    Hello, The old Baxi Potterton Promax 24HE heat only, installed when the house was built in 2003, is on its last legs. I've decided to replace it and after some research I've bought a Viessmann Vitodens WB1B316 (part no. 7416307) 13kW heat only boiler. The downsizing of the boiler is not a...

    Noobie query for toilet inlet hose

    Fitting a new burlington toilet, but not sure about what kind of attachment I need here. The pipe is 15mm and I presume I need a male-female flexihose (see picture) but these seem hard to find. Can I use a 'nipple' and if so what size would that be since I don't understand how these measurements...

    How do I get a new flexible hose to engage without leaking to inlet valve bottom entry?

    The inlet valve bottom entry to toilet cistern developed a drip that flowed under toilet and dampened grout on tiles. Initially I could not figure where leak was so fearing it was an underfloor pipe I called out the original plumber from 13 years ago. Turns out it was the inlet valve to...

    Disconnected water inlet valves

    Hi, I recently had a new kitchen fitted and it appears that the old cold water inlet valves (one pipe with 2 blue T valves connectors for old d/w and w/m) have been left in situ without being capped off. I’m very worried that they’ll leak, especially as they don’t have a cap on them. Problem...

    Ideal Boilers 14mb inlet pressure

    It says in the manufactures instructions that a 24kw ideal boiler will work ok with a gas inlet pressure of 14mb or more. With a working pressure at the meter of 19-23mb this will be far greater than the allowed 1mb drop for the pipework. They allow 1.5mb drop for the gas valve too. If...

    Soil pipe inlet too high for toilet pan

    I'm replacing a toilet pan & the current install has a pan connected to the soil pipe with a flexi wate, but the pan exit is almost 100% lower than the soil pipe entry. Short of setting the pan on plinth, what would be the correct install?
