Hi all
My daughter moved into a house a while back, which has had the boiler replaced with one of these new fangled things that sits on the kitchen wall, and has about a thousand pipes going up to it. No problem there - seems to work ok. She is now looking at replacing the bathroom suite, and good old dad is going to get roped in to do it. Over the years, I have done much DIY plumbing on my own houses, and would not normally have any trouble shutting off supplies and draining down as required, to disconnect the old bath, basin etc. However, all of my experience in plumbing, has been on what was previously the 'conventional' indirectly heated stored hot water systems. Now as I understand it, these new style boilers heat the water 'on the fly' like an electric shower, or an antique geyser ?? So, my question is, what do I need to do to isolate the hot and cold feeds to the bathroom, and does anything need to be done after connecting up to the new suite, other than turning back on, whatever has to be turned off to do the job ? I have a "Part 2" question on this, related to my own installation, but that can wait until I sort out what I'm doing here ... TIA Arfa |
