In...

    Can't adjust thermostatic shower mixer

    I moved into a property recently and having problems with the shower in the main bathroom. The temperature's always too cold when the dial is turned to the hottest setting. There's scalding hot water getting to the taps and the en-suite shower so I'm assuming the thermostatic shower knob needs...

    Boiler HW short cycling due to mixer tap

    Hi. My boiler (a Vaillant Ecotec Plus 8xx) short cycle HW every few seconds and, because of the he priority it means no central heating. If I close the hot water circuit (turning the valve underneath the boiler) then the CH works fine. So, I can either have hot water or central heating. The...

    Kitchen mixer tap - how is it fixed?

    We are replacing our kitchen mixer tap, but I haven't figured out how to remove the old one yet as I'm a lowly DIY-er and unfamiliar with the fitting that holds it in place. The old tap is a Franke Zurich, and inspecting underneath the sink I can see it has what looks like a brass tube with a...

    3 tap hole basin mixer tap

    Are the tap hole centres on most 3 hole tap centres the same? Have to swap the taps in one that has 200mm centres for the taps with the spout in the middle. Thanks.

    Bath/Shower mixer

    My wife complained the mixer switching lever was getting stiff so I unscrewed it to see the problem. Something obviously broke in the process as now the mixer is stuck on shower no matter what position the switch is in. To replace the whole unit is around £100. Can spares be obtained for this...

    Hydramax (Aqualisa) mixer - thoughts on this?

    Having only really dealt with bar mixers and electric showers this would be a first for me. So my mixer shower started going hot and cold every now and then, and eventually started to leak frequently from the middle, so replaced the cartridge, which has solved the 2 issues. This is the bit...

    Monobloc kitchen mixer 32mm back nut - spanner

    Anyone coming across these tap fixing components. I'm struggling to find a box spanner to fit. The nut is about 33-34 mm between flats. New install and as far as I can see nothing apart from a box spanner will tighten this. Unless you have the opportunity fit before installing sink.

    Can you just put a non return valve on the hot under the combi where it comes out? Rather than put one on the hot pipe to each and every tap? Or is that no-no for some reason? Ta
