Before starting this thread, I did what I thought was the right research. Now, I think the whole "FCU" was just a distraction, and a better approach would have been to focus the search on "16A oven". That returned a heap of results referencing these '16A european ovens'. Some people are still...

I'm ok with the isolator, it's the bit about the fcu that I was drawing attention to. Sorry, should have deleted that bit from the quotes. The flex attached to the oven looks to be 1.5mm, forgot to mention that originally, just edited original post. Is there not a danger of this flex overheating...

Hello, The age old question of how to connect an electric oven arises again. So let me first begin with a picture, my current cooker circuit setup... (Sorry about orientation, I took the picture the right way up?) Starting at the consumer unit, I have a 32A breaker protecting a radial...

I bought it online from AO, instructions were predominantly German, but had English translations for the bulk of it. Put a plug on and all is well, but had to trim the cable ends down a bit.

Neff, so I'm guessing German. Thank you both!! I can sleep well tonight and eat well tomorrow :)

I know this has been covered many times, and I have had a read through the forums, but I'm just looking for confirmation that I have everything ready. Short story is, kitchen been wired by Part P electrician (a while ago), gas hob arrived yesterday, gas safe plumber arriving tomorrow. I need to...

Yes I'd heard that about the copper ones too.

Completely overlooked the risk of turbulence, good point! So it's either the smaller bore push fit flexi hose or bend it like Danny. Thanks both. d.

Anyone care to share their experiences of using flexible stainless steel hoses in pipe work? Better/worse/same as the copper ones? Are they considered full bore? Thanks d.

Resurrecting this post since the content is relevant. My question is, would it be ok to change the order, like this... 1. Fill dips in wall using tile adhesive. 2. Tank the wall. 3. Tile over wall. Or is it better to tank first then fill the dips? Many Thanks d.

Apparently so... http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4146/4846872495_f42caf9e40.jpg That's the worst case scenario and precisely what I'm planning for. River, I think the grease marks on the cables alone prove they don't like soap :)

Lol river! Should've have seen that one coming! :lol:

Starting to wonder if TTC is a mouse whisperer? If I rerouted the cables so that each one passed through it's own, barely big enough, hole in the joist, and then sealed off the older holes do you think they would still try to chew through the new routes? Would this realistically affect the...

In the ideal house that would be my prefered solution. But in this terraced house it's an impossibilty. I would however like to limit their movements around the house. Currently I see the tell-tale grease marks on some of the cables which pass though the joists. If I seal the gaps in these...

Hello all, I'd like to know of practical ways to protect the electric cable runs in a domestic property. So for the sake of this discussion, let's assume: - terraced house - wooden joists for floors - current installation is T+E - experiment confined to 1 room on first floor - resident...

That's what I like to hear :)

A picture is worth a thousand words... This is what the house looks like from the back, whilst at the front it's a normal two story. I've no idea why it's called a saltbox, but whoever thought it was a good idea to put it on my house must have been on some form of white powder at the...

1920's terraced house, council built. Is this what you mean catlad...? (left side) http://www.dspinspections.com/images/AtticVenting3.gif Looks like a good solution, roof can still recieve ventilation but insulation in joists should stop the breeze coming through under the bedroom floor.

oh I agree there'd be no problem floating it, I just hope it holds in place and doesn't slide into the 10mm expansion gaps at one of the ends :)

I'd be interested to hear any comments on this too as I'm in a similar situation. I removed the balusters so I could renovate the staircase more easily but since a good few were in poor condition, I thought I'd replace the lot. However turns out that they upgraded the balusters specs and now...
