Hi folks, Thanks for that. Yes it is an Indirect copper cylinder. Might have to get a plumber in to have a look and advise further. Just thought I would ask here first. Much appreciated for your help. Aceman3

Hi Guys, After numerous years of thinking about putting in Radiators into my parents house I eventually got it completed. The ehat source is off of a back boiler on a Stanley range. The hot water is by gravity. The pipe work is one inch from the back boiler to the copper cylinder. The...

Pressure dropped to nearly zero. So it is the PRV.

Hi, The PRV on my Baxi 60/100 gas boiler is leaking and the pressure is dropping. I know the PRV needs to be replaced. Anyone any experience of doing so. Haven't got around to opening the Baxi boiler and investigating further, will have to wait until Next week when I'm not working. All...

Hi guys, Thanks for the replies so far. Looking for good tools. The T5 does seem like the bees knees. With regards the megger, I was told the BM400 range is or was a good make. Have used the Robin range. The MIT400 replaces the BM400 range. Anyone any use of the MIT230 or the MIT230?

Guys, Been looking at getting some equipment, what do you think of the following? Fluke T5-1000. Fluke 902 clamp on meter Megger MIT230 or MIT400. Any feedback welcome.

Hi Guys, Thanks for your replies. The house is of 2002 build, only in it a few months. Does look like it is the only one with the TRV on the return. Directional arrows on the TRV show either way for flow. I'll just keep an eye on it. Again, Thanks much appreciated.

Hi, How critical is it to have the TRV on the supply to the radiator. Have just checked all the rad's and two of them were cold. Removed the head on the TRV and pushed the pin a few times and it freed up the valve. On one of the radiators it wasn't getting warm about the TRV valve but it was...

Hi Kev, Thanks for that. Was going to use 3/4" to run around and tee off to 1/2" at each Radiator. Was going to leave at least one radiator with standard Lockshield valves. Using TRV's on three of the others. Four radiators in total. Have learnt now that my mam wants two radiators down...

Hi Kev, It will be a two pipe system. Do you see an issue with this?

Hi, The back Boiler is up to the task. It's part of a stanley range cooker. Heats the hot tank(Cylinder) at least 3 times, Water has to be drained off due to the rapid heating of the water.

Hi Folks, Quick question. My folks have a back boiler in a solid fuel cooker, this is providing the hot water to the house via an Indirect cylinder located 5 feet away in a press from the back boiler. There is No radiators in the house. My plan is to install some in the upstairs bedrooms and...

Hello everyone. I've posted something similiar but here it goes again. If one connects up 4 rads upstairs and two rads downstairs. The DHW cylinder is downstairs beside the solid fuel cooker. Going to use a pump to pump the water around the system. Going to use the two downstairs rads to...

Thanks for the responses. I was going to have the two rads on the ground floor act as the heat leak. Need a pump as the DHW cylinder is on the ground floor, & there will be four rads upstairs. My query is how best to control the pump so its not running the whole time.

I'm putting in a heating system, running off a solid fuel back boiler. My question is whether to use a 3 way motorised valve. On it's normally open position it would allow the DHW cylinder to heat, when it switches it would open up to the radiators. If i use the motorised valve i can control...

Sorry i don't know the size of the Back boiler, My father got it made up especially for the cooker some years back. Running a similiar setup two rads downstairs and four rads upstairs. The indirect cylinder is located beside the cooker about six feet away. Trv's are thermostatic valves i assume...

Thanks for your reply. I don't believe there is any mandatory regulations with regards running radiators off a solid fuel back boiler. Other systems yes.

Query about connecting up radiators to the back boiler of a solid fuel cooker. There will be 6 radiators all doubles. The hot tank is located in the hot press beside the solid fuel cooker. Whats the best way of controlling an inline pump. Was thinking about using a room thermostat located...
