REDSAW replied to a thread 1 mm gap between tray and frame in Bathrooms, Showers and Wetrooms

yes it will if worked in properly, it will bond a to b. seal it from the outside only so the water can drain back into the tray via the frame

When the pump fails what happens to the water in the stove? I'm not HETAS but it sounds dodgy to me personally :)

diamondgas replied to a thread Replace thermocouple - GSR job? in Central Heating Forum

Welcome to the forum vido.ardes :) Is this your own home? Legally only competent people are allowed to work on gas appliances. The way someone is recognised as 'competent' is that they have been trained and are registered with gas safe. What you do in your own home is entirely up to you. However should something go wrong then would you be able to live with yourself? Why not have your appliance serviced by someone GSR. I'm sure they'd replace the t/c as part of the service and charge you additional for the part only, should that be at fault. The T/C is a safety device, if it's tripping out there may well be a reason other than it failing IMHO :)

lol just out side my covered turf (25 miles) but i had to check as the last time i was there it was from one of the members on here!. i think this house is a basement gas meter?. latest report it is believed there are still 2 men trapped under the rubble although they can see evidence of one of them, so not looking good..

diamondgas replied to a thread Pressurised or combi ? in Central Heating Forum

It's flow rate you need to know Sparky11 .. Check the spek on the shower see what it requires minimum to function adequately. You can have a working pressure of 0.5bar but a delivery of 20ltr/min +, depending on pipe size... Pressure is much less important than flow rate IMHO ... :)

You need to know what your cold water supply flow rate is Sparky11... Doesn't matter what you put in regards appliance or unvented; if the incoming supply is poor then you're on a loser unless you get it upgraded IMHO :)

diamondgas replied to a thread 5 mbar operating pressure ? in Gas Safe Register Forum - Public Forum

If you are talking about inlet working pressure then there's a process of elimination needed before you can ascertain where the fault lies ... If you are as you say, Gas Safe, then you'll know the process for diagnosing cause for pressure loss! Untill you get to the bottom of the issue however I'd advise that the appliance is turned off as unsafe!!!
