Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Could someone give me some plumbing advice Please

Holy chit. I'm LMAO at some of the expert advice given here.

Kenneth is right - all we can do is guess via the Internet, but I'd bet that you've got a cross-connection somewhere that's allowing a hot/cold bleed over. Assuming the new work was done properly,(you don't mention if a qualified plumber did the work) it's most likely a failed cartridge in a single handle shower valve or faucet somewhere in the house.

The easiest way to fix this problem is to call a plumber that knows what he is doing.

I can see the next thread will be: Can someone on the internet tell me how to fix the smoke coming from my electrical panel?

Throw water on it !!!!!!!!

if the faucet new,did it do the same thing with the old faucet? if it didn't then the faucet is your problem. have you run enough water in the sinks to see if it will cool off to.sink faucets have les water flow so if you have a hot water heater problem it would take longer for the water to cool off in a sink faucet .

It's possible that detritus entered the hot water pipe prior to connecting the mixing valve. Or that the valve was assembled improperly. Low water pressure can also affect some mixing valves.

Best advice is to get a good plumber in..

Other than that, I assume the "hot outlet" of the boiler supplies both the faucets and the shower?

Logic would then suggest this is mostly likely to be an issue with the boiler or the old pipe work/plumbing somewhere..

I would run the shower until it goes luke warm, and then turn off the cold water supply and/or isolate various other appliances around the home..As you are carring out this process, if shower water suddenly runs hot, you've got a cross over as suggested..

You can do similar and have somebody turn on the cold water at various basins,/faucets and also flush any toilets...

If there is a cross over, the drop in pressure by turning on the cold water should reduce it to the point you can detect the shower starting to run hotter..

Remember it might take a minute or two for the effect to be noticable....
