Mixer Taps from the 1970's

Hi

I have an Armitage Shanks avacado bathroom suite from 1976 and need to replace the bath mixer taps. Can anyone recommend a site that supplies styles from that era?

Thanks

Hot Water Temperature

Hi,

What temperature should hot water be?

I have a thermostatic cut out device strapped to the side of my boiler but when I set it to 60 degrees the water seems very hot. Yet, when looking at advice this is the recommended setting. Is it fine to turn down?

Adjusting Lockshield Valve

Hi

I understand the theory behind balancing a system, but I have one simple question to ask. Which part of the lockshield valve do you adjust?

When I remove the plastic cover there is a metal rod about 15mm high. Is this what is turned or is it the nut that it sits in?

Thanks

Removing a radiator then adding inhibitor

Hi

If a radiator is removed, drained and then re-connected should inhibitor be topped up via expansion tank in loft? The system is a conventional condensing boiler.
