    Thank you, but that is an operating/user manual not a technical/service manual.

    Miele technical manual, F24

    Hi, I am looking for a technical/service manual for Miele G6100 dishwasher. I have fault code F24, which I believe relates to the heater relay or heater element. Can anybody help? I did see a manual for a much older machine on this forum, but elsewhere I can only find operating manuals. thank you

    Paste thickness

    Hi, I am hanging 1400 grade lining paper on walls & ceiling using solvite paste. My question is how thick to mix the paste. e.g for a '10 roll' pack 'normal wallpapers incliding lining paper' the mix is 7 litres to the packet. But it doesn't indicate the grade of lining paper, I suspect the...

    Skimming chases

    Hi, I have some chases to fill, a few are quite wide. The cases are partially filled with mortar/pva to between 2-5mm. The surface of the mortar is scrached. Before the first skim should the mortar be brushed with pva, if so what pva/water ratio, should the pva be wet, or left to go tacky or...

    T&E in conduit, grouping, derating questions

    I take your point. Cost would be one reason, another would be that as I didn't design the installation to start with. I am a bit reluctant to say to the spark that I dumped the 6mm for a 10+ and that I hope that it doen't interfere with any other of his specs or calcs. I don't know whether...

    T&E in conduit, grouping, derating questions

    Yes, I agree John & BAS were saying that all along. I didn't dispute that. I wasn't saying that I was going to do it that way (clipping), but agreeing that it would indeed solve the problem after my comment about filling the conduit. Having read around it seems some sparks do use 2x2.5T&E in...

    T&E in conduit, grouping, derating questions

    I just meant that if you are going to fill in your conduit it is easier to clip directly to the wall :-). It seems easier to use capping, 21.6A after derating! saying that, as the conduit is not circular, and not part of a full conduit system, diagrammatically one might try and argue that...

    T&E in conduit, grouping, derating questions

    I am pretty sure that this is the 17ed, but not necessarily the most recent amendment. I think the number refers not to a reg number, but to a para in appendix 4 (from memory), see p. 306. I follow your logic. Does diversity have anything to say on the matter, because both legs won't...

    T&E in conduit, grouping, derating questions

    Hello again, I take the point that with a ring final you have two cables, but one circuit. Does 2.3.1 of 17ed clarify matters at all? Does the note to 2.3.1 help? Does this help http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Book/4.3.5.htm (referring specifically to circuits and not cables in their example)...

    T&E in conduit, grouping, derating questions

    Dear John, Thanks for the figures and explanations, very helpful. I will have a look at the regs and tables you mention. Dear ban-all-sheds I appreciate the concern and the issues raised. The history of the job is that a spark with trade association membership (by which I mean membership of...

    T&E in conduit, grouping, derating questions

    Thanks John. Yes, it is one thing to pull T&E through loose conduit, but quite another to pull it through fixed and buried conduit. It is now too late for me to go for singles though ... Can anybody help with the derating/grouping question?

    T&E in conduit, grouping, derating questions

    Yes, plastic conduit. I know what you are saying, but already existing conduit has saved several chasings when extending circuits and replacing. I don't inderstand the wishful thinking bit because I would think by looking that I could possibly get 4x2.5mm T&E in a 25mm oval conduit, but again...

    T&E in conduit, grouping, derating questions

    Hi, I didn't mean 4 or 5 cables within the one conduit, more likely two, but that is a physical constraint that I can see myself whether they will fit or not - my question relates to the grouping / derating / heat considerations and the wiring regs. As the chases are not filled I can still do...

    T&E in conduit, grouping, derating questions

    I have read on some earlier posts that when enclosing cables in conduit grouping and derating need to be considered so I wanted to check the following:  Is it ok to enclose 2 x 2.5mm T&E (Ring circuit) in 20 or 25mm oval conduit?  The conduit is buried in the wall, is approx 83" long and only...
