Hi everyone! There's an annoying drip in the top tank which is constant. It's not overflowed or anything but I am concerned it will. After reading this forum I came to the conclusion it might be a faulty ball valve (simply going off what other people have said about similar issues). I have no...

Hi. I'm new to the forum and have a bit of a brain teaser looking for expert guidance:hurray: I have an oldish Glow worm ultimate boiler which I fitted 20 or more years ago. It has separate circuits for heating and DHW. When fitting, I found I needed to add an additional pump to the hot...

Hi, I am in the process of replacing a 22mm gate vale on the cold water feed to a shower. I had to cut the gate valve off because I just couldn't unscrew it , no matter how hard I tried. In the process of fitting the new ball valve, I have found that the pipe is a few cm short and does not go...

Good afternoon, I have been asked to replace a stopcock under the sink with a 1/4 turn pegler style valve on the incoming main. I have had a look through water regs and it doesn't say you can't (or should I say I didn't see it!) so wondering if anyone has any views. Elderly resident with...

Hi, My overflow has been constantly going from the loft cold water tank. On looking the ball valve was very old and had been bent and tied and all sorts and it was leaking. I think it was a part one valve. I have tried replacing it with a part 2 valve. I have it in place and tightened...

Hi all, I'm off to fix an overflowing loft tank this week. I'll be taking a new Part 2 FOV with me. Just wondering... would you bother fiddling round to replace the diaphram/washer/etc, or just cut to the chase and install a new FOV? After all, they're so cheap. Thanks again for your advice...
