Hi, I've just installed a 'venturi' shower from newteam and its the dogs bo***cks. It is a true power shower and draws mains pressure cold water and hot water from the storage tank. The pressure from the mains 'suck' the hot water into the mixer head and gives brill shower pressure without...

Got you. Will do.

Hi, I want to install a couple of LED lights via a switch in my bedroom. These LEDs are designed to run from a plug. The transformer, 240 to12v is integrated into the plug. I wanted to chase these lights in then piece up a switch. Will this work with the transformer permanently plugged in. I...

Hi, Er , wait for it, a venturi. Cold from mains, hot from cylindar.

Hi, Ive run 22mm pipping from a tee just above my hot water cylinder. This travels up one metre along loft space then down to shower. Am I likey to have air lock/trapped air problems with this set up?????? If so , any suggestions

I have same problem, just installed Hep VO to shower and basin, hope they work........Will let u know

Hi, What I meant by not being able to piece into the extractor cord was that I wanted a light switch independent of the extractor/shower light unit, so as to be able to use the en-suite without switching this unit on. I like the infra red switch Idea, a bit like PIR. Maybe I should just put...

Is there an alternative to ceiling mounted pull cord in the bathroom zones??. I have considered a PIRsensor. I already have a cord in the ensuite in which im working, and didnt want another, also I cannot piece into the existing cord which operates extractor. I also didnt want the standard...

Great suggestions, cheched out, However cannot seem to find a shower waste that doesn't combine with a bottle trap.Please advise, I'm going crackers, as I'm sure installing a shower waste with bottle then to hep VO will impair its performance.......

This is what I was told to ask for. In fact I am coming from my basin and shower and NOT wanting to install traps because I have a hepworth VO self sealing waste. I cannot source a plain old connection ..... Any ideas????

Maybe I could carry on to the extractor from the shower then continue the loop into the ring, effectively taking them both from the ring circuit. mmmm

Thanks chris n nige, Have u had any experience with hep valves??, are they reliable??. Still thinking a vent up to the loft is a feasible solution. I suppose teed off waste terminating in an insect guard would do, as long as its above spill over level ?? Dunno, bit confused, dont want the 'home...

I am running 6m of waste from en suite basin and shower, I have been advised to put air admittance valve near basin to avoid siphonage etc. What size in length and bore would this have to be ??, can it terminate in loft space directly above ??. It seems a 110mm air admittance valve used on soil...

Ok, What about this one. Can I power my extractor/light and power shower all from the ring main spur via the same pull cord switch ??. I know usually one comes off the lighting circuit for extractors, but as a switch is needed for both power shower and extractor I was wondering about combining...

Apologies for this much discussed topic. However as I am fitting a power shower to my gravity fed system, would if be feasable to use it in future if I install a combi, I was thinking I could disable it at the fused spur and let it run as a standard unboosted mixer. Mmmm

Thanks for that. Must forgive me as I'm learning on the job so to speak. Just to clarify, will this valve allow me to run the 6 metre waste pipe to the soil stack ? Is there a maximum lentgh of pipe that can be run across an exterior wall ?

I'm intending to install an en suite shower and hand basin. The waste run to soil stack works out at around 6m with a 90 degree bend in the middle. As far as I know 40mm waste is restricted to 3m runs, 50mm to 4m. What on earth is the solution apart from not doing it ???
