Shouldn't they be providing input? If they can't you need better installers!?!

My 5.5L V8 GLS 63 makes the same wonderful noise and is a lot quicker than 6.6 secs. Surprising that's as slow as it is for a hybrid, but I bet it's dialled down in the factory and is capable of much quicker; I expect they stop utter and outright abuse of the battery and drive train to promote longevity and reduce early failure etc.

I doubt you'll be able to use that much insulation with a screed. You'll be removing a lot of volume of screed and by the look of where you pinch points are, you'll likely just have to leave them uninsulated. It won't matter one little tiny bit btw, so my advice is to step away from micro-managing this to death and accept that the flow temps will simply be so low you won't even know the UFH is on . If you have any pre(mis)conception of having hot sections of floor where the pipes group together, then you're going to be proven pleasantly wrong, as it just doesn't. Losing such large volumes of screed at very localised areas, especially at entrances to rooms etc, will be a bad idea and is something I actively avoid, so the way the pipes are bunched up are a bit daft and not how I'd lay it out. Living room should be fed from the utility and the pipes for those two loops taken under the partition stud wall, as that deletes 4 pipes from the first lot of congestion. Yes, people "frown" on pipes going under partitions, but the reality is zero ill effect as you're stuck to this project like velcro and can mitigate against any misadventure. Entrance hall needs to be completely reconfigured, that's just silly. Pipes can then be spaced equidistantly in the double doorway leading into the kitchen / open plan room. Close, but no cigar I'm afriad.

Modern plastic aka push fit pipe just doesn’t suffer like copper does regarding condensation. Quite an odd thing.

Ya. Less material = lower production costs.

Is this built yet?

Yup, but the materials now. A good few have refused temporary disabled access ‘ramps’ but I think you’d be ok with compacted type1 and some pavers either side. Will be there a while I guess.

Probably failed, so it won’t hold the pressure your putting in. Are you 100% sure you’re getting air into it? I assume you know the cold mains needs to be off and at least one hot tap open to do this?

That, and to reduce the amount of material used in manufacture, to bean-count.

If I’m buying an HRC pump, and fitting it, with power and controls, then I’d be using it to its fullest advantage. Not just using it for one single outlet (if a new build and you can get insulted HRC pipework in with ease anyways). Get the basins and kitchen sink on the HRC and you’ll never look back.

It’s called trying to help. Can’t say we didn’t try.

Ask the stair company to encompass this so the interface with the stairs is seamless?

“Use the force, Luke……”

Yup. I use it all the time, totally different beast. The only control you need with foam is your trigger finger. Part fill voids, walk away, add more as necessary. After a few trial runs you’ll become one with the foam and wastage / trimming will be minimal; don’t expect to not have to do at least some trimming etc, obvs.

just cut it after it dries?

Yes, he gave an interesting stab at us over that foolish assumption. Who’s have known the cooker and cooking utensils lived outside. I was going to post this, but I fear someone may like it and then I’ll get bullied for that. He has a heating system, it works, it won’t get used. At least the house will dry out in the summer. 🤐

Can be cleaned as you go if just using PVA?

You won’t see the ply as the rest of the floor covering comes up way higher than that. You’re very brave putting SLC straight down onto the chipboard, but if someone says they’ll warranty the job without even a 3.6mm (aka 4mm) ply binder then it’s on their head I guess. I’ve never laid anything directly onto particle boards, ever, but I have had lots of insurance work from others who did so.

Have a look at the Grundfos Comfort pump folks. "Most", maybe, which means you need to spend more time looking and reading Manifolds at the plant room only. This is how you delete the large bore dead legs at source. If you have "manifolds everywhere" then these will need to be fed from 22mm and will be the opposite to the solution of reducing dead legs.

Slow down..... This. Easy roof are another. Panel sizes change faster than the tray manufacturers can keep up with, and then they have to go for MCS certification which takes even more time. If you want contact details for a very good installer, ping me a PM. He can tell you what fits into what etc, and then you can go decide.

Another one for the free 1hr chat I offered you, lol. You are a tough cookie to crack....aka stubborn. Same here.

This is what pays my bills. So few people get this properly aligned before breaking ground. Grab this with both hands, it's just so much less stress. Watch the in's and out's, as most fill the space with pipe and forget it has to get back to the manifold somewhere.
