    Stanley De - Luxe 90 questions

    This thing is a bit if a mystery olto me . The boiler and the oven dials have 'Idle' marked on them, does anyone know what temp that sits at? I've discovered the boiler won't fire unless the oven is on at minimum temperature, which seems daft. There is also a Pull To Open dial/rod . I've no...

    Boiler mate questions

    I am going to quote to replace this boiler mate with an unvented cylinder but have never seen one before what do the three pumps do? Boiler pump, heating system pump and? It looks like the heating system is pressurised so is it just the thermal store that’s open vent? is it copper inside? 🤓

    Automatic air vents in loft spaces: Questions

    Do you use them? And if so how long would you leave one on a system that had air in it before returning to screw down/isolate (after hoping the air would have escaped in meantime)? Get the impression some of them leak if left but don't know how common this is. Perhaps some of you leave them...

    Questions on cooker gas fitting.

    So I've got a gas pipe in my kitchen, but due to a miscommunication on my part it's got the wrong fitting for the cooker I intend to buy.
