    Why does it need to be accessible? Your shower valve connections won't be, the soil connections wont be, etc etc. ?

    +1. ?? Dont let it sit on anything sensitive though ??

    Not quite ? That install appears subterranean so the only way to get the discharge out is to pump it. You have no 'excuse', pardon the phrase, as your cylinder is upstairs and you have every reasonable opportunity to get D2 installed as per the book. If you can demonstrate to BC that you cannot, reasonably, locate the boiler to allow this, they'll give you permission to deviate from the MI's and sign it off as an exceptional circumstance. Edited to add : hence the availability of the combination pump ?

    @Bitpipe MultiSolve should remove the sika. Mechanically remove as much as possible then use the spray with a cotton cloth. ?

    Nope. The clear pipe discharges condensate as well as prv water so will give you a false reading. Separate the grey prv pipe from the pump, ( rear right vertical connection which should be a push fit into the black rubber pump connector ) and put that into a clear bag. Don't use a jar as you need it to not evaporate.

    It's both combined Dave. It's a pumped solution and the discharges are allowed to be combined in situations where you can demonstrate to BC that there was no practical alternative location. It has to be piped in plastic all the way to soil as it has the condensate water in it.

    Oh shit. We've done it again

    Get signed off and retrofit one

    One of these ? Cant find a small basket, and the flue ones are much bigger ( way too deep ). Maybe get some mesh from b&q and make one yourself? They sell small pieces btw, save you buying a big sheet.

    A decision you don't have to make, as if you go through the house to run the D2 you won't get a choice as it'll HAVE to be in copper. That so expense ? ~£20 a length and 3 lengths ? @ProDave, I've just realised something. You'll have to fit a hep trap doo-da or your D2 is going to make a lovely chimney buggering up your airtightness

    Same with Roman and Impey, but the only way to get a warranty with their products

    Pretty much what you have to do. Aquapanel is like cement board, gritty and reinforced with fibre meshing layers, whereas Hardi is more like Asbestos ( replaced by the likes of Ellis board nowadays ) in looks and consistency. I prefer to stick to one discipline on site so I usually just beef up the carpentry and use 12.5mm MR ( green ) PB. Haven't lost a patient yet.

    If a bent tap connector is used then the issue has an immediate resolve. Go fit one and end this madness. ? For anyone reading this, and scratching their head in bewilderment, on the upper left hand side of the cistern is the cold water inlet. It comes out horizontally and is 'staring' straight at the big timber vertical stud alongside. A hole cannot simply be drilled through the timber for the pipe as there is a bolt exactly there ( providing means of fixing the stud both to, and holding it away from, the wall ). The solution I've suggested is for a 90 degree connector to be fitted which brings the cold feed up the gap at the left side of the cistern, between it and the stud, as there appears to be sufficient space to mount the fitting and for the radius to turn down accordingly. Depending on how many real ales @Onoff drank last night, this may get resolved today Ok.... Lets go back to 'Clive-cam' where we can see the adult male emerging from the nest in what appears to be cream Y-fronts and slippers.

    If it's not too tight, just remove the elbow and solder on an M&F bend so you have your down turn with near zero length. It allows termination below the grid of a gulley because it's assumed that the water level will still always be lower. I personally don't like that option as there is, IMO, more chance of blockages by leaf litter / other causing freezing issues. The end of the pipe getting blocked is the number one concearn.

    It happens, and not just in Welsh. My wife's good friend ( and maid of honour at our wedding ) is Pakistani. Every time my wife was around her and her family she had to say "oi, in English please" as they'd often switch back and forth without even realising. I grew up not speaking fluent Welsh, but in a house where my 2 stepsisters both learned and spoke fluent Welsh, as their dad was fluent too. Add to that me doing GCSE level 'book' Welsh but inadvertently reverting to the local dialect, when asked a question in the classroom, which got right up the teachers nose. I got a D Oh, and as for Welsh pubs, the further out you go, the Welshier the crowd get.

    I'd have preferred it if the fittings were black TBH. Can they be easily changed? Nice job
  17. Nickfromwales
    I'm lucky. I've got a unit
  18. Nickfromwales
    Eeeep. Its 'supposed' to terminate 100mm above ground level so damp leaf litter etc can't surround it and freeze. I'll understand if you don't speak to me ever again. Regs should have clearly stated that the discharge should be clearly visible ( as it would be discharging potable water ) as it would be with the overflow from a CWS. I'll get my coat and hat.

    I'm wracking my brains for both of us as we speak. Somethings gonna give. ?

    "I was GIVEN 34 sheets of 18mm OSB" Son of a....... Can you get me some mates like yours please? Cheers for the shed mini-blog btw ??

    Your a big boy now Joe. Wipe those tears away and come for a cŵtch cariad.
  22. Nickfromwales
    For £350 for the one I linked, what you waiting for?
  23. Nickfromwales
    My makita planer is nearly 4 years old, does a 25mm rebate with 4mm cut depth. It's still going flat out and never missed a beat. Things a damn animal. Tres bien ??
  24. Nickfromwales
    Yup. Flat faced so won't take a nut and olive. Got to be a flexi or tap connector.
  25. Nickfromwales
    Hang on Shirley, you'll get a bent tap connector on that outlet. Take the frame out, PTFE one on and carry on sucking down that tasty ale ? One of these maybe?
