    why cant i install TRV's?

    Suggest that you need to install a pressure relief bypass valve. Sounds like you have only just enough water flow through the boiler when all rad valves open. Hope this helps. Rich

    50mm Central radiator valve

    I think that your only option is to find a cheaper version of the centre fixed valve. Try Danfoss VHS H-piece valve. Rich

    50mm Central radiator valve

    The central valve is for aesthetic reasons. You could use the end connections but you would have to plug the central connections, which may look untidy. Have you looked at other manufacturers such a Bisque or Zehnder? I think that the designer rads in B&&Q are made by Zehnder. Hope this...

    Worcester Danesmore 20/25 fault

    I thought that the capacitor also gave the motor a bit of extra 'oomph' to get it going? Rich

    Balancing with no flow/return access at boiler?

    I don't think that will make much difference. Rich

    Central Heating Knocking and banging after new radiator fit

    Could be TRV on wrong end as previously said. Some TRV's have an internal adjustment for flow or return operation. Could also be plastic pipe moving. Rich

    Low loss header diemensions

    Reading the OP's post again I have spotted my own error. The primary flow and return connections just need to be on the 'outside' of the secondary flow and returns. Rich

    Low loss header diemensions

    Don't think it matters much. I have seen commercial installations with connections only 200mm apart. The important thing is that the header is the correct diameter. The 'low' refers to low pressure loss which can be acheived by limiting the velocity of the water in the pipe to below 1.5m/s. Rich

    House very difficult to heat...

    You say that you only have 55c at the flow connection to your lounge radiator. There lies your problem This should be more like 70 or 80c. What is the temperature of the flow pipe from the boiler? Can you turn it up? You also have a TRV in the same room as the room stat. Turn this to max or...

    Why not just replace the existing pump with a correctly sized one? Much simpler. Rich

    2 x indirect unvented cylinders, problems?

    Just an observation that may help. If you want to fill a bath with 400litres of water at 45C then you need 280litres of water at 60C and 120litres of water at 10C. Also, consider if the bath and shower are likely to be used at the same time. Richard

    Problem with a replacement room stat

    I have a CM901 and I have noticed that the boiler and pump will run even when the room temperature is reached. I think that this is to do with the 'cycles per hour' setting in the CM907. I think that this is normal. If the room temperature is controlling accurately then I wouldn't worry. If...

    Oil Boiler Fumes - Intermittent

    Thanks for your reply oilhead. What could contaminant be? The tank is only about a quarter full and in cold garage so may be water in tank. Richard
