Hello All,
I know that this is a question for a Forum Moderator and probably should be posted in a section about the Forum itself but I was hoping to get some replies from Members about whether this is happening to anyone else:
When I logged into the Forum this afternoon and went to look down...
Hello again Mixmaker,
I hope that I am understanding your question about whether it was acceptable for someone to have hung the radiator that you are asking about 10mm out of level ?
The answer is NO unless as I and other Members previously described it was to overcome the radiator looking...
Hello Mixmaker,
Radiators must almost always be installed level using a spirit level not only because that is the correct way for appearance purposes but also so that there cannot be air trapped in a corner / section at the top of the radiator which is higher than the radiator air vent - unless...
Hello again John.g,
From a combination of reading your explanation and what I was thinking when I wrote my first and second replies to you I have realised that when the initial pressurisation of a sealed Heating system is done - for example to the recommended cold temperature pressure of 1 Bar...
Hello John.g,
Thanks for replying with the explanation.
I had not taken into consideration the additional capacity that the Expansion vessel reserve volume has - however that expansion capacity is only pertinent if it is being used when the system water has expanded due to being heated...
Hello John.g,
I cannot agree with what you stated about the pressure drop falling faster because the Combi Boiler Expansion vessel was isolated from the Heating system - however I am open to further explanation if you feel happy to write it ?
Here are my views:
When the Combi Boiler Flow and...
Hello again JImCPN,
Thanks for letting us know that information - it rules out what I was describing regarding a PRV dripping.
When you describe seeing the other pressure gauge dropping do you mean that you were watching it over a period of time / during a few days or that the gauge was...
Hello Inthenickoftime,
As You are in the USA I would advise posting your question on a US Plumbing Forum because although we know that the main principles of Venting Soil and Waste stacks should be similar in both of our Countries I know from reading posts on some US Plumbing Forums and...
Hello JImCPN,
I take it that You have a Heat only Boiler - not a Combi / Heating & Hot Water Boiler ?
The reason I ask is just to check what happened when your Boiler installers isolated the Boiler from the Heating system Radiators and Pipework and still saw a pressure drop:
If the Boiler is...
Hello bilabonic,
I had exactly the same problem when I had a contract to re-plumb a block of 19 flats that were previously a 1950`s Police station accommodation block - there were cast iron baths in every flat - some of the taps had been fitted using Putty & Paint under the tap flanges and in...
Hello Courtenaym90, ,
As Member rpm suggested - If You want to try and avoid damaging the existing air vent / having to replace the Radiator try one of these self drilling Easibleed radiator air vents:

Hello Georgem1994,
Good advice from our very experienced Members.
As Member Centralheatking stated the Washing machine standpipe is definitely too short - it needs to be extended to as high up in the Sink unit as possible with just enough gap under the Sink to hook the Washing Machine waste...
Hello again OffshoreGas,
Thanks for your reply.
As You wrote - with some your Off Shore Gas expertise and associated knowledge being transferable and the fact that you obviously have a Gas Engineers way of thinking I am not surprised that you were able to complete the Gas ACS Training and...
Hello again OffshoreGas,
As I have been writing about registered Gas Engineers / Gas Installers and with regard to Plumbers, Pipefitters, Electricians etc. becoming registered Gas Installers - I would have thought that most people who were interested in becoming a registered Gas Installer from...
