    Underfloor Heating Mixer Valve not working

    Hi, I just put a couple of these in: Problem is, the mixer valve is not regulating the output reliably. eg set boiler to max (78C) and get 57C going into the UFH circuit, which is way too high - it should be regulating to 35C on MIN according to the sheet. I'm not sure if this is a problem...

    Shower Mixer valve issue

    I want to swap over a shower mixer valve and it appears the previous installer got the hot and cold the wrong way round. The pipes to the valve are fed directly from a Stuart Turner twin pump, is it as simple as changing the outlet pipes over on the pump to correct this issue

    Brittany bar mixer valve fluctuations in temperature

    Shower valve off combi boiler goes hot/cold and is never constant. Does anyone ever “service” these or is it quicker and cheaper to replace whole thermostatic valve? Can’t imagine there’s much to them apart from the cartridge and inlet filters.

Where can I get a blank chrome wall plate, about 220 mm square to cover the...

    Problems with Drayton MA1 mixer valve

    Hi from a new member and thanks for taking the trouble to read this. Problem is that the water has not been heating.

    Shower mixer valve inlet centres (what does +-5mm mean)

    Hi, I've come across a few thermostatic shower mixer valves where the technical spec states the inlet centres are 150mm (+- 5mm). What does the +-5mm mean, if on the valve body the distance of the inlet holes are fixed at 150mm. Does it mean that the inlet centres on the wall can be between...
