    The customer was ask by my colleague if they had not been notified by the boiler manufacturer that there was a problem. No was the reply, was the boiler registered, No again.

    What should a plumber be able to do ?

    As some of you may know the plumbing qualification changed a couple years back, Lead flashings went out along with a few other bits but in came lots of electrical & some renewables. At level 3 they have to be able to size & select a suitable borehole pump, design & draw a two-boiler...

    Nothing to shout about but engineer failed ReACS

    Now this is a delicate post & I did think twice, it is never nice to see a fellow engineer loose his gas ticket & possible his job, as a result but I remembered all the posting a while ago about how no one ever fails the Gas Re Assessment (CCN1) well it is not true, they did & it was not nice...

    removing emersion heater from hot water cylinder, any tips??

    & this is why trainees, you never ever ever, use paste on the threads of joint that seals using a washer on a flanged face. My favourite is when they add hemp as well to really expand the soft copper threads out, making it imposable to get the new one to pull up tight. Don't miss next week...

    Mains water pressure test.

    Hi pete if you think about what these filters do it may not be such a surprise, to get the pure water out of the filtered side all the stuff that they take out is kept back on the mains supply side of the membrane & you may be surprised at just how much say organic matter can be in the mains...

    Mains water pressure test.

    Morning Tom, well it does depend on whether you want to fit a EC or ED type valve but then what's a test point between friends :biggrin5:

    Mains water pressure test.

    WRAS mailed me back this afternoon & confirmed Cat 3 domestic ones & 4 or 5 commercial so must be a double check not single for the ones you are doing.

    Mains water pressure test.

    What back flow protection device do you fit (or do they come with one already installed) on31ll ?? I have never fitted one of these units as you say they are becoming popular, I had to check with WRAS as to what the fluid category is for them.

    Mains water pressure test.

    Hi pete23 (& on31ll) This is in no way a criticism of you personally, as you are asking question & as you recognized in your first posts on the thread you are not fully qualified. I point this out both for your future reference & to show others the dangers that can lie out there in plumbing if...

    Help with an unvented water cylinder please!!!

    Just a couple of things on this thread. 1. I agree totally with the consensus not to offer help on this one, although the problem may not have been directly related to the U/C (probable was) the fact that it was not a registered installation should mean that no member should offer corrective...

    Underfloor Problem - Water temp too low

    Who designed your system pmt ? it sounds like U/F was not the best option, if you want intermittent heating but you may be able to use a buffer tank as pete suggested to iron out the boiler running. It sounds like you need some professorial advice from a design engineer in this field.

    Underfloor Problem - Water temp too low

    I know you are asking specifically about the flow temp but running an U/F system for just 3 hours a day may not be allowing it or the structure to get up to a working temperature have you tried leaving the system on for longer ? U/F systems are typically left on for longer periods but at lower...
