connecting

Hi all, hoping for a bit of advice, I have a customer who has a non-condensing oil combi boiler and would like me to connect another ordinary boiler with a vegetable oil burner to the heating circuit, to cut down on his oil bill in the winter. I've used a dunsley neutraliser before to connect...

Hi I have just bought a compression tee from Screwfix and need assistance on how to connect it to the existing cold wate rpipe. Do I simply isolate the water, remove the current tap and replace the new compression tee? Do I need a specialist tool to remove the exisiting tee? Do I need to...

Don't take my word for it s I am often wrong but I'm sure old ACOP excluded this from work definition. New draft ACOP now defines this as work - which is good because there is a GSR TB that defines it as work. See daft ACOP 33 & 34. Let me know if I am wrong because i don't want to spread...

Hi all, I've purchased 3 x vertical rads (H:1800mm x 600mm). I couldn't stand looking at the surface mounted pipes running from ceiling to floor, so I decided to bury the pipework into the walls. I was advised to channel out a chase around 20/25mm in the wall, which I have done, this chase runs...

I need to connect my standard ½" hosepipe to a supposedly ¾" outside tap. I just bought a new ¾" connector but it's slightly too small and won't screw onto the thread of the tap. I would simply replace the tap if it were mine, but that is impossible in the circumstances. Getting a ¾" hosepipe is...

Hi there, apologies if this has previously been answered. I did look but couldn't find a previous post. I've got a Glow Worm 24CXi combi boiler which is fitted with a basic mechanical time clock mounted next to the PCB at the front of the boiler and a wired rotary type room stat mounted on the...

Hi, I am new to this forum, but have searched through as many of the posts to see if anyone has had the same confusion as me. I basically have a very reliable Potterton Puma 80e that had an old analogue electrotimer that ended up ticking very loudly. I purchased a replacement Grassling...

Hi When I screw the water connection back on to the float valve thread under the cistern, there is a leak when I turn the water back on. There are 3 fibre washers filling the gap. Does anyone know what I could do to stop the leak? Thanks you

I need to fit an elbow to the end of a radiator... (no valve needed, the valve is on a manifold) Simple but untidy option: use 1/2"M to 15mm coupler, then a short bit of pipe to a 15mm to 15mm elbow A possibly better option would be to screw a 1/2"M to 15mm elbow straight into the radiator -...
