Microbore - bloody hate the stuff. But it's in my house and that's that. I've successfully taught myself how to solder copper pipe and reconfigured my entire upstairs hot and cold pipes and waste stacks for a better living space. However I am now onto moving a couple of rad's and I am trying to work out if using a 10mm to 15mm reducer and adding approx 2 metres of 15mm flow and another 2 metres of return for a bathroom radiator in particular will have an impact either on that particular rad i.e. more volume in 15mm to take up or screwing up the balance for the rest of the set up etc. Thoughts?
In typical plumber fashion, they'll be with you in about 8 weeks! (Don't hold your breath; they probably won't turn up then either).
Don't do it. !!! Let me do it instead. £1000 to you. Mates rate. Seriously it wont make any difference. Why bother with a couple of metres of 15?? Unless it's on show in the new position
sundries are very important. Have you seen the price of a smoked salmon and dill sandwich in Waitrose?
You've upset 'em all now asking for a plumber when clearly a radiator is a job for a heating engineer
3 reasons - I have spare 15mm and don't want to buy excessive amount of 10mm for a short run, the rest of the fittings are 15mm and yes it may be on show though I am hoping I can actually chase it into the wall depending on obstructions
Keep changing parts until it works is only stage one. After that suggest power flush no matter what the fault (British gas stylee) Stage three. Replace boiler whilst sucking through teeth.
My first six months at plumbing school was spent just learning how to look like you're chewing a lemon whilst flicking through the plumb centre catalogue in a customers kitchen and recommending they don't put the deposit down on that cruise just yet.
For any plumbers reading, Chanel for Men now do a "Fags-and-Boss White" fragrance. Why not a dab a bit behind your ears before that next job
