    A great result from that tricky repipe! Looked pretty hard work though, and well done avoiding the mad nail spikes 😱 - I would definitely have been caught on them!
    Your story at the end about the blockage is amazing! I wonder what could block a gas main like that? Maybe soil or similar in the pipe from when it was laid?

    Quality work. You could have potentially left those old pipes you capped off at floor level touching the underside of the valve. Might have looked like the pipes were connected from eye level? Either way not ideal but customer might have gone for that

    On my home system I had to mains flush 3 times & use Fernox F8 to get rid of all the deposits that when a lockshild was turnd tight sounded like crushed stones, after a good clean & filled up with Fernox F1 my average flow temperatures between 32 & 42 for a very comfortable temperature, oversized radiators but I made a mistake to as for 10mm microbore plastic, next time I go for 28 then take it down to 15mm near to rafistors,
    Can I ask anybody used.Fernox DS40 is it any improvement over Fernox F8 ?

      So far since a good clean up & got rid of crunchy scale on the flow regulator side I've managed to get flow temperature down to around 38°C, on Stelrad K2 high efficiency radiators, to be honest I speck the system to have oversized radiators so efficiency was in my mind,

    Had a blockage like this the other day, used very similar technique and worked a treat but I did remove rad valve first and put a bit of 15mm on then teed in the foot pump with iso after the tee to ensure bigger sized bore.
