    I have issue with the Ideal Independent 30 - rated at 33.7kw gross (30.4 nett) The working pressure at the meter is 21mbar, and at the test point on the isolation valve only 18mbar. Clearly over the 1mbar drop allowed in BS6891. The MI mentions a pressure drop between the external gas cock...

    just over 5mb working pressure on inlet on a vaillant turbomax 282........

    ......but 21mb at meter with a pipe run of 22mm for about 5m with 4 elbows and 0.5m of 15mm into boiler!! could this be a faulty gas valve rather than a pipe sizing issue? any thoughts lads? don't think its a regulator problem as its 20mb at the meter when boiler is on.

    Not that I did, but just thought I would mention it, after checking the inlet working pressure at the boiler hundereds of times without a fault, today I installed a boiler, inlet pressure 25mb, fire the boiler up and pressure drops to 14mb. So I check at the meter, 25mb standing, fire boiler up...

    Leaking cistern inlet tap connector

    Hi I've just replaced the ball float valve in my side entry toilet cistern but when I've reconnected it there is a leak where the tap connector meets the plastic thread. I'm not sure why.
