    I CANNOT VIEW THE FORUM WITHOUT ONSCREEN ADVERTS OBSCURING WEBPAGE

    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...

    How to adjust radiator height without?

    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...

    How to adjust radiator height without?

    How do I find a (small) leak from pressurised system

    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...

    How do I find a (small) leak from pressurised system

    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...

    Washing Machine Standpipe Setup

    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...
