    Concealed shower valve to Wall Union Elbow

    Cheers guys, the plastic approach seems like the easy option, but I'll sleep on this one and may have a crack at the copper bending if I've got the time. There's no instructions regarding the union elbow at all - only fitting the rise rail itself. It looks like this: . Any tips on how...

    Concealed shower valve to Wall Union Elbow

    Thanks Stem/Bathstyle, It seems to be a different shower to the Aqualisa Axis. I considered turning the valve "upside down", but the temperature and flow numbers/graphics on the cover plate would be upside down too. I guess I'll just have to route the pipework round and down below the...

    Concealed shower valve to Wall Union Elbow

    I have just bought an Axis Mixer Shower set with concealed valve from B &Q. The shower head is on an adjustable riser rail, and i would normally expect to locate the wall union elbow directly below the valve controls. HOWEVER, the outlet for the valve heads upwards (as if to a built in...

    Vokera maxin 28e furnace cutting out

    Thanks Dave, I see you're actually in Norwich like me - what are you under in the Yellow Pages? I've left a message with my usual engineers and I'll ensure they give it a full service as well bu will keep you details in mind. The unit's probably been in the property for around 11 years...

    Vokera maxin 28e furnace cutting out

    Thanks for the response Dave, Checking my paperwork the last full service we had was 2 years ago. Having said that I would have expected the boiler to be fit for purpose for a good while after replacing something major like the heat exchanger (and spending £200+)? If not, I guess I...

    Vokera maxin 28e furnace cutting out

    Hi there, i have a Vokera maxin 28e and it has started playing up over the last week or so. For CH the furnace cuts out before hitting the room thermostat temperature. I have now turned the temperature control on the boiler to the maximum amount which delays the cut out, but the boiler seems...

    Thanks for the replies, Ideally I want use TRVs to control the tempreature in the rooms more specifically. One of the rooms is my baby's nursery and we want to be able to keep it at the right temperature. I will take a picture but it might take me a while to figure out how to post it...

    Thermostatic Radiator Valve pipe length

    Hi, I'm replacing a couple of radiators in my house and would like to install TRVs. I'm not skilled enough (or don't want to go to the trouble of!) altering pipework. The TRVs that I've seen appear to be too long horizontally. The non thermo valve I'm taking off simply has a large nut on...

    Hi Noseall, We've got drywalls throughout the house, the one i was working on last is just a thin partition wall between downstairs loo and stairs - it's about 14cm thick. The house was originally part of a Victorian pub and all the other walls have been plasterboarded over. I've had a...

    Fixing Skirting Board to Plasterboard problems

    Hi, I'm starting to replace skirting board throughout our new house. The plasterboard walls appear to have been fixed by Dot and Dab method. I was aiming to use nylon drywall screw in fixings but when I screw them in to the plasterboard they go so far before hitting an obstacle, and start...

    Vokera Maxin 28e High Pressure Problem

    David, I think I've sussed it with you help. The filling loop just appeared to be open - which I presume continuously lets new water (more pressure) into the system. I've closed the filling loop valve and released the pressure using the red twist knob and all seems well. You may just...

    Vokera Maxin 28e High Pressure Problem

    Hi David, Thanks for your quick response. I'm pretty new to some of the terminology used. Not sure what a filling loop is. Do I need to repressurise the expansion vessel? If so what pressure should I pump it to? Thanks, Gav

    Vokera Maxin 28e High Pressure Problem

    Hi, We moved into a new home about 3 months ago and our boiler (Vokera Maxin 28e) has start leaking from the rear bottom left which appears to be a safety valve due to the pressure increasing to 3 bar. The pressure slowly reduces when the system is turned off, but doesn't take long to get...
