  1. check the seals extremely carefully, that kind of peak hints at a small opening in my experience
  2. and it's windy out there too...
  3. Because @JohnMo says so. And if it works for him, nothing else will do?
  4. "tread lightly on the earth"
  5. I do a bit with Haier -80 lab freezers and they're very good indeed.
  6. with a duff expansion vessel, even 80c could be enough to blow something.
  7. Oddly enough my experience with safety valves- autoclave sterilisers as well as other pressure vessels and boilers- is that the insurance engineer absolutely *must* see them lifted at every statutory inspection and will often remove and pump test them as well to verify the opening pressure. It's not unusual to find a valve stuck badly enough that more than the chamber's safe test pressure is required to break it free which is more than a small worry. Yes occasionally one will weep after this, but replacement is the cost of doing business... I routinely lift the valve of any unit I'm working on to confirm it's *not* stuck...
  8. Do safety/ multi groups not normally have a gauge on? If none is fitted might it be worth the OP getting a gauge and screwing it onto the PRV?
  9. depends is it 16A real and continuous, or chinese...
  10. Befab, Hamilton Contracts, Fees, as a first try
  11. /board. A few years ago mind...
  12. when we were ordering ours, white EPS was £11.57 for a 50mm, vs £13.70 for graphite
  13. floating or sunk?
  14. graphite EPS takes it to 0.031 or so
  15. whilst/ as all the stats and cutouts look after the safety side of things, I'd personally be thinking more about the possibility of (say) a stuck contactor going unnnoticed and the immersion taking over tank heating duties unknown. I certainly wouldn't presume that an SSR was totally trustworthy... /but then I come from a place where accidentally leaving the Willis on was punishable by death
  16. is the oil/fuel ratio correct? What colour is the sparkplug?
  17. Another vote for a layer of EPS. Graphite if you can, it's even more gooder.
  18. how long is this 32mm run?
  19. ASHP output will rise as the buffer heats, the system attempts to keep a constant DeltaT
  20. yep, that is the "bucket" that makes the gully a trap.
  21. I don't have any answers, but do bear in mind that NIE can be a bit different to all the GB providers so...
  22. doing it after boarding surely risks a "plasterboard tent" scenario?
