Mixing valve

[armb]

Plumbing Trade Supplies very helpfully let me collect stuff at just after 11am on Saturday even though they close at 11 (I thought they closed at 12 and called on the way to swimming). Sadly the mixing valve they were sent isn't the same configuration as the one in the catalogue that I ordered. Did finish off the guttering.
And we had a very nice Valentine's Day dinner at the White Pheasant.

After some discussion, got five right angle compression fittings this morning to fit the new valve with cold and mixed swapped over compared with the existing one. Could take some fiddling, so I'll leave it till next weekend (with a bucket under the existing drip).
(Soldered joints would be neater, but since a poor solder joint by a professional plumber appears to be the cause of the intermittent loss of pressure in the boiler circuit I have more confidence in compression fitting than learning to solder (especially doing it in place without draining the system). (And, while I think I probably have a blowlamp and could borrow one if not, I definitely have spanners and know where they are.)
