PTS (Plumbing Trade Supplies) 320 PTS outlets stock 25 most popular spares

PTS continues its mission to make life as easy as possible for busy installers thanks to its ever growing spares service.





Since the launch of its own dedicated delivery service and the opening of the first standalone spares branch in 2008, PTS’ service now features six express delivery vehicles and 140 outlets, making it simple for customers to get the parts they need in the shortest amount of time. In addition to the branches which offer over 10,000 spares lines, all 320 PTS outlets now stock the 25 most popular spares so installers can get everything they need from one quick trip to their local trade counter.

The express service allows orders to be processed immediately, with parts delivered to site on a daily basis for a unique ‘full time’ service which customers instantly reacted enthusiastically to.

Boiler news, make sure you have your boiler serviced regularly

Some interesting news worth reading...

Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service was called to a thatch cottage in Winchcombe Road, Sedgbeberrow, to extinguish a boiler fire at 11.40am on Friday, January 14.

Four firefighters in breathing apparatus used two hose reels to put the fire - which started in the ground floor boiler cupboard - out by 1.45pm.

Station commander Mark Strutt said: “The occupants were alerted to the fire by a smoke alarm fitted in the cottage and had managed to get out themselves and save the family dog before we arrived.
“Knowing they were safe, our main priority then was to prevent the spread of fire to the thatched roof, and by cutting away and using a thermal imaging camera, we were able to contain the fire to the ground floor with only minor damage to the first floor.”

While the boiler at this property was relatively new, Station Commander Strutt advised that everyone should have their boilers serviced regularly to minimise the risk of fire.

He also stressed the importance of having a working smoke alarm fitted on every level of a house.

Staying warm in winter - be Safe and Energy Smart

For very important information relating to staying warm and more importantly safe this winter please see the following information:

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Safety:
Any fuel-burning equipment or appliance, including wood stoves, fireplaces, space heaters, barbecue grills, furnaces, water heaters, boilers and ranges, has the potential to produce CO, a poisonous gas that is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and non-irritating.
When breathed, CO combines with the blood and prevents it from absorbing oxygen. CO can be produced by incomplete combustion, often the result of improperly adjusted or poorly vented appliances. Annual check-ups of these appliances help ensure proper and safe operation of these types of appliances and equipment. To stay safe:
•    Have your gas central heating unit checked annually to make sure the heat exchanger is not cracked or rusted and that the burner area is clean.
•    Follow manufacturers' operating instructions properly for gas heating equipment.
•    Do not use stovetop burners or ovens to heat a room since they are not designed for this use.
•    Make sure to follow the blue flame rule. Natural gas flames should burn blue except natural gas fireplace logs which burn orange to have a more realistic wood burning look. Make sure the fireplace damper is open at all times when using gas logs.
•    Crack windows slightly if using unvented space heaters.
•    Consider buying a CO detector as another line of defense against CO poisoning. CenterPoint Energy recommends buying one with an audible alarm and continuous digital display; make sure it is tested to the national standard for residential CO detectors (UL2034 or IAS NO. 6-96).



If you smell gas:
•    Leave immediately and tell others to do the same.
•    Do not use electric switches, telephones (including cell phones), or anything that could cause a spark.
•    Call CenterPoint Energy from a safe location. Do not use e-mail or the Internet to contact the company about a leak, and never assume someone else has reported the leak.
•    Alert your neighbors. CenterPoint Energy checks suspected natural gas leaks at no cost to customers.
•    Never try to repair a natural gas leak yourself. Leave all repairs to a trained technician.
