Cleaning out a thermo bar shower

Jul 17, 2007 9 Replies

Can't remember full name. Just 'Amber' None of my allen keys fit the grub screw. Is it imperial sized? Asking because they still use1/2" bsp threads on this stuff.



Thanks.



Arthur


1/2" BSP is still the universal thread on screwed fittings - in fact the range of BSP threads have been re-named and 'adopted' as an iso standard.

Not really answering my question, mate.

But it was addressing your misapprehension !

I knew the shower inlets are bsp. Its just the grub screw I was asking about.

Thanks anyway.

Sure its a hex & not a torx? Difficult to see on the smaller sozes.

Sorry, Meds. Bought a set from machine mart. I think I have to descale the bastard thing.

Get some Fernox DS3 - comes in a large tub for about £13 - enough to make tens of gallons of descaler that actually works.

Seconded, although some loon will be along any minute to scream that one should only buy diluted gnat's piss from Unilever/Reckitt Benckiser.

Been out to local hardware shop lunchtime today. Got HG (hagesan) Blue..to be immersed in it for 30 mins.
