    Noisy Ceramic Taps under high pressure.

    Hi all, i have an unvented cylinder with balanced cold feeds. The cloakroom basin monoblock tap is under 3bar of balanced pressure. As the basin is very small ive had to turn down the isolation valves to stop water flooding. Obviously this has made the taps very loud at night. Is there a way of...

    Boiler I. D. For high reading on analysers

    I have to go to a boiler tomorrow that has been classed as I. D dangerous by another engineer. I haven't fully read the Cp12 they have been issued. Surely this means a C0/C02 ratio greater than 0.008. If it was between 0.004 and 0.007 the appliance would be at risk. Thanks for any input...

    Fast flow vs high flow waste?

    Hi guys - what is the difference between the two waste types. As I understand both enable water to drain effectively and both can be used with shower trays but how do we know which one to buy? Also from the sizes they both come in 90mm. Are Mcalpine wastes the most effective or can I just go...
