You could use a sectional aluminium radiator, which would fit the pipe spacing and give more output per unit area than steel or stainless steel rad.

Hi Harry, Thanks for the reply. Can I jsut check please, as all the keys I have come across are of the square socket type, such as this one at Screwfix: https://www.screwfix.com/p/rothenberger-4-way-radiator-services-cabinet-key/84379 Where as the Pegler valve seems to a partially circular end...

How do you turn a lockshield ball valve please? The valve is a 1/2" Pegler as per photo: Pegler suggest their own lockshield key, as per photo: I have tried a rad key, but these don't fit. Do I have to buy a Pegler key? And if so, where from please? (I have tried searching but could not...

Just trying to understand the options and what might work. So could go for either depending upon advice.

I think it may or may not work, hence I was hoping for an experienced professional to guide us. I have read the Pyronix Deltabell-X datasheet and it states: “We do not recommend red, black, blue or chrome covers with any backlight options.” As the term Pyronix have used is recommend, it could...

Hi Sparky, We would like the black base and cover, so wanted to check if this would still be visible please? What I meant was, whilst it might not be as bright as say a white cover, one with a black base and cover would still be visible :) Thanks Craig

Hi, We are having a new alarm installed and wanted some advice on the colour options for the Pyronix Deltabell. We want the alarm to be visible at night, but does not need to shine out like a light :) If we had a black base and a black cover, would that still illuminate please? If not, would...

Hi, We have just bought a house and in the corner of the bedroom, between external wall (on left of photos) and internal wall to bathroom where the shower is on the other side, there has previously been a leak. Previous owners said it happened some years ago. My question is what is the...

I am hoping for some advice on if my idea on how to insulated my floor is ok please: I am replacing the flooring in my kitchen / diner, which is currently lino (kitchen) and carpet (diner), with engineered wood. Total area approx 9 m2 The floor itself is a screed over an un-insulated...

Thanks Alarm. Have soldered extension on, and all working. I will still need to re-route the cable from the 2 PIRs, to allow the correct laying of the new lino, as you correctly say. Though at least I can now route to a sensible place. A new cable run under the floor would I think be...

Thanks, traced connections. Cable from wall is from the main panel (which is why it has power). The cable that goes along the floor (that I incorrectly thought was from the main panel), goes to two PIRs. I want to re-wire properly. Would it be ok to extend the cable that comes out of wall...

I would suggest that you might also mention the limitations of password managers, that if you lose access to it, you lose access to all your systems; and that if anyone hacks your access to the password manager, then they will have access to all your passwords. Also a good presentation on the...

With a multimeter. I've taken the skirting off, and where the cables went into the wall, there is a third cable going into the wall, which has power. You are correct, the installation manual for the alarm only shows a 4 wire connection directly from the control panel to the RKP, there is no...

Thank you for the advice. I have disconnected the incoming cable that comes from the main alarm panel. However the cable that runs up the wall still seems to be attached to something in the wall, and still has power. The main alarm panel, which is downstairs, is powered up fine. It is on...

Am replacing the carpet in my bathroom (not with carpet!). When lifting the old carpet, I found a cable, which comes up through the floorboards under the sink, runs along the floor and into the boiler room. Lifting the old carpet in the boiler room to follow the cable, and found what you can...
