We've just had, ( 2months or so ), wavin ufh installed, everything ok until a few days ago when the whole manifold started to vibrate really badly, narrowed it down to the thermostatic actuator bouncing, ( for want of a better word ), tried adj it to stop it, ok for a few seconds and then starts bouncing/vibrating again.
i might add, this is the valve that looks like a trv and is situated on the left hand side by the pump.
After a few calls, the plumber who installed called round and has decided that the valve inside the body is faulty and is ordering a new part.
I'm not convinced about this, but will let him replace it and see. Meanwhile, I was looking around the various forums and come across another similar thread from a few years ago which concluded in a by pass valve being fitted to the manifold due to the water pressure being too high, unfortunately the person who started the thread never stated if this was successful or not.
Has anyone come across this problem before, and found out the problem, I'm not saying the valve isn't the issue, and all will be resolved when it is repaired, but at this time of year I really don't want to be without the ufh for too long.
