I have what I think is an older style Mondella/Watermark mixer tap that needs the cartridge changed. I have done this many times on my taps before, but on this unit, I can't find the screw that releases the end cap. Any advice - other than replacing the unit - would be appreciated. I would...
Hi,
DIY homeowner here.
Ist floor of house. Front bathroom hot water draws from cylinder which is heated by the Greenstar 28i Junior Combi located on the same floor. To get from cylinder to bathroom, the water goes up, horizontally over a stairhead, and back down into the bathroom.
After...
Anyone finding these 'failing' early? I'm in Ireland and have never seen these valves opening under normal conditions. Recently, in the last year, I have had three brand new PRVs opening under normal conditions. One of them was on the mains supply which actually has a pressure reducing valve on...
Hi,
The pressure release device in my Triton Aspirante shower has blown; unfortunately I can't work out how to access it to replace it
It is behind the outlet pipe and there's just not enough room to maneuver the outlet pipe around to get access.
Does anyone know how to replace it in this model?
Hello,
I'm fairly certain that the pressure release device in my shower has blown but I'm not sure what replacement part I can get. The shower hose has recently been replaced after the lining of the previous one failed which seems to be something that will activate the PRD. I've now replaced...
Hi all,
I have more than 500meter potable water network line connecting to buildings, tanks say 25 branches which installed underground-main line starting from 125mm HDPE SDR11 to 40mm HDPE SDR11. What size of ARV to be used at ground level inside 600X600 ManHole.
The old Dudley type - long flush press and hold, short flush press and release.
I can't get one anywhere they all seem to be the opposite way around - stand there holding the lever and looking into space for the short flush ! (which we all do more often) and press and run off for full flush...
Hi, I live in a flat and have an electric Evinox Heat Meter Modusat Model RC15 Boiler.
I had a cold spot on a radiator and bled it. The boiler pressure dropped to 0.5bar. A red warning light came on on the boiler as well as on the wall mounted 'Evinox viewsmart' controller.
I refilled the...
Hi, I have an Evinox Heat Meter Mod RC15 Boiler. I had a cold spot on a radiator and bled it.
The boiler pressure dropped to 0.5bar. A red warning light came on on the boiler and on the wall mounted 'viewsmart' controller. I refilled the boiler back to 1.5bar. The warning light on the...
Glow worm betacom 28 not holding pressure changed prv twice with prvs I had in-stock....literally top it up to 1.5bar and it will drop immediately through prv. Don't know if I'm being thick but must be a crack or something in the hydro location I can't see. They are over £100. Can I just cap...
I can’t seem to remove this plug release/ overflow cover. I need to tighten the screw which makes the plug pop up, there is no access through the cover, I have tried prying it off and twisting it, am I missing something obvious or just need more brute force? When I apply pressure it does pull on...
I have a customer who owns a fish shop and has asked me to plumb in the water supply. He requires a sink unit with a water supply from 15mm copper fittings. However he has to move the sink frequently to clean behind the unit and i would like to fit quick release couplings onto flexible pipe to...
Hello
We have recently bought a house and the towl rail in the bathroom was not drilled to the wall so i took it off and drilled it to wall and put the rail back all sound!!
But since then iv had problems the boiler pressure is showing at 0 but everything is working fine hot water and radiators...
Does anyone know why does an air release valve fail (ie leak) on a UFH manifold? This results in pressure drop on the boiler - so no hot water.
It happened about 18 months ago - and was replaced - and now it has happened again.
Is it just bad luck? Faulty part? Not correctly installed?
Is...
Hi there, first time poster, part time DIYer.
Wonder if anyone can help: I've just fitted my existing toilet seat to a NEW top fixing hinge (left side only, right side was ok) and the hinge is now stuck in the seat/hinge cylinder. Basically, I lowered the seat onto the two hinges to get the...
Hi
I'm new to the forum but looking at the excellent content I thought it might be a good place to post my problem.
I have a problem with a Potterton Gold HE 24. It started with loud banging caused by the boiler not directing the supply to the rads, causing it to boil up and release pressure...
Hi
I have a Drayton MA1 3-port mid position valve that sticks in the central heating position when the heating is switched on by the wall thermostat. The only way to release the the little black toggle lever on the unit is to turn off the mains power at the switched fused spur. This has to be...
Hello chaps
Does the PRV lose pressure only because of activity in the heating system or is it affected by the use of hot water taps too? Does the PRV react to hot water use in a combi or just the heating system Please advise
