What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Ardex waterproof kit.

Finished this off this week. We usually do the lot but they insisted on their own tiler, who’s been a disaster and screwed through 3 of my shower pipes. The place where they’ve bought their stuff has been rubbish to, had loads more hassle on this job than when we just do the lot ourselves.

How come you've not come off each zone from the LLH, just trying to save on pumps?

The kit has all been supplied, im just fitting.
Its not a huge system (18 rads) but a very tall house and the boiler is in the basement.

Have you not sized the distribution pipework on secondary side of LLH for its target velocity? I was always told design for .5m/s.

Honestly. No and I wouldnt know how to.
Its 2 heating zones, 9 column rads each, 28mm pipework

 

[SJB060685]

What's the flow rate when all zones are demanding and I'll work out the velocity?

What’s the old saying measure twice cut once didn’t do too bad with the plaster board and as normal old houses arnt square so need a plaster to fit and dab it

Our busy time for servicing too, it's just gone mad 🤯

 

[SimonG]

Servicing is stacking up but no time. On with a shower out, bath in in the main bathroom and bath out shower in in the ensuite. Nice simple sparkly white panels over tiles. New basin in main bathroom and now new wc which wasnt on the estimate. All panels 900 wide, not tongue and grooved and no h trims. No bath waste, no shower waste.

Extra extra here comes the bonus 🤣🤣

Wouldn't it have been easier putting a Vaillant EcoTec Pro back in it's place. Thinking same pipe layout....

 

[king of pipes]

Probably mate I hadn't seen the job went in blind custard wanted a Glowworm budget boiler its in a rental one bed cottage only £1500 in the job 👍. Kop
