    Single/Double/NRV Check Valves Query

    Good morning, I have a query about single check valves/double check valves/non return valves and their purpose. I moved into a flat built in the 1960s and I think the bathroom was last upgraded around 2007 perhaps even before. I am going to get it completely redone next week (new suite/...

    Single lever monobloc mixer tap with new cartridge is still leaking (not dripping from spout).

    The tap was leaking from its body (under the 2-way swivel handle; where you access the big brass nut and the cartridge) when turned ON more that a little bit. I've replaced the cartridge and it leaks in same way. It doesn't drip from the spout nor leak when turned off. So, as far as I can see...

    Single Pipe Valve / TRV Help

    I have a single pipe system (Yes I know most people will say upgrade to 2 pipe). I have installed Honeywell TRV and have some issues (Rads not getting hot) which I believe are due to the TRV (reduced flow), have tried bleeding rads, balancing etc. If I take the TRV head off they heat, put it on...

    Washing machine, dishwasher and single waste trap spiggot

    Hi, I've recently moved into a house with this waste trap (pictured) with twin spigots. As you can see the spigot on the left is already in use with the boiler of all things (?) so I'd rather not mess with that. The washing machine is now installed (after I took this picture) and uses the...

    Old Single Pipe heating system problem

    I have recently had to cap 3 radiators in a single pipe system and since then the system has stopped working. The boiler works and the pump seems to turn on but water doesnt seem to circulate. I thought maybe capping the radiators had broken the system loop but dont think this is the case...

    Changing 2 zone heating back to a single thermostat?

    We bought a new build a few years ago which I think at the time regulation said heating must be in 2 zones which I believe is no longer the case. It’s a small property 3 bed semi and has a very open plan design so it really didn’t need it. On top of that the stat in the mater bedroom upstairs...

    Single or Double check NRV

    I understand the physical difference between the two, but wanted to know in the context of plumbing and heating, when is one used vs the other? Also, in terms of pressure differential, would either stop a buildup of pressure on one side resulting in an increase in pressure the other side?

    Hi. We moved into our house last year and the kitchen tap has been dropping since we've moved in. Finally getting around to looking at it! I'm guessing it's just needs a replacement washer or something, but I can't figure out how to open it up. Any ideas? It's a Swan neck tap, with a single...
