Thanks for all of your help. Shall i measure as close as i can as 1st suggested by measuring the distance from the valve, etc, then drill the holes and plug them in the centre of the fixing line through the bracket, then ive got movement either way if i need it - and then fully tighten the...

Ok thanks - i will do this - shall i measure from the top of the valves? if i am say a mm out will it make a big difference, or does it have to be 100% exact. I will try and get it exact anyway.

Hi Sorted out my blocked cold feed last thursday evening, and now have 1 other job to do - am replacing my bathroom radiator as it was dripping from the bottom. All the others are fine, and I have inhibitor in the system again and gave it a good flush through the other night also. I have...

It's ok i get ya too-it must have not been 100% blocked to allow circulation through then??

Where the short horizontal piece of 22mm pipe joins the cold feed, this section has the boiler water going through it. This is where the blockage is.

Ok thanks, i'll cut in to the affected pipe, use a compression tee and a straight connetor to re-join with fresh pipe. The cold feed, although was blocked, must have allowed some pumped water from the boiler through though, as the downstairs radiators and hw are OK and must have had some...

I am very greatful to you for your guidance here. Will i need to drain a lot or the whole of the system from the low level drain valve, as when I cut in I don't want a lot of water shooting back up? when I cut the old pipe out and add a new section, i will probably use a compression join is...

it sticks close to where the 15mm pipe comes down and a small section of horizintal 22mm pipe joins it, the 22mm small horizontal section joins another tee piece and 22mm pipe goes up and down from there, i think maybe to the vent and the lower part up from the boiler?? will i need to drain...

Oh yes i understand now - it us lower in fact and that explains it. Ok i have a fridge magnet, do i put it on the suspected blocked area of the pipe-should there be a strong hold ? what are the signs to look out for ?

I think I have the dreaded blocked cold feed. I have read the FAQs and still have a few q's: i have vented the higher level radiators and no water, well a little dribble then stops. What sort of magnet can i use to detect excatly where the blockage in the pipework is? how comes the hot water...
