    What to replace a Salus RT505TX with?

    Our Salus RT505TX seems to be failing according to Salus as the battery low icon won't turn off even with a reset. It was fitted 7 years ago with a Worcester Bosch boiler, the boiler is fine and we hoped the thermostat would last at least as long. They suggest a RT510TX/RF but we are looking at...

    flushing out a system

    I had a WB 440CDi fitted 2 years ago, it was serviced again last May and a service due now. We took the hall radiator off last week to have the wall plastered, I isolated it by turning off the TRV & lockshield valve. When I drained it a lot of black water came out which I guess had been sitting...

    fitting a check valve to a 25mm MDPE outside supply spur

    I've want to take a spur off the short section of 25mm MDPE pipe going into the house just just after the stop tap. It's to get full pressure for the outside taps otherwise the 15mm pipes snake all the way through the house to the outside tap. The question is what should be done to comply with...

    capping off unwanted central heating pipes

    We had a new utility room built and planned to put a combi boiler on the wall. The existing 22mm central heating pipes from the existing WB floor standing boiler in another part of the house, were extended to suit the new position and 22mm capped tails were left sticking through the ceiling. We...

    tall radiator not heating

    I replaced a Stelrad with a tall rad in the bathroom but it's not heating up. The only difference in pipework is that the existing 15mm copper is extended by 800mm 10mm tails to the new rad position. New rad is full of water, Boss dual flow TRV one side and lockshield the other. The old rad...

    continental type 10mm pipe fittings

    I'm re-fitting a bidet and basin. The bidet had 15mm pipework which was bulky and awkward to fit, I want to fit service valves this time with flex connectors up to the tap tails, 15mm will take up too much space. I've just come back from Menorca where they use really neat connectors which I...

    The wisdom of fitting natural gas boilers and onward costs/RHI

    I posted a couple times about fitting a new gas boiler and would like to thank all who responded. To re-cap I need a new boiler as the WB Heatslave is v/reliable but 20yrs old and probably only about 60-65% efficient. Until today I was thinking Veissmann Visodent 30Kw, but I had a visit from a...

    Re my other post about Viessmann boilers I have now spoken to three plumbers who fit a lot of boilers and each one recommends a different make, first said VM best as WB are not as reliable as they were, second said Valliant, third WB. For someone not in the know how do we decide which one to go...

    I got a price for fitting a new boiler but would just like opinions on whether it's about right. The new boiler will be a wall mounted Vitoden 100 30Kw, the work involves;- 1) cut off the gas supply at the outside meter to the existing floor standing boiler in the kitchen. 2) run 12m of new...

    service valves in central heating system

    I want to isolate the heating system at one end of the house and have fitted two service valves into the 15mm flow and return, just wondering if this is ok. There are 4 rads that are isolated. The valves restrict the flow a bit but will this be a problem when the valves are opened again to...

    will one way valve cause pressure drop

    I'm running a new supply to two outside taps but rather than having bib taps with non return valves, I got them without and plan to fit an inline NRV in the utility room where the cold water supply is to be intercepted. One tap is about 4 metres from the valve, the other is down the garden about...
