Question....... Would it be ok to take a hot feed from the hot outlet at the top of a hot water tank? I did read a on another post that it may drag air in.... What to stop it doing this from the top of the tank where a essex flange is fitted? (it maybe obvious but i don't know) Thanks.

Thanks, yes i know its maybe a bit wrong, but with all the experance someone must have used them Thanks

Hello all, Just a quick question, i'm about to buy one of these and would like to know why i should'nt buy one from h-i-e plumbing direct? :? Or why i should'nt buy one at all. I'm about to buy on-line, the site looks good - are they? thanks.

Thanks for your input, BUT after looking into it im going with good old copper. (that will put a smile on Kevs face), 1. Its cheeper than plastic. 2. The pump instructions say to keep all bends/joins 'as free flowing as possible' Why do people use plastic pipe? I can see it would have...

Hi all, im going to fit a surface thermo mixer shower and pump with chrome pipes coming down from the loft. I am planing to use plastic pipe for the rest of the fitting, 1. What is the best way to connect chrome plated copper to plastic, i was going to use compression or push, (hep02 sayes...

Cheers TexMex, yes we've done the ceiling - nice n white with recessed lights :) Thanks.

Its gonna be a vinyl / plastic type floor thing, the stuff on a roll- cushion stuff, (im not sure what its real name is).

Thanks, Is that because service vales are not really made for C/H systems? Tink i'll get some today. :)

Hello, were refitting our bathroom and are looking for advice. :? What order to do things in. Any help would be good. Im putting in the pipe work at the mo, but when that done we need to, 1. Fit a fitted WC and recessed hand basin. 2. Tile two walls. 3. Fit the bath. 4. Lay flooring...

Hi all, Im moving a towel rail in the bath room, and also running another radiator off it. It looks like the towel rail was fitted after the C/H system because the pipes come from the boiler upto the tank and they (who ever THEY are), fitted this rail to these pipes. The problem i have is the...

The taps i've got for my new bathroom have a small grub screw under the small colour dot (red/blue). They pop out, undo the screw - Bobs ur uncle. :)

Thanks for all your helps. I did ask about plastic, but some (kev) didnt think it was a good idea. So i've done it all in copper end-feed :) (hope it don't leak!)

Thanks.... Have you not seen the latest trend.. Underground baths.. :oops: Why don't people like BES tell you what this is for, so it don't embarrass people like me, and waste time for people like you. :)

Hi all, as some of you may know in refitting our bathroom, but need to know; :? 1. How do i know if i need to use DZR tap fittings?, (i was going to use compression) 2. Do i need to use Parallel or Taper thread on the bath/sink taps?

Hi guys, Thanks for all your help, but i think i've got it sorted. I have gas c/h boiler & hot water tank. The towel rail is plumbed into the c/h system on its own loop (maybe installed after), with 15mm pipe?? Why its gone onto 22mm i don't know, so ill get rid of the 22 and use 15, why not?

Mmmmmm.... Never thought to read ALL the instructions :oops:

Ahh. i c. That maybe why it seems to have a mind of its own. It comes off and on when when it wants. There don't seem to be a bleed valve either, is this normal? Also, as its not on the c/h system, does that mean i don't need to drain the c/h at all. Will i be able to move it when i turn the...

Cheers Brownie, do you have many friends. Tell you what, seeing as though there's no light at the mo i could make a ring of fire and leave the electric turned on..... I do like a challenge. :)

Thanks, no, its not lathe & plaster so thats no problem, And they are mains voltage. The thought about sticking them in was because i didn't know if the springs are man enough, and because they are mains voltage and the bulb come out from the bottom i shouldn't need to remove them. What do you...

I, sorry WE are fitting down lighters in our bathroom, the problem is that we've had the room re plastered and skimmed. on the ceiling they (the guys plastering), fitted new plasterer board up then skimmed it on top of the old ceiling, (is this right?). So will the down lighters fit into this...
