    Why does a 3/8" bush cistern lever actually measure 6/8" in diameter?

    Or does the 3/8" refer to the radius of the bush, not the diameter?

    Comi boiler flow rates.....

    I have basically always been under the impression that if a boiler was specced wrong the hot water would run cold. I.e if you have 20lpm with a boiler that delivers 12lpm then you would still get 20lpm coming out the hot tap but it would only run warm as the boiler cannot handle the flow of...

    Just starting to have the trickle of plumbers round doing quotes for boilers and, as I suspected and hoped WOULDN'T happen, they're giving me different bits of advice on what I 'have' to have, along the lines of the 'I shouldn't install it without x/y/z'. I've currently got a 14 year old...

    What does your van actually cost per hour?

    I bet few tradespeople really know the true cost per actual working HOUR of their van. By cost, I mean depreciation, road tax, insurance, servicing & parts, fuel etc. If you assume the actual working year is perhaps less than 45 weeks (hopefully!) or whatever.
