Hi all,
I'm a student plumber. On my work experience, we came across an air lock in a bungalow. The plumber got rid of it by forcing mains water up the hot pipe (which had the airlock).
This was done via a mixer tap, which had mains cold but tank-fed hot.
My question is, could this be done on twin-flow mixers, as well as single-flow mixers?
Also another q... when installing mixers, am I right in thinking that only twin-flows are put in kitchens, for hygiene reasons? Aside from that, are there any other preferences of location for one over the other?
Thanks for your advice,
Jennie
