    Safest to try this after turning off the water in the street to avoid a possible soaking.

    No need for 22mm pipe in an unvented system. Just increases dead space losses.

    Backer / Cement board for low level UFH

    I lusted after underfloor heating for years. If I'd done it just 5 years ago my system would have been incompatible with 2023 current standards and very disruptive to install. I then discovered large 2-2 radiators can be sited unobtrusively and perform brilliantly!

    Snapped screws on heat exchanger require a whole replacement?

    Youve done well to keep this boiler for so long. Search Youtube for "Do Not Repair Ideal ISAR and ICOS Boilers"

    Carbon Monoxide Alarm Reading

    If the house is not detached you need to alert your neighbours. Offer to take your new detector in and check.

    Can I connect my washing machine waste pipe to this standing pipe?

    Yes make new downpipe as long as possible. I'd convert to pushfit after a new compression Tee so any blockages could be cleared.

    Can I connect my washing machine waste pipe to this standing pipe?

    Yes. But you’ll need a U bend at the bottom to isolate any smells.

    Can I connect my washing machine waste pipe to this standing pipe?

    Put a new downpipe parallel to that one and Tee it in near the bottom.

    I need advice on a replacement for my Honeywell C21 Programmer, please

    You should also have red sleeving on that yellow fire cable to conform with regs. If you move it as I stated it should work. No need to thank me.

    Got it now the fire line is yellow thought it was an earth. Terminal L has to be jump connected to terminal 1 with an additional short cable. Yellow fire line has to be moved from terminal 4 to terminal 3. But 240V so make sure you feel competent to do it.

    Is your boiler fitted with an optional controller with time settings, and these are the settings you use to control times? If so your old controller was doing nothing.

    Radiator is heating up only to 1/3 of high

    The reseller ignores UK regulations about efficiency information. So why would they produce a decent manual?

    The feed to your boiler is connected straight onto the power supply, your old programmer was doing nothing and the boiler was permanently powered up. It sounds like the new programmer is working fine but has no conductor to the boiler to fire it up. The back box needs a wiring modification so...

    This radiator doesn’t put out a great deal of heat and the Amazon description of its heat output makes it seem better than it is.
