dual fuel

Hi everyone, I have an Eastbrook Hurley towel radiator and fitting it as a dual fuel, with pipes coming out of the wall. I've been advised to get a T-Piece which the electrical element then fits underneath it, and then a manual valve fits into the side of the T-piece. On the other side...

Hi Everyone, I hope someone might be able to help me please. I have recently paid a fortune to have my en suite shower room refitted and part of this was the fitting of a dual fuel towel rail. I have been having some problems with it but have recently noticed that one of the valves seems to...

I'm installing a standby generator. It runs on natural gas but can be converted easily to run on LP. If I lose my natural gas, I would like to switch over to LP, and I don't want to have to change out the fuel line into the generator. Would the solution be to (i) put a tee on the natural gas...

Evening all, not sure if I should be asking sparkies ? I have a qualified and experienced gas fitter installing a new system in a small rural cottage. I am having a friendly discussion about the location of heated towel rad. You open the door to the bathroom and to one side is the...

Hi, hoping someone can help. We have a dual fuel towel rail, i.e. connected to the central heating, but with an electric element in one of the "legs". The bottom of the other leg is leaking around what I assume is a blanking plug. This plug has a large hex socket, and I've tried tightening it...

Hopefully this is a quick one... I'm currently building a house (well, my builder is, I'm doing a few of the jobs myself). Originally, we were going to have electric towel rails in the bathrooms, because we were going to have solar panels. We're over budget, so the panels will have to wait...

Hi guys, I would like to tap into your knowledge of dual fuel towel rails. We already have an electric element in our en-suite towel rail/radiator, which was added about 10 years ago and is connected to a timer. In Summer I close off both valves and turn on the timer so we get toasty towels in...

Went to fit this today. Brand new but it did not come with the hex adaptor to convert the cooker fitting to a 1/2 female thread for cooker hose. Manual said optional extra. What is the point of supplying a cooker you can't connect up when you get it. From memory it was a leisure dual fuel range.

Hi, I've just installed a dual fuel towel rail. I've been led to believe that the heating element should be on the flow pipe. When I installed the rail, I didn't know which pipe was flow/return (don't ask - it's a long story!). Turns out I've put the heating element on the return. I can't...

Does anyone know of a standard central heating radiator which will take a heating element (of the sort used on towel rail radiators). I know there used to be radiators where the inlet/outlet went straight into the (slightly rounded) bottom of the radiator but all I can find now are...

Hi I am not a plumber nor experienced diyer and have some questions about ladder dual fuel radiators. The WWW seems to be a bit lacking.. :) 1) I was wondering how you choose your element wattage? Is it based on rad height vs element length or rad wattage vs element wattage? 2) there is...

Hi any advice will be appreciated. I am an electrocian so please go easy. A customer has had a dual fuel radiator fitted in their bathroom. All i wanted to know was if the c/heating is turned off how do you stop the heating element heating the water in the flow and return pipes. Is there any way...

Advise please On central heating feed pipe from the stove, would I be correct in saying--vent pipe then 150mm after cold water feed (from tank in loft) then pump, or should it be cold water then vent? Any help would be appreciated. Nulook

Had a customer ask me if they can have one of thier towel rails converted to dual fuel, is that possible? thanks

Not quite sure if this is in the right forum but anyway ... I’ve got an interview next week for a dual fuel meter installer, the job will involve installing single and three phase meters (aswell as gas). I don't hold any electrical quals (the company are aware of this) but obviously I want...

Is it ok to leave element running even when the ch system is on or is it better to turn of the ch system? Got a call from a customer claiming the rad got scorching hot at the top thanks

Dear Plumbers I am in the process of buying a new build, it has 3 bathrooms with undertile heating and chrome heated towel rails. Builder has said he is not prepared to put thermosats on the rails but I have asked if I pay for them will he fit them. He has said "the towel warmers are part of...

Hi All I have a Baxi 105 for central heating and water, I have just fitted a Rayburn 480kb and want to use the rayburn for heating and have the baxi as a back up. I also want to carry on using the baxi for hot water. The rayburn can be used with either an open or sealed central heating system...
