Hi. I am slowly but surely getting the boiler (Vaillant turboMax) to be a happier one - not doing anything gas based, just sorting things like a loose NTC insert (screwed in tight but white bit spun and triggered F.1). Anyway, all seemed to be going ok and I had read on here somewhere...

i. Sorry, I thought I had made it clear in my posting that the house has been "de-gas-applianced" - my apology - now using heat pumps, have no intnetion to ever add any further gas appliances - it was only due to the concern over "heavy gas falling to the cellar" that I haven't just had the...

Hi. Before any tells me that if I don't know I shouldn't be messing with Gas - I agree. Please let me explain what I want to do. I have been told by several folks that if I lay the piping out, make holes in walls ready and use sleeving in such holes - so all a gas fellow has to do is to...

I was always under the impression that I only needed to use inserts for going into conventional compression couplings - and not for plastic pushfit couplings. But.............I am about to do another project in the house and wanted to check "to be sure" but MANY years back when I installed the...

Thank you folks. I will try the system reset as mentioned. I don't mind changing the pump out if circulation is the problem - but last time, once I had managed to P.0 it, it worked a treat. It might be time to get some of this "X800" I keep hearing about in while it is still circulating...

I have a Vaillant Ecotec boiler which has, by and large worked well for a couple of years. After it was off during house renovation a couple of years ago, I kept having various problems (including F.24) which were finally solved when someone wonderful told me to run something called P.0 as it...

I didn't meant to rattle you so much - and I am unsure what great rule I have broken other than "Thou shalt not leave a potential customer un-fleeced"? Giving someone I know who has no maintenance contract an RNRR code (useless to anyone else - or them for that matter 5 seconds later) because...

That's a fair and valid point - but if a code is as easy to obtain as doing a 15 second search on google then I am guessing it is not only legit home owners who will be using the facility - which then starts to negate the value of having an alarm. I admit I have known people with a certain...

Well the laser pulls between 30 and 35A - and as it is normally only run at about 1 watt output, tends to be around the 30-31A range - It connects Via a 32A Ceeform coupling and a 32A type C breaker - Type B simply trips out most of the time it is used - unless I do the "soft-start bodge"...

Thank you. That IS a fair point. All machines are fixed except 110V ones but nonetheless if it trips for any another reason your point is right. Will give it some thought. Kind Regards Mark

Through the house, the cable is 10mm, then it is 6mm SWA for about 8 metres to the workshop where it goes into a split load CCU. All workshops stuff is on RCD but woodshed feed is not - the CCU feeds the woodshed on a 4mm SWA cable, via a 20A MCB. This cable is about 10 Metres long. In...

I realise the topic is old but others might still be finding it (as did I) through Google and still have an interest. I had a similar sort of system with a 20A MCB in the workshop then feeding via SWA a remote "woodshed" which has its own little RCD and MCB setup. In fact the whole chain...
