    K Type Copper?

    Its ¾ upwards, dont have a vernier guage though so cant get the exact measurement. Going to take a piece away with me to see if we can get something to fit it

    K Type copper? (duplicate thread, please see "plumbing and heating")

    Started a job today in a very old house and have come across what looks to be K type copper. The inner wall of the copper is extremely thick and nothing will take to it other than a transitional coupling which I cant use because it is on the hot and it cannot be guaranteed that it would hold. I...

    K Type Copper?

    Hi, i appreciate your reply but the thickness of the pipe is very much relevant. The fact that it is about 3mm thick means that I cant get any fitting over it, a standard 22mm olive is the exact same diameter and an imperial olive is far too small to get over it. What do you mean by solder a...

    Primatic cylinders

    Haha aye, an antiquated system that will probably go on to work for another 40 years without very much ever going wrong with it, reason being? Because there's less to go wrong. Jesus, I put a combi in maybe 7 months ago (converted a system!! Believe it or not, at the customer's request) Brand...

    Primatic cylinders

    Little extra? You clearly have not read my previous posts. The boiler that is in is in working condition, the cylinder costs £400 from my supplier, all the work that I will be doing can be done from the attic. What you're suggesting is that I condemn the working boiler, resituate it to a place...

    Primatic cylinders

    I would hope that by the show of posts that I've made to enquire about this system, it's workings and the best way to deal with it showcase the fact that I am not in fact, as you put it "running in and running out" but that I am giving quite a lot of thought to the job and the customers...

    Primatic cylinders

    I have learned from past experience that you are best to keep the system as near as the existing when replacing unless the customer states an interest in converting, then you can discuss with them the pros and cons of it. For one the existing boiler is obviously a heat only, and is far smaller...

    Primatic cylinders

    Well I got one from my supplier for about £400 which was only about £100 more than conventional combi cylinder. I don't have time to faff about and covert it and I just want the job done to be honest so I'm just replacing it like for like. The only advice I've had with regards these is to fill...

    Primatic cylinders

    Never soldered over a pinhole before to be honest and don't really have time to try it and then have it fail and have to resort to replacing it anyway. There's a motorised valve on this system and a programmer on the boiler which allows you to select hot water or heating separately and I have...

    Primatic cylinders

    I should have mentioned that the the Primatic that's in is a combination indirect cylinder. So no cold water storage tank, the combi fills both the hot water and the heating from the header

    Primatic cylinders

    Hi there thanks for the replies. Main reason for sticking with a Primatic is simply not having enough knowledge on how the system has been piped with regards motorised valves etc so I was wanting to keep it the same to make it simpler for myself. I had toyed with putting an unvented unit in when...

    Primatic cylinders

    I have had a look and seen some posts related to Primatic cylinders in the past but I just thought that I would see if anyone can offer any advice. Recently involved in a job with a Primatic cylinder and have ordered a new one to replace like for like. I've heard that the best way to fill these...

    Worcester boiler - strange leak

    kind of difficult to tell by the photo but it looks like its leaking from the condensate trap to be honest
