I have a question regarding an Intergas system boiler. The boiler has the ability to control a diverter valve using pins 5 and 6 on X2. The normal mode of operation is to open the diverter valve to Port A for CH. Can the boiler be configured to open the diverter to Port A for HW? So that with...

It's taken well over a year for me to get around to drawing this up, but I thought it might be useful for others to put down on paper my setup for an Avanta 18S boiler with an unvented cylinder and iSense RF. I've based my diagram on those provided by Remeha for other systems. The key...

I've just bought a Pura shower valve like the one shown here, but I'm now having second thoughts about fitting it. It seems to be poorly designed and leave a leak path through into the wall. The pictures below sum up the problem better. There is a simple metal to metal joint for part...

I'm looking for recommendations of pipe clamp/clip 'systems' for fixing copper pipes to a wall. Somewhere previously I've seen a photo of an installation using what looked to me like a Unistrut based system. I can't find the photo now, but it looked tidy. A search on Google brings up a number...

Having looked at the various options for boilers and controls I am keen to get the right controls as well as the right boiler. I’m looking for the option to have either control on room temperature or weather compensation. In both cases I want a control in the living room with a wireless...

Given the choice between a ecoTEC plus 618 or an Avanta 18s is one much better than the other? Everything I read says that the Vaillant customer support is awful although the boilers are good. The Remeha approach seems more helpful with a lot of information on their website. The Remeha...

Over the course of the week I changed my mind from fitting a heat only boiler and making minimal changes to getting an unvented cylinder fitted with a system boiler adjacent to it. Even with all the plumbing changes this is not significantly more work. I've measured the water pressure and...

I had planned to get an Ecotec 428 installed to replace an ageing conventional boiler. However having read many discussions yesterday on code S.53 I am having second thoughts. It looks as if the problem is the 428 heat exchanger that creates a high pressure drop and so the minimum flow is...

I am about to have a new Valliant boiler fitted to replace a reliable, but 20 year old boiler. Currently I have a CM927 for CH control and a 7 day Honeywell timer for HW (ST9100C). The system works well and the optimum start is great. I am considering whether to switch to the VRC430f as the...
