Looking for an Underfloor Heating specialist

I had Speedfit UFH installed a couple of years ago. There have been various problems due to poor installation, but we seem to be down to the last one: The manifold leaks when it cools down.

So about once a week the boiler cuts out because the pressure is too low. I keep having to top the system up, which is not doing it any good either.

I tried tightening the connections on the manifold but it still leaks. The installer refuses to do anything about it because I tried tightening the nuts myself -- it's all my fault apparently!

Does anyone have experience of these particular manifolds? To be honest I'd be happy to just have it replaced -- I'm sick of the damn thing!

Cheers,

Duncan

Clarification: it's leaking on the large threaded flow and return couplings. The pushfit connections are fine.

I have a feeling that it's leaking from where the couplings are attached to the manifold -- in the factory I mean, not where you screw your fitting on.

Also, the threads have PTFE on them.

Here's a photo showing where one of the leaks is from:

Here's a photo with an arrow showing where one of the leaks is coming from:

And here's another close-up photo of the real thing. You can see where I've shoved Plumber's Mait in to try and stop the leak:

Try Ziggy, he is a very experienced underfloor heating specialist in electric and water sytems.

I tried Ziggy. He didn't bother replying to my voicemail.

(Interestingly, he's also from Tinsley.)
