    Hi, Would anyone please be able to identify this older type of push-fit connector? The pipe is 15mm PX and I intend to carry out some modifications and replace with new 15mm JG Speedfit fittings. Are the older type fittings easily demountable? Thanks in advance.

    Will a Vaillant 150 Timeswitch fit and older Ecotec?

    I've got an older Vaillant Ecotec combi with a 130 Timeswitch that's broken, can the newer 150 timeswitch be used on it rather than paying over the odds for a 130? I know you can put the pins in a couple of different positions but can't remember if it fits the older ones or not. Thanks in advance
