Hi all, 1st time DIY post!
looking for advice, I have a vaillant boiler, with two thermostats, one on the ground floor next to my front door, and another on the 2nd floor landing (three “floors” altogether)
I moved in a couple of months back, and while reading the VRT350 thermostat manual I...
Hello I have a valiant eco tech pro 286-33 which isn’t quite 10 years old , and after repairing it several times I’ve now accepted I’m flogging a dead horse and I need a new one . Trying to keep costs down I would like to shop around and source my own boiler but it occurs to me that if the...
Evening all,
Apologies if this has been covered in another thread - I've never called upon a forum before! 😬
We're in the process of upgrading our old heat only boiler with a new Ideal Logic heat only boiler.
So, feels like an opportune time to upgrade our ancient (albeit reliable) Sunvic...
I have an existing underground polyethylene tubing gas line. I want to tee off the line to supply a tankless water heater. Is there a fitting (perhaps a saddle) which would allow the line to be tapped at any point or is it necessary to go back to a connection point in the line (i.e., a union...

I am attaching photos of the existing piping, which is polyplumb. The white wastewater pipe appears to be 40mm, however its walls are slightly thicker...
We have an existing open flame gas fire ( installed years ago) we are now told it needs to be taken out because it is lit by hand and gas regulations say it is illegal, the engineer wouldn’t service it. Our previous gas safe engineer has retired but he never mentioned any problems, they tell us...
I need to add a new water point for our plumbed in fridge freezer, only had one quote (based on pictures) but seems very high so just wanted to see if it's something that's pretty easy to learn andDIY or am I just missing something and should get a plumber in anyway. Trying to avoid using a self...

I have a google nest (3rd gen) to replace the existing wired roomstat in my new property.
Having had a quick look at the wiring it looks like it might be a high voltage one I have? (nest says something about not being compatible with high voltage wiring?)
It has two wires plus an earth. There...
Hi.
CM927 Wireless programmable Thermostat and Relay box were fitet in my house Sept. 2008.
Now the CM927 seems to misbehave, If I buy a replacement CM927 will it work with the existing Relay box?
I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything, as money is tight and I dread a mess, so I would be really grateful if anyone has any suggestions either way!
My dining room radiator gets hot mostly all over (apart from a bit at bottom right not as hot as the rest). The conservatory radiator...

Hi
Just wondered if anyone had a good idea to pipe this radiator up using the existing pipe coming through the floor.
The customer has had all their floor recently done so nothing can be changed with the pipework.
Ideas so far include pipe extension piece or maybe an offset bend inwards both...
