    Garden Tap from washing machine valve ?

    This is correct, the only time you can fit a outside tap with a check is you are doing a direct replacement. As to the original post, as you has lack of pipe work to cut into, and you are going to use compression, I would remove the washing machine tap and work from there. You could put a...

    Radiator Pipes in new Extension

    I would run the pipes in the screed, the celotex will act as a thermal barrier, and will prevent the pipes losing heat into the ground. Regards insulating depends on how deep the screed is, if you thin wall lagging then you are increasing the diameter upto 33mm. This could cause cracks to...

    Danfoss

    Do you mean pressure or flow? If it is a new build it is possible that the basin had flow restrictors in them to limit it 4 litres per minute.

    Danfoss

    Yes they make this, I do alot of new builds where they put zone valves in bedrooms as there is no where else to put them. The noise is when they open and close, I have had complaints from them opening and closing at night time, turns out that the council had told tenants to leave Heating set...

    Noise from pipes when flushing

    If this has only just started to happened, then replace the seating and washer in the ball valve in the W. C.. The noise is the ball valve opening and closing quickly, send noise and vibrations through the Pipe work.

    My not be a wiring or motorised head fault, Range Tribune used zone valve heads that had the manual overide slot on the bottom and when that valve is open it can locked in the manual overide position by accident . They are now using Honeywell Valves so this is not a problem. If the valve has...

    Protecting pipes chased into block walls

    If you are just protecting from corrosion then use a 50mm wide pvc tape and when you wrap it overlap it by 50%. When chasing out use have a maximum :- 1/3 when chasing vertical 1/6 when chasing horizontal So for a 100mm block wall you can chase 33mm vertical and 16mm horizontal.

    Combing outputs from prv's

    I was told by water board that the htg discharge was to go after the tundish , to prevent cross contamination if D1 ever got blocked, chances of that happening is rare lol. I always tee htg after the tundish and I have been doing this for years on new build, and no building Inspector has...

    Legal pump on mains?

    As I understand you can only fit a pump to the mains is the pump does not exceed a flow rate of 12 litres per minute. Sounds like you have a combination cylinder, and I would be guessing that your neighbour has put a pump on the hot to increase its pressure. Then reduced the mains pressure at...

    Slotted pop-up 'click clack' waste won't stay down

    Check the rubber seal, I worked on a site who had a bad batch, the rubber seal absorbed water and caused it to expand, often causing the plug to get stuck in the plughole. If it expanded to much maybe causing it not push in all the way.
