header

A pin header (or simply header) is a form of electrical connector. A male pin header consists of one or more rows of metal pins molded into a plastic base, often 2.54 mm (0.1 in) apart, though available in many spacings. Male pin headers are cost-effective due to their simplicity. The female counterparts are sometimes known as female socket headers, though there are numerous naming variations of male and female connectors. Historically, headers have sometimes been called "Berg connectors", but headers are manufactured by many companies.

    For reasons that I won't go into. Is it possible to control the water flow to a cold water header tank without having a ballcock in the header tank? ie to place some sort of control elsewhere in the feed pipe before the water gets to the header tank - turning off the mains water supply would...

    Insulating 50-gallon water header tank

    In my loft I have a circular 50-gallon cold water header tank which had a lash-up of insulation. (It still does.) An Internet search of suppliers in my town (population 170,000+) failed to find a suitable jacket, so I ordered one on-line (where there was hardly any choice). It proved to be...

    Low loss header, more efficient with temp sensor?

    I've got a Greenstar 8000 going through a low loss header feeding 3 circuits, two trad rads and one UFH. Will it increase efficiency by instaling a temp sensor on the header and setting the boiler settings accordingly?

    Biological growth in header tank.

    In the summer I had the boiler and 6 (out of 10) radiators replaced. Last week I discovered a growth in the plastic header tank, which until then had always contained clear water. I skimmed the growth off but it is starting to appear again. What caused it and how do I remedy it? Thanks

    Moving Water Header Tank

    I have a loft main water tank. I want to lower its height (at the moment raised higher in the loft by 1 meter to give more pressure I think) so I can put it in the eaves ready for a future loft conversion. I like the idea of a header tank for water shortages and being able to flush the loo if...

    Hot water venting into header tank

    Hi guys. I have an issue with the header tank in my loft being full of hot water. The vent from the cylinder goes into the cold water tank so it’s not coming from there. There is a vent pipe that comes from what I am assuming is the hot feed to the cylinder coil (50mm copper looks like it come...
