where can you get these from

in that case no dead legs - unless you included pipes running to other taps which are off at the point the bath is running and therefore could be "dead"

pipes do run up to loft and back down again with no bleed vents - so could be air in pipes but would have thought this would be removed by running taps for a while - no air appears to be comming through

replaced pump yesterday - don't know what you mean by "deal legs" - orinal pump fitted 8 years ago with no problems and all taps in constant use - could be air in the pump/pipes but surely leaving the taps running for a while should have removed this

Just found i've got the same problem with the cold water as well - so NRV's on the hot and cold exits from the pump then Surely if the water is coming through all taps then then there can't be air in the pipes or can there?

pump is located at the base of the hot tank with feed in coming from the top of tank.

Have just replaced an 8 year old salamander RHP75 pump with a new one as the old one was making a horrbile noise. When i turn off the hot tap the pump continues to pulse (on/off) and the only way to stop it is turn the pump off and on again or turn the tap on again and off slowly. Appears...

Probably not good practice but is it against the regulations to clip SWA cable to a fence.

many thnaks - appreciate the advice - now need to buy 3 metres of trunking for 1 metre run withe 3 bends (internal, external and flat) - see why i wanted to stay away from metal if possible - might be easier to move the CU

seams a bit excessive - is that a requirement regs. Note that metal truncking, nor metal sockets are a requirement for a garage and that PvC trunking and normal white sockets can be used. I'm only talking about running tails down and a long a wall about a metre from a CU then out through a...

Got a new install underway in a garage. Meter outside and CU inside with tails about 2 meters long and want to put these in conduit but 2 times 25mm plus 16mm earth bit big for 25mm PvC conduit. anything to say I can't use 32mm or 40mm domestic waste pipe.

excellent - thanks a lot

No intention of working live - new supply not even in place yet - just planning where cable runs are going to go. Question was does the supply from the meter need to go to terminals 1 and 2 with load to CU coming from termianls 3 and 4 or can you connect in reverse. Intend to have the...

I'm considering fitting a mains swith (one of these) www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Consumer_Units_Index/Contactum_Mains_Switch/index.html and www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp;jsessionid=GDYVRDP0WONQMCSTHZPCFEY?id=74436&ts=83508 between the meter (new supply to garage) and CU. Due...

given up with that - usually get through to some bimbo
