Looking for a cradle (Ideal Standard)!! Discussion Thread

Hi All,

I'm desperately looking for a cradle (the assembly that connects the flush unit to the cistern, in case I'm using the wrong terminology) for a discontinued Ideal Standard 2 button pneumatic system (Part number: SV93467). I really can't find it anywhere.

Can anyone recommend where I could get hold of one, or even have one available for purchase?

Thanks in advance

Seeping pipe connection to Loft Cold water Discussion Thread

Had a problem with hammering noise coming from pipes (triggered by hot water, though it could be eased if you put the cold water on).
Went through everything i could, checking joists etc. Problem appeared to be the ballcock in the loft cold water tank.

Ive replaced it but for the life of me i cant stop seepage out of the nut for the main connection. Though ive only tried

Water hammer/noise from pipework at night? Discussion Thread

I attended a Job where the customers complained about noisy pipes more often late at night bur sometimes in the day. While I was there, there was no issue but the combi boiler was set to preheat and they said they usually put the washing machine on late at night.

With their permission I turned off preheat to the boiler and added a mini shock arrestor on the cold feed to the boiler near to where they were hearing the...

Found a plumbing course but not what I expected? Discussion Thread

Hi all,

I posted a question back in 2020 so rather than bringing that thread back up thought I'd start a new one. I've been in a few jobs since I was made redundant back in 2020 but still in IT. I am still thinking my calling is in a trade and Plumbing seems to be the one I'm drawn to the most, I've managed to gain a little more DIY skills as in putting up more curtain poles in bedrooms, fitting a new basin in the...

 

Indirect (Boiler Fed) Megaflo Doesn't Stop Heating Discussion Thread

Hi,

I noticed yesterday that when my HW is on, that the boiler runs constantly... I even tested this morning after it ran last night so no water usage overnight and it ran for 30 minutes before I turned it off on the controls. No dripping from Tundish.

My suspicion is the thermostat in the Megaflo which presumably is demanding heat continually. The boiler temp is 60c so it isn't going to overboil the water the...

 

Capping off redundant pipework question. Discussion Thread

Hi all.

I done some work for someone a few years ago and I've been getting paranoid that things haven't been done the right way.

I capped off a gas cooker supply that was no longer in use, left the redundant pipework capped off at the appliance isolation valve in the kitchen.

I'm getting paranoid that if someone later down the line for some reason, was to drop the pressure in all of the pipework, say during a boiler service...
