...on an unvented indirect solar cylinder: Same as a standard unvented cylinder? As in just turn off the main stopcock?
Not come across one before. Guessing it shouldn't alter the method but wanted to check.
Thanks
Please can someone help. Plumber came to property and said that the immersion heater is working. We do not have any hot water coming through the taps. He said that he is unable to locate a thermostatic mixing valve in the property which needs to be repaired. Where is this located?
Hi guys,
Went to look at a job yesterday where some tenants have been removed for not looking after the house. One of the things they've done and I don't know how is snapped the backnuts on the bath tap (deck mixer) so the tap just pulls out the holes. The taps are in the worst place possible at...
Hello all,
I'm new to the forum and have joined as I've recently experienced an issue.
In short, our traditional boiler packed up, so we decided to replace this with a combi boiler. A company came in looked at our system and gave us a quote, which we went with.
The work took a couple of days...
Hi,
I have a Twin lever Monobloc mixer tap leaking from the base of the spout, there are many answers to this problem online, however, the majority of issues are when the water is on and the tap is running, in my case, the base of the spout is leaking when the taps are off.
Would this mean...
Hi.
I'm having issues with my bath taps. I moved into a new house which only has a bath, I noticed that the pressure from both hot and cold taps on the bath is really good so I purchased mixer taps with a shower on them.
I've never changed a tap before so decided how hard could it be...
We have a coal fired Parkray room heater, running 6 radiators. They are all red hot but there's no hot water from the tap. What should I do? I'm quite nervous about the back boiler blowing up.
Hi guys. On the City and Guilds Level 3 course that I support as workshop technician, in the module on complex cold water controls they ask me to provide a "Concussive tap" and in the student worksheets also ask what is the main purpose of them.
The answer given is that it is a water saving...
The hot and cold from the taps run fine but only the hot runs through the shower head.
What would I need to replace to get the cold running back through the shower head?
Bought this discontinued bath and freestanding bath taps from Wickes. The taps were quite discounted mainly due to the fittings that couples the unit to the hot/cold water pipes have been misplaced. So I'm trying to find/buy the correct fittings so I can connect this to the hot/cold water...

Hi guys
I like the look of the antique gold/copper taps but not sure of the practicality/durability/maintenance etc - have you had any problems with these taps- are they just aesthetics only? I will be having a black quartz worktop and maybe black granite sink.Also any brands in particular I...
I have a floor mounted Hudson Reed bath tap to fit for a freestanding bath. This is the first one I have ever fitted and have no idea how you can ever fit them. I have two 15mm hot and cold pipes sticking out the floor, they then have to go up a 800mm tube which screws to a base plate on the...
Hi hope there can be some ideas here. I went to a job oil (heatslave 20/25 combi ) the pipework was chattering or banging very quickly intermittently but especially when cold tap was run at the same time. The flow switch was leaking badly so I changed it and the noise from the pipework stopped...
I have an open vented system. The flow of water from my hot taps lessened over a few hours and then just stopped. There is no hot water coming from any hot tap. All cold taps are working.
Initially I thought this was an airlock. But I have forced mains water from the garden hose pipe back...
