    Drain Cock Spigot

    The drain cock on my water cylinder is very close to the ground and is obscured by piping installed by the previous owner. The spigot is at the bottom but, try as I might, I can find nothing to tighten it. Can anyone offer any advice ? Thanks

The boiler is currently set to 62C, so should be condensing, but the condensate pipe never even gets warm to the touch even if the boiler's been on for a while - should it? The...

    Hello. Please check the pic. As u can see the drain pipe goes into the plastic grate. Is this right? Or should the pipe sit over the grate. It just bugs me a little. Many thanks.

    Sewage coming up shower drain!

    Hi all, I've just moved into a house a few months ago, built around 2005. One of the toilets upstairs had a very weak flush so I raised the level of water in the cistern and to my horror a small amount of dirty water/sewrage came up through the shower drain. I think it's been a problem all...

    Hi all, new here so I hope I'm posting in the right place. I'm having a hell of a time with my bath drain cover. I just wanted to take it off to get a better look at whether the P-Trap was dry. So I unscrewed it. And it won't come off, but neither will it screw back down! Now I just want to...

    Odd fill / drain valve on manifold

    Hi there - I think I have an airlock in my UFH, and I need to flush the system to get it out.
