Apologies if this is an obvious one. I've been searching all through internet, building standards, NBS and everywhere and couldn't find a conclusive answer. I'm aware for an individual flat or house a main wastewater drain would be c. 110m diameter. Would you suggest 160mm diameter when multiple flats run into it? (See the attachment) Thanks a lot in advance! Stephan

Hi, looking for some advice. I have 10mm pipe feeding my radiators but its not feeding enough water into them as they don't produce as much heat as they should and have some cold spots. I don't think the pipes are blocked up because I have flushed them out with cleaners and removed and cleaned a couple of the radiators out and still not enough heat. I fitted a new radiator which also doesn't produce enough heat although it is a bigger one than the others. I have 22mm mains pipes coming off the boiler which I'm guessing reduces to 10mm under the floorboards upstairs at some point to feed the radiators. (Boiler is in an upstairs bedroom) My question is, can I cut the 10mm pipe at a point before the radiator and attach a 10/15mm reducer and feed the radiator with 15mm pipe? Would this work or would I have to lift the floorboards and replace all of the 10mm pipe completely for 15mm for it to work? Forgive me if its a stupid question, I've not long moved into my own house and still learning bits and bobs ?. Any help appreciated, cheers.

Just about to put my Norstone cladding on the exterior of the house and need to ensure the ASHP pipes look the part!! I have put in some ducting and now need to decide how to finish the pipes off so it creates a nice junction as it passes through the Norstone. The ASHP will be sited approx 1 metre from the pipes and about 300mm from the wall. I know I need flexi pipes to limit the vibration but can I go with one long pipe from ASHP through the ducting and make the connection to internal pipework inside thus avoiding a right angled union outside or do I need to have a right angled union as the bend will not work without a 90 connection? ( Hope this makes sense) I could site the ASHP nearer than 1 metre if it means I can do away with the 90 union. TIA
