valve

Hi Read the forum loads in the past but first time posting... I've just had 2 Sunvic motorised zone valves fitted to control my new heating. One controls the under-floor in the living room, the other the rads in the rest of the house. The motors driving the valves to open / close make a...

My gas valve failed completely so I replaced it (after only 34 years!) with a 'seller-refurbished' one. That also wouldn't open so the seller sent me another - and that didn't open either! So I bought a new one (old stock) and fitted it - and that doesn't open either! I also gave it a tap when...

Hiya, Is there a way for me to turn off the valve off due to the nut (as arrow shown on pic) disfigured? I've tried with spanner, it seem that the metal is soft and it disfigure it rather then turning the whole nut.

Hi, I've just fitted a triple thermostatic valve from victorian plumbing. The top control appears as if it should be on/off. The middle control is the temperature control. The bottom is a diverter which I will switch between Shower head and Auxiliary shower hose. I have connected only the hot...

Water softeners are one of the most confusing things to research on the web in my opinion. People who sell them drop straight into that snake oil selling mode even though they are valid appliances which do have genuine value. I have recently had one installed; a Monarch Midi. I have learned or...

Hi all hoping somebody can help. Noticed last week that when the hot waters on some of the radiators are coming on for the 30 mins that the hot waters on for. I've turned most of the radiators off but that only hides the problem :unsure: I've tried moving the manual/auto switch on the...

Hello there, We've recently purchased our first home, and I have been updating the controls for the Central Heating / Hot Water. Our original programmer/timer was the SwitchMaster 400, that allowed [Hot Water] or [Hot water + Central Heating]. We wanted to be able to control these...

I recently moved into a new house and was looking into removing the radiator so I could paint behind it in the next few weeks when I start decorating. When looking at the valves, one end has a TRV and the other a different type. I closed the TRV and then went to close the other valve and found...
