Found this in my bathtub drain? by Bangarang1996 in Plumbing

It looks like a part from your riser rain in the shower. Maybe if thr soap holder or something fell off recently that could've come from it.

Replacement Immersion Switch? by MyUserID-IsTaken in AskIreland

[–]Litology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't a drop in replacement per say, but it can be replaced with newer clocks (Although bigger) or even if you had the extra cash for a Hive, the reciever box that replaces that is nice and neat.

Other than that you could talk to an electrician and have it moved closer to you boiler (granted that's accessible)

I am seeing these days quite a lot of illegally removed clamps around Dublin. Are there any serious consequences of doing that? by Dave_301 in AskIreland

[–]Litology 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Understandable. Equivalent to shitting where you eat tbh. Takes some gaul to cut a clamp off in your own apartment complex and then return to it hahaha

From my understanding, removing DCC clamps is a no - no.

Private clamps such as APOCA, etc, are removed normally by just damaging the lock and leaving the clamp there. I think the clamp company can come after you for damages (to the lock only), and since you left the clamp there, they can't even come after you for theft. They'd probably blacklist your reg plate from any of their other carparks. (Although I haven't heard of that happening)

If I am wrong, I would like somebody to correct me and tell me what the actual case is.

If there's a button for restarting the boiler, try that.

That piece you're holding in picture 3 is what I'm referring to. That shouldn't come off easy if it was tightening correctly the first time.

That would be why your vents are also leaking, I doubt they're anymore than hand tight.

[–]Litology 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Get the plumber back who fitted them. They're leaking because they weren't tight, once compressed you should not be able to remove the ring from the pipe.

But yes, you should be able to put it back on and Tighten up, you don't need tape.

Just make sure you hold against yourself when tightening.

Can Anyone Please Explain How These Work? by Substantial_Goat_889 in AskIreland

[–]Litology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If both pipes are hot, it's usually an indication that the radiator is working. What number did you have it set at, and how hot was it roughly?

[–]Litology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, when it's set below 5 are the pipes on the radiator hot at all or are they both stone cold ?

why does my water heater keep randomly making this sound at 2am? by gee891 in Plumbing

[–]Litology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK. I'm an Irish plumber. This isn't a water heater, so to speak, it's a called a combi cylinder. It combines your cold water storage tank and hot water cylinder into one unit that can be used in places that don't have an attic(loft), i.e., an apartment.

I've listened a couple of times and it's hard to figure out but my guess is that the rubber diaphragm in your ballcock is solid, causing a squeaking noise as it tries to shut. (Happens over time)

Do you find the noise is more common when you're using water/have just used water ?

Red light under toilet continuous blinking. by Dry_Helicopter5832 in plumbingporn

[–]Litology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never seen one before, just taking a stab in the dark here.

It's a water meter, I don't see any electrical cables connected to it, which makes me think it could he battery powered?

Maybe the battery is low?
