    Failed motorized valves

    I have now had both my Danfoss HPA02 valves fail (hot water and central heating on an S plan). It is easy enough to replace the heads, but the failure mode in both cases has been the micro switch failing to open once the call for heat was removed. With the heating, we were away and came back to...

I know there are Amazon generic ones claiming to fit but some reviews say otherwise. Just want to know if the Screwfix ones fit the Olympus if any of you have done it. If not...

    Air gap incoporating inlet valves

    Seen these are now on sale in Toolstation. Is this a law change coming in? Non in Screwfix. From description sounds like you can fit a double check valve if no room? Pretty bulky looking things https://www.toolstation.com/plumbing/toilet-fittings/c902

    My shower valve is playing up and the easier thing might be to replace it. Most seem to have a pipe centre distance of 150mm specified, but mine seems to be 143mm. Is it likely that a 150mm will be adjustable and fit? I notice some have a range but the ones I've seen that do are quite...

    Help with thermostatic radiator valves

    Hello, My understanding of these valves is you set the room thermostat (dial type on the wall in the hallway) at a comfortable temperature, so i set mine to 20 degrees. I then set all my thermostat on the Rads to 3 and adjusted until I got correct temp in rooms. After that they open and close...
