i would be very careful setting the cylinder at a set point of 65 degrees c,at that temperature 3rd degree burns occur in about 2 seconds . Set at 60 degrees 90% of any bacteria are killed after 2 minutes.

What type of system have you got, have you got a combi, system, open vented , is it microbore, ? With microbore the feeds can easily get airlocked and with you just moving in you won't know any work that could have been done , are the rads downstairs, that could be a pump issue , could it be...

The point I was trying to make, the lad is obviously trying to do things right and seems like he wants to learn so all the comments made are valid but for instance, some flux's can't be used on potable water, some guys insist on using leaded solder but again can't be used on potable water, the...

It may be worth a look on YouTube there are quite a few soldering tutorials, tom's tips is worth a look as he seems quite a character.

Could be the trv's are stuck in the closed position, try taking the thermostatic head off and press the pin, if it does not move , its in the closed position, try gently tapping it , the valve that is, not the pin to see if it will free off, also check the lock shield valves are open.

I've fitted a few and so far no problems, their sales pitch is only 4 moving parts, so in theory less to go wrong, also no failures on main heat exchanger on all the ones in service. I must admit I do like them.

Hi , my son asked me to have a look at his central heating , no hot water or heating, he could see the pilot light was lit but nothing seemed to be working, I had a spare pump so I took it with me, sure enough the pump was hot but not turning ,I could not get it to turn using the vent screw...

When i did my practical ,one of the faults was 2 draught diverters on the same boiler,easy to miss if your brains fried from all the written papers.

I,d defo go with the grinder, using heavy gloves ect.I use 1mm thick discs,also would drill out the cement in the collar[carefully]. I don,t know if i,m seeing things but on the photo the existing cast looks cracked.

Aspon monoblock vertical kitchen mixer fd1335f.The first time it tasted of machine oil,which i took as from the production process,now tastes of rubber ,not that you would drink it,getting water to drink from other tap.

Hi guys,just wondering whether any of you have come accross this,the wife purchased a set of kitchen taps from off the net,appear good quality,i fitted them ,no problem,run the water,test pipework ect,ok.I later poured a drink,o my word i thought i,d been poisoned it tasted that bad.4 days later...

I,d approach an installer first to see if he will connect to the pipes you installed,i suspect most people would only put in their own work.

no problems with mini benders.

With it being a recurring problem i was thinking is the bath supported properly,could it be flexing breaking the seal.

I purchased the british gas 'aspect big book of boilers' i found it very informative.i think there is now a volume 2,could be what you are looking for.

Before the boffins come with the maths.yes should be fine.

Whilst i accept i was not in full receipt of the correct information[post above] and this had somewhat turned me off flueless to the point i would not install them. i did fit one for a friend ,he had already brought it and dismissed my concerns.2weeks later i goes to visit him only to find the...

I stand corrected,but it goes to show NEVER cut corners.

With quite a few things liable to be used at the same time I would put 22mm in.The size of the pipe affects the flowrate not the pressure ie with 22mm, run a couple of appliances you probably would not notice the difference at the taps ect with 15 mm you would.Unless you have very high pressure...

Thats ok then ,i was worried that someone maybe getting you to spend money that you didnot need to.
