    Can I ‘Throttle’ my stop cock?

    I may be saying something silly now but.... Surely anyone with a 30kw boiler that has a flow rate of over 12 litres a minute on the hot tap will experience the hot water going cold. There must be an awful lot of people out there with high flow rates which their boilers can’t keep up with?

    Can I ‘Throttle’ my stop cock?

    thanks again. So, looking back to the stop cock issue, would it be safe/possible to throttle this to better control the flow throughout the whole house rather than fitting individual restrictors to taps? Thanks

    understood, so what should my x amount of litres per minute be on a 30kw combi? Should I be expecting more than 12 litres a minute?

    Can I ‘Throttle’ my stop cock?

    No hot water cylinder . We have a combi boiler that’s it. That’s another thing, the hot tap on the bath run colds when we put the tap fully open. It can handle around 12 litres and minute but any more then it goes cold. Is this normal for a 30kw combi? Thanks

    TV momentarily goes blank when lights switched on/off

    Tv goes completely blank so I’m guessing it loses power. The signal is coming from an Apple TV box and if that drops out the Samsung screen usually comes up saying searching for source and that does not happen. Not sure if it’s worth noting but I am running an extension of the other socket with...
