    Diy sos

    I hate it when I sweat an ugly joint. I think some plumber will come to this in 30 years, and say what a loser, he couldn't even solder neatly!! I look at pipework/flues all the time. I can't help it. Flues are perticuarlly bad. I say it out loud whenever I see something not right. My wife just...

    Using the redundant feed to the cylinder coil when fitting a combi.

    Hi all. I've done something I don't do much of today. Fitted a combination boiler. I tend to fit system and HO boilers. To give you an idea, the last combi I fitted was during the scrappage scheme. My question is: Does anyone use the redundant flow to the cylinder coil to knit into the old...

    Got to spec a combi boiler

    Hello all. Just pricing a job, and I've got to do something which I guess for many is bread and butter work.....fit a combi boiler. However this just isn't the market I'm generally in, and I haven't fitted a combi boiler since the scrappage scheme! (generally I fit and upgrade systems with...

    Break down on Glow Worm Micron 100 FF

    Hello all. I got called to a break down on a Glow Worm Micron yesterday. The boiler was sparking, but not igniting. I didn't persue the repair too much as I AR'd the boiler down to flue termination issues. Anyway, I want to give the client two options, repair the boiler/rectify some of the...

    Pictures for plumbers, just for fun.

    Hi all. I came across something a bit different yesterday. I'm working in a pretty amazing house. Its a converted train station. Amongst other things I am installing an unvented cylinder. I pop up into the loft to drain the tank, and I find this on the open vent. It looks like a crude AAV...

    Push fit on an unvented.

    Hi all. Quick question. Pushfit/speedfit on an unvented. I believe the reg's are that it's not allowed within 1 metre of cylinder? Is this true? I have fitted thermal stores where the manufacturer actually tells you not to solder directly to the store, or use compression, but use a pushfit...

    Hi all. The wife and I have just bought our first place, and before we move in I have to do various jobs. I'll be chasing out pipe runs as the place has no central heating. It also doesn't have any gas. I really want a gas hob. So while I'm doing the mucky work, I'm going to run my gas line...

    Mega Flow with damaged baffle -

    Had a job booked in today to change a pressure/temp relief valve on a indirect Megaflow cylinder. When I took the old valve out, I was careful to keep the probe under the baffle plate so I could feed the new one under it too. However something didn't look right about it, so I pulled the valve...
