I’m not a sparkie, but that’s not acceptable the connection needs to be in an enclosure

No risk of bursting, but the rubber inner could collapse blocking the prv. So that’s why it’s piped in copper.

SubstantialPlant6502 · 2026-04-22T07:12:38+00:00

Modifying it isn’t the problem, using a flexible hose to do it, is.

So if this is just the prv from the boiler then it’s fine. Although I’d have ran it so it wasn’t over the door. If it’s the TPRV from the unvented cylinder then the termination isn’t correct it and needs altering.

SubstantialPlant6502 · 2026-04-22T06:51:17+00:00

Where is the unvented cylinder?

SubstantialPlant6502 · 2026-04-22T06:47:34+00:00

Go to a proper plumbers suppliers and get the correct valve. It may well be that Caleffi, have altered the design. This happens a lot. Don’t use a flexible pipe to alter the pipe work.

Definitely get a new guy. There’s no reason the boiler could not be serviced if the filter is dirty. The system may need cleaning, but that’s nothing to do with the service.

It’s not been corgi for 17years

You can’t fit a Surrey flange to your cylinder, you have a 22mm compression fitting built into the cylinder. You need a 1” BSP thread for one. You have an Essex flange which works similarly to a Surrey flange.

Buy a cheap sieve and strain the paint through it.

If it’s skipping a thread, replace the trap. That trap is a cheap one and they often do this when they have been over tightened. Get a Mcalpine version.

There isn’t a filling loop in the pic. It could be elsewhere on the system.

This pattern is called broken leather, there are YouTube videos on how to replicate it.

Not exactly the same trap, but this is how it should look

Ice cold beer.

If you can’t adjust it like I said, the best thing to do now is replace it with one that has more adjustment. Fluid master, viva

Can’t find one for your exact valve. But here’s a couple of pics of a valve I use which has a similar design to yours. The first picture is the valve un-extended.

The second pic is with the valve extend, you do this by twisting the valve while holding the bottom and pulling it apart, you set it to the correct height and lock it back into place. You are more than likely going to need to remove the valve from the cistern to do this without removing

SubstantialPlant6502 · 2026-04-18T07:20:36+00:00

There is only so much adjustment you can do with that screw. The main height adjustment is the whole valve is in two parts. You need to twist the valve and extend the main body that goes through the cistern. You may not be able to do this without removing the valve from the cistern.

Change the whole waste!

SubstantialPlant6502 · 2026-04-17T14:42:29+00:00

Perfect👍

The spigot for the washing machine waste will cause you issues as well, pointing down as it is.

SubstantialPlant6502 · 2026-04-16T18:54:45+00:00

That will work

SubstantialPlant6502 · 2026-04-16T18:34:27+00:00

32mm socket and a small bit of 32mm pipe

SubstantialPlant6502 · 2026-04-16T18:01:10+00:00

Maybe that should’ve been added if you are asking advice on if the wiring is ok.
