where is the second light?

See where the arm pivots at the valve, just above the pivot you should see a plastic screw which when turned changes when the plunger is closed so closing the valve
I can prob send you a pic if needed

You can get flareless torches btu they about 45 -50 quid. cant u use compression joints?

bobbych

It is unlikely taht the pump vibrations have caused the leaks. most likey be bad joints. how did u cut the pipe? have u used pipe inserts?

bobbych

Im not 100% sure but it sound like the Divertor valve is not closing properly

I think your valve need a service. You can get seal kits for most valves. Most valves can be dissmantled quiet easily, cleaned & seals replaced

the new mixer need to be of a type suitable for your hot water system. Many now are universal but not all

ie if u have a combi boiler or system boiler, is your water pressure low or high.

Look at valve spec and it will say what systems it is suitable for. As i say most are for ALL systems

bobbych

a sand and cement base is the normal way to level it. Dont just pack the low end. the try need to be supported over most of its base or it will flex and break the seal to the screen

bobbych

closing your lockshield V half way wont balance it. Its a starting point tho.

bobbych

its fine to do as yu say but 1 consideration is if the bath drains fast it may try to pull the water seal from the basin trap. It may gurgle. If it does you can fit an anti vac trap to the basin

bobbych

A Towel warmer is just a fancy radiator. all rads should have a lockshield valve to prevent accidental changes therefor an unbalenced system
