Hi NickStone, Yes, I know how old this post is but is your house intact or did the bathroom fall through to the ground floor? I ask because I'm facing a similar problem.

Thank you Sparkymarka, I don't understand what a part entry means but I'll give it a try. For the sake of my neighbours I won't risk it until daytime tomorrow. Barry

Sorry for the delay Sparkymarka, both have plastic covers (does that affect the way they work?) and both are 24s. I'm sure the firmware is different but it seems odd that Texecom would program them to produce the differences I'm seeing in view of the potential of one replacing the other when...

Thanks for the reply Sparkymarka. A Texecom Premier. Barry

Hi all, I've set up a Texecom Premier Elite panel. Upstairs there are two PIR sensors, downstairs there are three doors with magnetic sensors, three PIRs in different rooms plus one PIR on the stairs which covers the back hall and back door (which has one of the magnetic sensors). I...

Hi all, I'm a diy person. I fitted a Texecom Premier in my house ten years ago and it worked fine. Recently during the process of setting up a new tag it went wrong and after professional advice I bought a new Premier Elite panel, which after quite a struggle (old age, stupidity and difficulty...

Hi Muggles, You seem to know about radiator valves. Would you be prepared to identify this one for me, please? Best regards, Barry

Hooray! Thanks for letting me know Alec-t. Now I wonder if someone will be able to identify it. At least folk now have a chance.

Thanks for that flameport. I did a "copy photo" though, not copy link and when I view this page I get the image not a link to click on. I've tried to drag and drop but that doesn't seem to work - it drags OK but won't drop and I looked at the whole album thing before I started posting but...

Thank you Gasguru, Flameport and denso13. Hmm. I didn't use an external site. I did paste it into the thread directly from my Google photos and it is still showing on my computer. I'll try pasting it here:- It is visible to me. I hope it is visible to others now.

I have done several internet searches to try to identify it to no avail. The shower was getting cooler by the day requiring the temperature tap to be turned up and up. I suspect that the thermostatic valve needs cleaning but I would like to find out what valve it is in case I need spares. I...

Hmm. Well no help from the experts then but I did fill the void with expanding foam (after spraying some steam in to dampen the inside of the walls for better adhesion). I then cut through the wall with a jig saw using a long sharp blade -possibly a Bosch T101B. It all went very well. The wall...

I need to shorten a lath and plaster wall. As you might guess where I need to make the cut is not where there is an upright! One side of the wall is in the bedroom so is accessible whereas the other is in the airing cupboard and I would dearly love to avoid taking this to pieces to add...

I've just had a garage built onto the back of my property. The toilet window (600 mm X 650 mm) opens into the garage but it needs to be replaced by a fire rated window with no opening. I previously fitted all eleven UPVC windows into my home (except the bay which I wimped out on) but I...

May I belated add my two penn'orth to this now old thread? Who knows it may help others since I have consulted this page many times over the years. As others have said the thermocouple voltage is only about 28 mV off load and 13 mV when in circuit. I don't know what electronics in the gas...

Thanks Secureiam, Yes, sadly it was lack of knowledge rather than an effort towards sophistication which caused this DIYer to create more than one user for Wintex then having done so I was stupid enough not to note what I had done. Luckily although the short term memory let me down initially the...

I have fitted and commissioned (more or less – it is in a working state), with a little help from my friends on DIYnot, a Texecom Premier 24 with keypads, proximity tags, PIRs and magnetic door sensors. I’m now considering adding some facility for notifying me remotely, probably on my mobile...

Thanks secureiam. I had in fact opened the account but somehow I'd not logged in as a user who had any useful rights. As I said when I modified my post, as soon as I'd posted it came to me that I might have used a different name and password. Once I tried this everything was hunky dory. All is...

SORRY AND THANKS. I'VE NOW FIXED THIS. Forgot my other login name with overall control. Once I stopped worrying and asked you folk it came back to me! I've searched the forum but can't find an answer but apologies if I've missed something. I've eventually fitted a Texecom Premier 24 with 3...

Thanks Whitespirit66 I've just realised (Doh!) the wireless thermostats have timing controls built in and the receivers don't have to be visible so presumably I can turn the TRVs full up, rewire to run the zone valves off the receivers, which can be out of the way, and replace the old...
