Anyone got any ideas why my oil boiler is taking so long to drain down? Still a steady trickle a few hours after starting. All the power to the boiler is off. I tied up the (new) ball valve so in theory the header isn't filling up any more. Fells like the header is drained to below the outlet. I can only get my arm over the top to "feel". Feed to the header is a seized 15mm stop cock, mains fed so I've isolated the mains just now. Rads all drained down, I removed some rad bleed screws upstairs and down to speed that up. (Snapped he square head off off one old rad on the downstairs single pipe system and Sod's Law it only has one. A problem for another day).

Valves ordered. Cheers.

Thanks for the tip, was just looking at them on SF! That's what I'll do then. Only just starting to drain down my CH now. Had a crap night with vermin in the wall/ceiling then the poxy cat bringing something back and devouring it on the stairs! Ended up sleeping on the sofa. Off to get a 28mm pipe slice at TS first. I forgot that I took work's one back. If I get the IntaKlean in I can let the system cleaner run round whilst I wait for the decent pump valves. Going to be a cold night here!

When replacing pump valves (28mm pipe) should I go for gate valves or ball valves and is a name like Pegler important? Cheers

You're not in an AONB are you? That complicates pd rights...ask me how I know! ☹️

These any good? Seem to recall it was a fluted style you were looking at: https://www.archiexpo.com/prod/reguitti/product-58834-2222898.html

You can get knobs you can turn? Found at random: https://www.villahus.co.uk/shop/86-brass-door-handles/3251-door-knob-single-turning-brass-orion-50mm/ Got a pic of the style of knob you're after? People on here are good at hunting down what you want.

Not to everyone!

Just got to the bit in the book where Jobs launches iTunes and stuns the World with the fact that Apple can and do offer the whole package from software to hardware to distribution. Lots of competitors wondering how the Hell Jobs pulled it off (read genius / force of will imho). MS & Sony who in theory had the means to do similar, try & fail miserably. Bloody long read mind.

Yep, know the history. It's like Apple took Unix then decided what the users wanted and locked it up.

Out of interest have you tried a modern Linux distro? Mint is superb. Zorin allows you to have a Mac looking desktop.

Sausage Sandwich I heard.

Tesla deliberately make things simple for their Apple users.

You can't catch your hip on a concealed hinge as you brush past it naked! I'd go for latches.

Are you sure...you'll dream about them now...never be able to look at those horrible "ordinary" hinges again... ?

This guy does kits: The build detailing ideas have a few issues being discussed in my Timber Carport thread on here but overall it's pretty good.

These are so incredibly easy to fit: AM60Installation.pdf

There's square ones and round ones. I prefer the round ones. I have these as does @AliG who put me onto them: https://www.doorhandlecompany.co.uk/excel-hardware-precision-bolt-through-magnetic-tubular-latch-18364/ He also has concealed hinges. Something else for you to want after! ? https://www.doorhandlecompany.co.uk/concealed_hinges/ A mate has just fitted these throughout, I don't like them. Are cheap and look cheap: https://www.morehandles.co.uk/eurospec-magnetic-tubular-latch-tlm50.html

Better still find a wobbly table.

Until yesterday I'd never heard of DZR brass. Noted it whilst looking for a couple of 22mm ball valves to isolate a section of the CH system. Looking at SF then a Pegler DZR brass valve is maybe 3x the price of a standard Pegler one. The question then is is DZR worth the price? CH system will now have an inhibitor in so guessing that'll help? (As an aside I do have a seized 22mm valve elsewhere that's on the mains (very hard) water feed from the CWS tank to the HWC. This is one that I fitted in place of the seized gate valve on there originally! I guess they will size up if not excercised regularly?)

Thanks. 3 speed I think. Any particular reason why it would suddenly become noisier after never having been?

Creak? A fixing issue, something loose? The frame side of my install doesn't make a sound. The soft close seat is though on a bit tight I think and creaks a bit opening and closing. Keep meaning to strip and smear some silicone grease in there.

B@llocks! When the CH is on its like there's a little tune being played in the pipework, a regular tappity tap noise. Guessing the Grundfoss pump? Of course the valves either side are all crudded up! ?
