Spot on. Absolutely right.. we have a Megaflo unvented hw cylinder and quick search reveals it is the multibloc (y) Didn't know these cylinders required periodic checks to be honest.. over 10 years old.. so any points in particular to look for / check ? Will get our plumber to change over...

closer look

hi guys, have this filter? fitted on the incoming mains, just after the stock-cock.. and noticed it is dripping fairly regularly I think it's some kind of filter .. although not sure why the top-half spurs outside also? -anyone know what it is- brand/make ? thanks in advance

Blimely, opened up a can of worms.. :o what Sam said To be honest, that's what I thought originally as well. The copper piping has been lagged all the way in the cement, so unless the joints, have somehow eroded, in the space of serveral months, I just don't get how a leak can occur as it...

well yes, as I said I was a little concerned about the effects of burying copper pipes in cement, but as you correctly point out doyle, this is how it is normally been done for gas fires.. for everybody concerned, please read the following website.. proves to be a bit of an interesting read...

The range cooker I believe is directly connected to the main supply via a wall mounted bayonet connection, which is via a tee junction, I think. I could isolate the cooker by simply disconnecting it from the bayonet connection. I guess the Corgi guy will do that and isolate the boiler, prior...

Sam, luckily the only only two appliances are a new gas range cooker and a new Vaillant system boiler.. hot water supplied via a MegaFlo. I too am a little concerned about the copper piping.. maybe a little doubtful it could corrode in cement, having done a 'google' on it.. but it certainly...

gas4you, yes you're probably right, dam dam double dam (am I allowed to swear on here).. hindsight is a wonderful thing. As you say, at the very least they should have run the main gas supply from the meter to the boiler in that special yellow plastic pipe. I wonder what kinda explaination I...

yeah you're right.. beginning to wander if it was all worth it! With underfloor heating, what else can you do? I mean my entire ground floor was ripped up and then concrete screeded and tiled, with the under-floor heating pipes running every where.. I am just thinking about what Dave said...

gas4you, the copper piping in the floor screed was covered all the way, with pipe lagging.. although they did not do the little bit of copper pipe where it comes up from the ground to the meter.. Are you talking about the yellow gas flexi pipe.. that I do not have installed. Would that have...

thanks Gasguru / rob / doyle for that explanation / tips.. well I don't blame the Transco guy all at for capping off the supply, even as doyle said, although I have a drop of only 1mbar, you correct point out that I can ever so slightly smell this. So obviously I would want this fixed in any...

Well, the smell is definately not down to being in a meter cupboard, as underneath the staircase, it's all open.. even the gas meter isn't housed, as yet! And as for the flooring, the entire ground floor has been screeded / tiled, floor boards removed! (for under-floor heating). So the smell...

thanks for your reply.. although the Transco guy could not smell it whilst he was here, like I said I can smell it ever so slightly now and again.. which will mean finding the pinhole leak could prove an issue.. I guess the cement secreed and copper piping, wouldn't cause this then? btw, I...

hi guys, Allow me first to say what an absolute superb website this is! The guys on here really know their stuff, as I've been an avid reader for sometime... Anyway, my first post, is unfortunately not a good one.. Over the last few days I started to notice, on and off, a very small smell...
