    Very old stopcock leaking

    Slightly more expensive and a little more bulky but I much prefer Philmac transition couplings to lead loc fittings when coming off lead pipe. And with the transition coupling you can go on into anything plastic or copper in any size 22mm or 15mm even 28mm. With the lead loc you usually have to...

    Draining down combi boiler system with faulty drain cock

    If you're confident repairing the pipe afterwards you can use a self cutting drain valve at the point most convenient i.e. Closest to the back door or whatever.

    New Glow worm 12 energy ERP boiler on existing Y plan system.

    New Glow worm 12 energy ERP boiler on existing Y plan system.

    have sent image of reg card to email address specified in that post. I didn't realise there was a separate gas safe area. In the meantime, Am I going mad are are these MIs particularly unhelpful ? Nowhere does it tell you to wire the pump to the PCB although this is standard practice now...

    Draining rad circuit in reverse maisonette

    Because there is no door, entrance is on first floor two bedrooms and a bathroom on ground floor into a light well (which I havnt got access into) there are windows in these ground floor rooms but I'm not sure the external ground level is lower than the rad valve I'd be draining from.

    Hi Best thanks for that, I need to have another look at it, I've got a feeling that being on a hill the light well which is on the other side of the window has a higher ground level than the level of the rad valve but I could be wrong. There is a drain in the light well which I should be able to...
