  2. Dulux Diamond Matt ( scrubbable ). Stuff goes on like a dream, and is like bloody enamel when dry.
  3. Wont matter as the SA will not be fed off the HW side
  4. Ale or paint? Yup, 5L will get you on your way. Do not expect this to be / or use it as a finish paint. You can rub it off a month later with a wet cloth in seconds.
  5. Of course there is / are. Thats why you mitigate against that with either a blending valve, or a combination of a blending valve and a temp sensor that closes a zone valve at a set temp rise. It'll be as safe as you make it, or it'll be as safe as the manufacturer deems fit to make it as per the instructions that will accompany it upon its delivery. The second resettable stat on the oil boiler will likely not have not operated in time to save the Sunamp unit, however as I have not designed for a boiler instance as of yet, I must admit I haven't asked the question or explored that marriage fully enough to be able to advise definitively.
  6. There is definitely a sense that there could be more hands to the pump. AndyT must look at my name coming up on his phone and cringe, as I think I take up a fair bit of his time with my many Q's and A's. . This week must have been crazy in fairness, but that's not an excuse for you to have not received any attention. For a bit of clarity, SA sell boxes filled with magic goo. A retail supplier. Nowt else. They don't design systems they just give an indication of what type of unit would match your basic remit and give indicative costs thereof. If you went to Baxi for a combi boiler and asked the same of them you'd be given the same response, and then be told to go and consult your plumber. Im not here to promote SA or 'stick up for them', I just like the product.
  7. 1000% Use Leyland High Opacity white paint and watch that just sink in first coat to a near perfect finish. Its a chalky, thick, horrible paint but makes an amazingly good base layer which I leave to go COMPLETELY dry and then sand back as a paint-come-filler. Results are faultless this way, and trying to judge anything without it being uniformly white is a waste of time and usually makes you work ten times harder.
  8. Ill add more to this later. ? The PCM 58 would do it, and will recharge off the boiler. You just need to cap the max temp of the flow so you don't (cannot ever) cook the PCM and kill the SA.
  9. Or These Nope. It's a sure fire way to a leak. I used to do it as a 'lad' but it generated a fair stream of soaked kitchen units and call-backs. Use either of the linked fittings. The first if they reach, or the ones I linked if you need some pipe between to make up distance.
  10. Reversible ones are why the knock out isn't done, but is half done both sides. Normally it's a centralised overflow so maters not which side the drainer is.
  11. Id say yes to the UFH for the sake of putting it in for future redundancy, but I'm with @PeterW on the Aircon unit. Actually my first thought was fan coil heater so you can literally walk into the room and switch the heater on with nigh-on instant results. The issue you'll have with ufh is not being able to cool the garage down quickly when your pounding the electronic pavement. Think of something to fortify the ufh, as with regards to your above remit, it doesn't match well.
  12. Prob is, your brain says use the diamond tipped drill. You convince yourself this is right. Wrong. The drill bit causes the glaze to shell off away from the hole edge and ruins the sink. Do as the manufacturers say and hit it out. Sharp, single taps almost a clout and bingo. It'll snap clean out. They kind of put it where it needs to go . I foubd a pin drift ( a flat faced centre punch ) the best. You won't smash the sink it's porcelain. If you cut with a holesaw you'll regret it. If you were supposed to cut with one the manufacturer would say so. They don't.
  13. Plenty of thermal mass there
  14. The only time that 'hitting rock bottom' puts a smile on your face
  15. Ok, excellent debate folks, but the thread has now been sufficiently derailed for me to go dizzy, so I don my sheriffs badge. Battery storage from now on please, anything else goes bye-bye. Mods
  16. Thats a plenty good enough cutter. Anyone bending the rails is pushing down way too hard whilst scribing the tile. Go for it.
  17. Ola .
  18. Don't forget to make sure the collection hose is a proper SUCTION rated hose or it'll collapse. Just throw a filtered basket type pickup on the end and don't put the pump in the stream. Just thinking liability / water / electric / other folk etc. A cheap drill powered pump will fill up a water butt quickly enough.
  19. Ill try and keep up Thats some lane lol. !
  20. 200m of pipe after the boundary stopcock ? Most houses have 20m or less from street to stopcock so 10x more than the average.
  21. Remind me what size tiles you're cutting ?
  22. 200m of pipe. This the "big long lane"?
  23. Over 60 lpm ? What size pipe is it ?
