Onoff

This is how it was when you lifted and it slipped. Right hand D shackle the wrong way round. I suspect that as you lifted, the pin of the right hand D pushed the left hand D upward. How you have the Ds now is better.

You say "puncture" as in make a hole in I assume. Isn't that defeating the object? Can't the fire get up through the hole?

Ta. I reckon I would struggle fitting one of these from your link above: The logistics...can't see how I'd wiggle it all in without moving the boiler. Guessing the window cill went in after the pipes were soldered. I can see perhaps why it was done with copper and soldered elbows. Thinking I'd have to separate at that elbow to the right of my hand, the one without any paint on and re solder...doable but too knackered to think at the mo. The more I try and think the more I think I could do it! ? I'll sleep on it!

Btw I've spent a fortune on Acrypol+, Chromapol and various other acrylic roofing compounds on my 2 dormer roofs. They still leak.

Tantric diy here, it's the journey not the destination!

If your really unlucky, like me, they'll have "repaired" just the flat roof area by sticking felt on an just lapping it under the slates (tiles in my case): Water will get under there eventually!

Presumably 25 ish turns of normal ptfe tape on this stopcock? Wind in well but don't wind back. Like with the bib tap fittings:

The nice man from Warmflow came back to me: "The boiler is best installed top and bottom opposite sides for efficiency reasons to make sure the water is circulating completely through the boiler and not having a hot and cold side, which will happen if the flow and return are piped on the same side. So if you changed the pipework to box the boiler in for efficiency reasons, you would actually be making it less efficient".

At least nobody can ever accuse us of finishing early... ?

Demoralizing, when you realise you've started more projects than you've got years left to be able to finish.

Don't be silly, those indents act as a key for the render.

Weirdo.

No idea. It's actually in what's a bit of an attached outhouse that's been prettied up. After a bit of net searching I found, see the top line: Looks like I won't be moving that pipe then!

I've emailed Warmflow.

Nor does it fit with Onoff diy ethos.

Because I want to box the boiler in and it's a pita having that pipe there. I can only get a very slim timber frame in level with the window reveal. To have a bit of u shaped pipe sticking out of the wall will look silly. The full height boxing in will be easily removable as an aside. I do share your concern despite what Nick says ?) and am thinking "diagonal" flow from bottom right to top left is needed. I might contact Warmflow. My guess is when installed this was just easier and they didn't fancy messing around with or didn't have the 28mm 45deg fittings Nick mentions. Could be wrong, I'll fire off an email to Warmflow and report back.

Yorkshire or end feed? Wonder if I'd get a bend in there...I could bend a bit of 28mm at work.

All joking aside it looks pucker. ?

First problem, the original 28mm pipe clips seem pretty short. <25mm from wall to centre of pipe. The IntaKlean isolators are 70mm wide/long. I suppose I could just turn them through 45deg. I'm going to swap the boiler flow pipe from one side to the other but it's offset by about 20mm. I wonder if the vertical pipe might just move across a tad when the clips are off? Might end up a little off plumb...

When I did mine my first thought was wider door to the bathroom. Then new, strong ceiling joists in case a hoist is ever needed. Bath is slightly sunken so bath floor is level with the bathroom floor. Making an area open plan for the elderly can be an issue. If they fall, they're falling further and hitting the floor harder. Long term I see a plastic garden chair and me being hosed down!

It's a sad fact of life that anything shipped with screw terminals particularly can loosen in transit/ storage. Consumer units as a good example. People throw them in but only check the security of the connections they have to make, trusting the prewired stuff to be be tight.

If you haven't bought a Fugi Cramer tool kit buy one now. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cramer-Grouting-Silicone-Profiling-Applicator/dp/B07H8K5W8D/ref=asc_df_B07H8K5W8D/?

Euphemisms abound..

Sorry, what's F&E?

Thanks. Was just thinking less to drain down to add the cleaner from the header. As you say though, I'll need to drain down to fit the Magnaclean! I'll see if I can borrow a 28mm pipe slice from work. I'll do at the weekend. Kid less then so nobody but SWMBO to complain they're cold! I'm going to have to sort this one I think. When I've drained from here before it takes an age to drain, hardly comes out at all to start with. This isn't anyway the lowest drain on the CH system. Down to 4 different floor levels in the house since I did the bathroom! ? Looks like 1" and 2" spanners.
