    TRV Question

    Hi I am installing new radiators and changing the TRVs for more modern ones. My question is with respect to the original pipework there is a TRV 'body' in place which the old TRV fitted to. Should I change the TRV 'body' or just screw the new head onto the existing body. thanks in advance. AliG

    Anyway to bung an automatic air vent?

    I've noticed the automatic air vent on the top part of my boiler is leaking. Here's a photo: i.*********/Elb7Xqo.jpg It's in a position that would be bugger to replace so I'd rather not have to deal with getting it sorted right now, and I was hoping there would be a cap on it to close the vent...

    I just moved into a flat with a 1.5 kitchen sink (1 1/2 pipes). The waste pipes are setup similar to this picture here: Sadly, the piece that is circled was cut to short by over a 1/2 inch so it doesn't fit well into the bottom part of the piece. I went to try find a connector like that but I...
