Thanks. Now, what's next to pick apart. Anyone got any comments on manifolds to use? I was looking at something simple, compression fitting, without any valves to reduce the possibility of something going wrong. Sorry for basically asking people everything but I'd rather learn from other peoples...

Just out interest, have you fit any of these? I take it the other end from the pushfit end just sits into the TRV. Does it need an insert or just an olive over it and the compression nut?

I'm afraid of children's feet on the push fit fittings. I know they should hold if locked in place but ... I dunno. I agree, the push fit fitting you linked would be much neater and probably just work aswell. At the moment I'm making my shopping list and trying to think through any potential...

Eell spotted, hadn't thought about it. I'm trying to avoid the push fit fittings and have as few joints as possible. I may have to revert to a standard chrome elbow with a small piece of plastic or copper to the TRV. Any comments on whether that would work or if there is another solution outside...

The link you posted gives a 404 error but that is the website I found the compression elbows on with the swivel. I would have hoped to get some local but not an issue to get from Ireland (clue's in my name as to why not). Do you see an issue using them...

Thanks for the posts PullerGas, yes that's along the lines of what I've been told. 10mm pipe, 8mm bore. I was hoping to go up to 15mm pipe, speedfit to allow water to the radiators faster and all going well they heat up faster (in theory, I realise there are other factors, happy for folk to...

Thanks, I had been thinking I'd need a 25m with the 50m but was just going to pick it up as I go along. Not a massive trek to Wickes and the runs aren't massive. The manifold is pretty central and the rads are on internal walls around and beneath the manifold really. Any thoughts on JG speedfit...

I'm not planning on using copper or changing anything at the boiler end so wont need to solder from my understanding. All compression fittings onto plastic piping. I've already had sign off from my wife to take the heating out for a few days. Planned to just loop the 22mm feed and return from...

Hi Guys, thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of the intergas boilers that fit to an open vented system, I'll put that down to the plumbers not advising on it. Still due to the stories we've heard about the acorn piping and also the way some of it is fitted (kinked in some sections) and the fact...

Current setup is two seperate manifolds (well currently a single and 6 way manifold in series connected to feed and another of the same connected to return. Plan is to replace them with two sets of 4 or more manifolds in series in the same setup. I'm not really looking to change the...

Hi all, I've read forum posts on DIYnot for a good few years now, searching usually finds the answers I've wanted so far but I'm after a bit of advice on how to proceed with a bigger job now really. I know there will be some opinions based on my diy approach but I'm happy to listen to all to get...
