  1. just do two runs and be done with it.
  2. the internal bore of the flexy is much less tho, and some are better than others. Those looks like JG ones, so the hose is only 13mm inside. Whilst eg BES item 13753 is compression, it's also 19mm bore, much better flow
  3. the first one is common, it's to do with family fallouts and the possibility of denied access IIRC.
  4. those flexys don't look terribly big bore?
  5. So at the weekend we celebrated a year of PV generation. 2970kWh not so bad eh?
  6. was it actually meant to be above- or below- and if below is it just an understair or an open room?
  7. If the mat floats won't the tiles sound hollow then?
  8. ^ similar experience here, got free "non- dimmable" Aurora GU10s with a batch of downlights and found that they dimmed very well.
  9. Been wondering about this myself, it seems counter-intuitive to me to have a thin layer flexibly isolated from the base.
  10. and if you have scaff and need some up on it, now might be a good time...
  11. going through our TF quotes, the extra cost to go from timber to posijoists was 2-3k, over 120m2. Spans all around 5m.
  12. careful... by the the time you take off flashing kits and valleys it can be a fair bit smaller than anticipated. btdt.
  13. so the irrelevant twisty bit unscrews and the self-tightening conical collet with the barbed teeth still holds firm? not seeing a problem there...
  14. I went with a similar but cheaper option that controls right down to (IIRC) 25c and has an integrated bypass and inlet restrictor ( there's a more basic one without, bit using the same thermohead I think) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Underfloor-Heating-Thermostatic-without/dp/B076KK1KQF/ref=sr_1_119?dchild=1&keywords=underfloor+pump&qid=1594565525&sr=8-119
  15. ...still waiting to hear about them undoing themselves...
  16. what panels are they?
  17. Now I'm gonna strip a connector today to confirm it to myself but it's my belief that the collet doesnt get "done up" on the white domestic stuff. The collet bites into the pipe automatically and grips tighter as line pressure increases like with any pushfit. All the twist does is move the outer stop such that the collet won't depress surely? The horseshoe clip has been used as a positive *lock* for years on the beige and black systems. regardless I'm still waiting to hear exactly what has been happening to cause Nick's comment: " the crap design from undoing and flooding your house "...
  18. no, the rotate bit disables the collet in the same way as the horseshoe stop. So why have I been successfully just pushing pipe into fitting-s per the MIs- of mission critical fittings for years and (other than pipe collapse of vinyl and nylon pressure tube and hardening of O-rings) never see leak or failure?
  19. Nick, I've been around JG and their collets for what? 30 years on gas air and fluid systems. How come you see problems with their domestic water fittings that don't occur anywhere else? How do these fittings leak? If it's fully inserted and under pressure, the pipe aint coming out...
  20. any chance you've accidently got 16mm pipe?
  21. what are your ground conditions?
  22. there's Tees with something running upstairs there.
  23. or you just get them all lifted and queued at one end and position by hand?
  24. no friendly farmers locally?
