Combo Gas Boiler - Immergas Zeus Mini

It works for weeks and then has a sporadic issue with igniting the boiler? I’ve uploaded a video so maybe you can take a Quick Look to see the issue? Just so I know what part to replace. To be honest it’s...

 

This is an RSS feed of thread: Dovestar from leafy East Hampshire saying hello

Content of the thread: Hello plumbers forum. I’ve jumped on here to introduce myself. I run a small home refurbishment business on the Hampshire West Sussex border which involves a lot of multi trade skills.

This is an RSS feed of thread: Should I tighten a screw on tub spout more than I can by hand?

Content of the thread: I remodeled the master bath. I'm trying to put the tub spout on but having a hard time getting it flush to the wall.

This is an RSS feed of thread: two shower pumps two bathrooms one flange

Content of the thread: The first showerpump i fitted close to the immersion with warix flange and it works fine for the small bathroom.
I fitted another pump for another shower in another bathroom about 2-3 metres away and that seems fine.
i am wondering if i am likely to encounter problems later with the second shower pump. I think the warix flange prevents bubbles and pitting.
thanks in advance

This is an RSS feed of thread: Waste pipes above ceiling in new extension

Content of the thread: Hi guys
I have expressed an opinion on this waste plumbing which is by a builder on an extension to a terraced house belonging to a relative. My opinion has not been received well so what do we think? The new black pipes will soon disappear under a pitched roof brought across from the left. The narrow pipe, apparently 40mm drains just a sink upstairs. There is a vertical 110 mm going down in a...
