Yes. I also have a pressure guage in the airing cupboard with a fill loop. It's not a combi and I have no header tank.

I think that involves draining the system and this is a downstairs radiator. :(

So the myson adapter doesn't fit. If I were to push it down super hard and thread it on, it would be permanently shut fully off after only a couple of threads. If I put the head on after that it can't work as the pin wouldn't budge. Thanks yeah that does look like the one. I wonder why they...

Thanks, I ordered one of the myson adapters and a 30mm Myson head to see if this works. I don't know if normal decorators caps will fit but I can try and get one and see too.

Thanks but all the decorator caps appear to be 30mm threads. I guess 28mm must be unusual and possibly older now, even though this rad would have only been installed around mid naughties. They are completely different Danfoss ones without a threaded collar. Instead they have 4 point clip on...

I have this TRV in my house but it has never had a top head to it since we moved in. I want to buy one so I can turn the rad off to remove it. The measurements are 15mm pipe work, 28mm main large thread, 19mm across the large hex and 12mm across the internal small hex head bit. I think it is...

Can you define "work" on "it". I can't do what to what specifically? Say I want to change a tap cartridge or head...is that "working on it" ? Thanks for your help.

Hi, just moved into a new house (EDIT: 5 bedrooms if this helps understand system type) and we have some plumbing issues and questions. I think I need to try to understand my setup a bit to know what I can/can't attempt myself and to try to troubleshoot things. I don't know a lot about these...

True. Also if I spend any more time/love/care on the garage I might get sick of the wife reminding me that..."it's a garage" :)

The primer I used as directed on the pack and applied it to my original concrete garage floor. Then I did the self leveling compound. It's definitely got much harder now it's a week later. Maybe it was due to the fact we put it down in very hot weather it affected it. Maybe it took longer to...

Sure. I used water and mixed exactly as per pack not adding any additional water. It seems to have hardened up now but has some minor cracks. I wonder whether I should put down a new, fresh, harder compound on top of it thinly to finish it and take the risk, or rip it all up.

Thanks Chris. I bought the yellow one as was universal and did not need it to be a particularly high application. Slightly concerned that it is advertised as "Light Duty Areas" and prior to laying a floor. Maybe I should have gone with High performance.

Yes it said to use within 9 months of the date. It is a bit over but does this really make a difference? Why does it "go off" so to speak? EDIT: Checked this morning which is about 36 hours since it went down and it is a little bit harder it seems. Hmm.

Actually upon further testing I can dig up any section with a metal object. If I drop a steel rule on its corner it will stick in it and stand up. I can physically crumble up the leading edge on the garage entrance as well. So are they designed to be like this and gain strength from tiles on top...

My garage floor is an old concrete scree which is very uneven and with nobbly ridges and bumps. I wanted to level it so... I used Setcrete Universal Floor Levelling compound in 20kg bags. I used the official Setcrete High Performance Acrylic primer with it. I primed thoroughly and left it...

Hey all. I pointed the gaps in some patio slabs yesterday and left it a few hours. In the evening I gave the garden a water and due to the fall unfortunately the water ran over them and settled well into the evening I would think. So the slabs are now stained. Any chance this would ever come...

Thanks :)

I was confused based on the diagram provided with the switch. It showed how to wire it up using ceiling roses and with an additional 3 gang in the loop which I obviously wasn't using. From the diagram it made it look (to me) that the (L) was only required if using an additional 3 gang elsewhere...

Hi. I thought it would be best to explain this one with pictures mainly. Objective is to wire up 3 new LED batten lights in the garage. I bought a 3 gang 2 way metal switch to wire them all into but when I finished the job, if the fused switch in the box below the 3 gang is turned on, all the...

OK I think I have in error been looking at fittings that are only T8. I assume unless stated, they are all T8. Where as T5 ones state they are T5. That changes everything as the T5 ones I am finding are more than LED! I clearly need to research this a bit better...
