Cheers danny will get on it when I get home

Thank you Mandate and Picasso for the explanation and the picture. Makes sense now so much appreciated

Hi, basically I'm reading up about Y plan systems and got my missis to take a pic of our airing cupboard layout (as I'm away working) So the airing cupboard is on the first floor, boiler downstairs. Now the picture ive posted shows the pump and layout, and the arrow ive drawn on is the...

Thanks footprint "You say you were exercising the stop cock is it on at the moment does it leak?" ---- luckily it doesn't leak and still works (pure luck) "bush up to a 22mm valve and then down again." --------- Is this to get around the flow issue? (Excuse my lack of knowledge, I'm learning...

I'll have a look into it John but I wasn't planning on doing any big work. To be fair the previous owners didn't tile under the oven so even though it looks like a building site, the rest of the kitchen is fine, the stop tap is hidden behind the oven, which is a pain

Cheers John you've been a great help mate. The floor is already laid unfortunately in the kitchen so laying plastic pipe underneath will be a pain right now. My water Co won't susidise the replacement of the lead pipe and couldn't afford to dog it up right now so at the minute it's a no go on...

John ive already got a combi and the flow seems ok (haven't measured or tested) So touch wood the pipe isnt bent or crushed... yet! If I was to fit a new cock above would it cause the flow to decrease at all? If it wasn't soldered at the bottom point to the lead I'd have a go at replacing it...

took me about five minutes to read and understand! So basically...the bottom of the stop cock is soldered to a length of copper pipe that is fitted into the lead pipe and if I protect the lead so as not to damage and burn it I might be able to get it off? I may go and see my armourer first and...

Yes John are you talking about the external stop cock? Mine (funnily enough as you mentioned it in your reply) is underneath some decking in my back garden, though the previous owners were kind enough to leave a hatch in the decking to get access but I haven't pulled it up to have a good look...

No mate I don't have a meter

Oh joy. Just phoned my water board about getting it replaced as I thought they were doing it for free but not the case. So with regards to the tap is there an easy way to get it off with only the one compression joint? Is there any difference as the pipe is lead? Or would it just be easier to...

Hi, I've just tried to exercise my mains stop cock and of course, ive sheared the head off it... My question is has anyone seen a stop cock like this before? There is a compression nut above it but nothing below so how do i remoce it? Also, I know it's a shoddy picture but does it have a lead...

Dan_Robinson - Makes sense about the cistern water level and the height from the outlet. Obviously I know I'm not learning the conventional way so thank you very much for your help. Flameport - Also mate thanks for the heads up. The books I'm reading are a bit all over the place with regards to...

Hi, I have looked through a few of the threads and googletastic but no such luck in answering this probably simple question so please may someone help. In an indirect vented system, cold water storage tank in the loft, hot water vessel on the first floor, is the head from the cwsc usually...
