Cracked it - the rad is at high level so close to the ceiling that it clearly is not intended to heat the room it is in therefore must be a a form of underfloor heating for the room above & of course with the sensor of the TRV head detecting what is going on above you have temperature control, simples :wink_smile:
Just take care you don't kick or trip over it when in the room above.

A lad I know rang me and said he's having trouble fitting his mums taps.

Threads were nackerd on taps. So he isolated the hot and used flexi to cap the cold but had to bend the pipe at the elbow to meet the flexi.

I love DIYers

You know what really grates my cheese about that pic?
The paint!
Why paint pipework that's hidden in a cupboard, there can only be one reason: To annoy plumbers...
 
And the 78 appliances tapped into the pipe with b n q fixings instead of just having a plumber put a tee in
 
apparently a mechanical engineer used to own the house

Why oh why oh why do they think they know it all. I hate when I have to work for them
 
Went and ID'd a boiler for a telephone engineer about a fortnight ago as the inside had melted. Quoted for a new install. He emailed me 2-3 days ago saying he's going to source new parts for his 18 year old heat only and "have a go at getting it working". He asked if I'd fit the parts as part of a service. I politely declined explaining what a service entailed and that half the parts weren't even available anymore but he insisted on"giving it a go himself". Idiot of the highest degree!!
 
Following on from above post. I was recommended to this guy by his engineer chum who has a combi installed in his loft. I kid you not this bloke has a drip tray or plastic tub under every soldered joint "in case of a leak". Probably being too pedantic I pointed out that if a pressurised joint gave way that the water could go anywhere with pressure. Silly sods probably waterproofed his loft now.
 
its funny how many customers tell you how much they know about sod all.

those that have been on a multiskilled dole course drive you nuts.
 
A retired engineer was telling me how his heating worked and said, I've got 3/4 go and returns! I corrected him by saying the correct terminology is " go and come back"
pipe think he believed me.
 
over flow 1.jpgoverflow 2.jpgoverflow 3.jpg we went to fit a hob before and come across this
its the over flow from the CWSC. another diy job instead of getting a plumber to change the washer in the ball valve. i bet this cost more than getting one.
 

We recommend City Plumbing Supplies, BES, and Plumbing Superstore for all plumbing supplies.
