link should be this

Hi, I want to replace an aging Randall 4033 Heating and Hot water prgrammer, see wiring diagram below, with a new electronic unit. As I don't want to chase any more wires into the tiled wall can anyone recommend an appropriate compatible replacement please? As there is a common...

Is this what I need for auto vents in the loft on my HW and do they leak/drip at all that might require some for of tray siliconed around the pipes? http://www.heatingcontrolsonline.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=29&products_id=183 Thanks

A friend without internet has a Hawk II combi. All through the summer he has had hot water OK. He's just put the heating on and to start with he has heat and water but he hasn't got any hot water when the heating has been on for a couple of hours. If he turns the heating off he can get hot...

I wanted to install an Aqualisa Quartz power shower but there is no practical way of getting a 50 gal tank in the loft to replace or join to my feeble thing that holds about 10 or 15 gals. The way the rafters are and the position of the loft hatch I would have to take a section of ceiling down...

I'm replacing all radiator valves and the tails seem to be squashed and slightly bent as though overtightened by a previous bod. I've had to cut most of the olives off, not a chance of sliding off and the old TRV's had a male thread backnut into a female valve body so can't be reused. Can I...

This is a silly question to all those that know the answer... I'm changing the TRV's and lockshield valves on my rads and moving the roomstat as per a previous post. Been to the shed for the lockshields today and had the choice of 15mm at £2.18 or 15mm 1/2 inch at nearly a fiver. I...

My roomstat is in my south facing lounge. There are TRV's in 2 bedrooms the hall, kitchen and bathroom. The third bedroom and of course the lounge do not have TRV's. As the sun heats the lounge very much would I be better off to relocate the roomstat to the hall (which runs behind all...

I'm about to convert a large hall cupboard into a new cloakroom with WC and basin. My consumer unit is located in this cupboard, do I need to have it moved because it will effectively be a zoned area or will boxing in be sufficient? Thanks.

I'm doing a bathroom upgrade and am going to fit an Aqualisa Quartz digital shower. At this stage would the pro's recommend changing my loft tank for 50 gallons + as I only have a 25 which isn't enough cold stored water and fitting pumped version of shower or changing my dhw cylinder for...

My old style phone master socket is stupidly situated in a kitchen cupboard. The drop wire comes in the loft and through the ceiling (bungalow) into a wall cupboard. If I re-wire this and substitute an nte5 (I have a collection of genuine ones raided from old offices when knocked about) would...

Further to an earlier topic of mine I've finally been up the loft armed with a magnet and sure enough I have a fatal attraction on the flow around the cold feed (not up the feed itself) which appears to be magentic for almost 6 inches upstream (boiler direction). I have been told on this...

Seriously....... Any recommendations about a half decent and cheap(ish) wet vac.

Hi This is my first house with central heating and I don't know whats right and what's not. In the attic the curved pipe over the little expansion tank is pouring water into the tank. Does this mean the water is only going round that bit and there is a blockage or should this be running all...
