Hi All,
So I live with my family and am to buy my own house soon probably in the next few months. For the past 6 months or so I have been heavily interested in home renovation and DIY type work in preparation for my new house.
The problem is that I have zero experience. When I mean zero, i...
What's a reasonable price for a water softener and iron filter installed, in the U.S.?
For a name brand, just replacing the old units, so no plumbing needed.
As in title, what's everyones favourite brand of end feed fittings? Mines are Yorkshire Endex as they have never let me down, and are thicker and much better made than the cheapo brands.
On the cheaper fittings, from the diy chains, not only is the copper thinner, but one end of the pipe goes...
Was today the deadline for submitting something vat related? I'm not vat registered so don't know.
This maintenance firm that I've been doing some subbie work for said they were supposed to submit their vat whatever it is today but because I haven't handed in my receipts for materials I've...
Hi everyone
I am leaving the forces after 23 years shortly and want to retrain as a gas engineer, growing up in a trades household I was pretty much dragged out with my old man regularly with the hope of earning a quid. However that was 20+ years ago.I joined the Navy not as an engineer but...
Says Marley on it and half inch. Looks like solvent welded plastic leak fodder.
I decided to leave it be and changed the float valve from inside the cistern. If I were to have to join onto some of this in the future (although i've never seen it before so prob not much chance) would it just be...
Hi, hope I've posted in t he right area.

We had a BG rep round recently to quote, he suggested...
Hi all,
The connector between the 15mm flexible condensate hose and pipe from my boiler has snapped. I'm struggling to find a replacement connector. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction please. Also, what's the best way of removing the old connector?
Thanks in...
I've an old 'Shetack' spanner which I've never used for years, also got a 1/2 & 3/4 Monument 'hook' jaw spanner which is badly worn and slips. According to Monument you can't get replacement 'hooks'. I've also got a Rothenberger telescopic version which I've found useless except being spring...
I'm doing a bit of renovation and finding all sorts of old pipes in the walls that go nowhere (blanked at both ends or just hanging) with the scrap value of copper might as well get rid. I'm not a plumber by any stretch but I am curious. I have this in the attached picture The one on the right...
I'm a software engineer diving head-first into the world of embedded systems design and development. This question is basically about "plumbing" -- what's the best way to physically wire up a particular circuit. So:
I have a small microcontroller evaluation module, the CC11EMK, with a 2x5...
As title really. If you had to recommend one, which is it?
I use Honeywell but find the connections a wee bit small.
I probably use them through habit and I only use them when I'm not installing a Vaillant.
What are you lot using ?
what temperature should you set a modern condensing combi boiler too?
I know in an ideal world you should try and setup so you get a return temp of 55 or lower for maximum condensing but what about if you want maximum heat quickly as possible to satisfy room stat?
I normally measure the...
