Can anyone tell me if this boiler can be used to run an old gravity hot water system and pumped central heating system. The gravity side is 28mm copper pipe and the central heating 22mm pipes. The existing pump is on the CH flow side. If not I presume the hot water side will have to be converted...

I have a Stelrad Group Ideal Mexico Slimline RS55 boiler and just recently it has stopped firing properly. When the hot water or central heating is turned on, the flame in the boiler only stays in the area around the pilot light and the gas further away from the pilot light does not seem to be...
Well, we all know it doesn't. Or rather, you can mostly get away with the pipe only just inserting into fitting when in a tough situation.
Whether it be copper into compression or end feed or waste pipe into fittings I've yet to have a leak when circumstances force me to insert only a little...
I'm trying to cure a fully-pumped central heating system where the radiators become warm when only the hot water is turned on. This has always been the case ever since the customer moved in.
The three port has AB on the left, A to the top and B to the bottom. I was wondering if it's possible...
So custard had an old potterton fuego super backboiler on gravity HW pumped CH, and as part of a phased change over to other heat sources has put in a thermal store and converted to fully pumped.
BB used to have two 28mm pipes for HW and two 22mm for CH. The 28's have been capped and 22's now...

3 bar pump supplying the house, hot fine, cold sporadic. The cold supply is fine but at the taps it's poor. Stripped the pump down (Stuart Turner) found nothing wrong. It seems to build pressure then loses it within seconds.Anyone any clues or come across this? ta

Great news today. After five years and £10,000 in expense a full force patent is granted for the PORSADRILL core diamond drilling system.
Not only does that STOP anyone from blatently copying our original idea from 2005 BUT it allows us to negotiate hard with retail.

ADVICE on CONVERTING PUMPED CENTRAL HEATING GRAVITY HOT WATER TO FULLY PUMPED
Hi advice needed please, looked at a job recently which required a cylinder change due to pin hole. Currently the cylinder is heated by gravity 28mm flow & return going to oil fired boiler, and another separate...
Hi All
I'm just looking for a little guidance. I know questions similar to this have been asked millions of times before but it seems there can be some quite conflicting answers.
I am in the process of changing my hot water cylinder, the old one was gravity fed but the new one requires a...

This is what I have done so far. The boiler is floor standing in the kitchen with 28mm gravity circs going up to coil in...

The system consists of pumped CH with the pump located in the boiler casing (GW Hideaway 70 BF) the CH pipes go under the floor.
THE DHW cylinder is fed by 22 mm pipes (should be...
