Sparky it is then!

Many thanks for that, In essence although I can see that would work, surely it would be easier (considering my sparky wired it all up in the first place) to simply put a FCU on the switched live between the fan transformer and the DPpull switch? That way the live is protected by a seperate...

All very well but that does'nt help me in the slightest!

Tried fitting an energy saving lamp to the bathroom (with 12v manrose fan) the bulb glowed the fan came on without the switch being on, and then the fan transformer blew! (Manrose know of this problem with energy saving lamps) Manrose sent me a new transformer circuit board which I fitted but...

Hi, I would imagine that the temperature exceeds 250 degrees - it certainly gets very hot indeed, but I can't find any references to temperatures anywhere in the fitting instructions.

Hi, I have just had a new wood burning stove installed with a stainless steel liner. The chimney runs through the centre of the house. One fitter has said it needs insulation around the liner, another (the one who did the work) says it does not because it is in the centre of the house and...

Just about to call Glow Worm service again - on our third 30CXi Combi boiler in one year and this one has just begun to pop bang and make weird whirry noises on ignition. I know the first batch had a problem in the drilling of the ignitor hole which was not deep enough (if it keeps on making...

I have just fitted a whirlpool bath and pump - the instructions say that the pump must not be fixed to its support stand in any way, can anyone tell me why this is - I have bolted it to the stand which is esentially a raised platform I have constructed with a sandwiched layer of dampproof...

Many thanks for that - so just out of interest would I still need the 3A fused spur anywhere or does that become redundant just relying on the house circuit breaker?

How would I go about protecting the switched supply? The fused spur only had a total of four connections so I used these for the positive and negative constant supplies. The house wiring is also on a circuit breaker - it was rewired just a few months back.

Hi, Yesterday I fitted a 12V Manrose bathroom fan with the transformer in the loft. (Including a switched 3A fuse) It is a simple affair - two wires to the fan from the transformer. Positive and neutral from the light fitting, with a switched positive supply also from the light fitting. I...

Thanks for your help - I will order a new thermostatic with diverter then and hope my woes are solved! Andrew

Please please help... Q1. I have a bath waste/filler/overflow trio (made by Viega) it has only one 22mm water input to it, has no specification for flow rate or minimum pressure, no on/off etc. it is basically a spout. I am running a flexicom 30cx combination boiler. I currently have, but...

Great, that does help a lot. Thank you. It is all very confusing this lot - minimum working pressures, etc! The bath is actually quite large and one of my concerns was that the flow rate would be reduced so much by installing this trio filler that it may just not be worth it after all the...

Hi, I have a Viega Multiplex Trio bath filler/overflow/waste that I am trying to fit but it only has one water inlet. I therefore need to somehow take the water from my bath side valves (not yet fitted) and mix it before it enters the trio unit. If I do this though will the back pressure of...

Yup, you're correct - there is of course some resistance can't remember exactly what it was but it was nothing great. Interestingly, I played with setting and unsetting the system a few times. At first it was fine then later when I set the system and unset it again the tamper circuit went...

So, I have tested the whole system and found no faults - all tamper circuits appear to be good and clean with no resistance and all have passed the 'shake' test without the alarm sounding. The bell box is working fine outside and is not rusty or damp at all. The panic button seems okay as do...

Hi, Thanks for the replies, I will give the circuit a test. As I say the whole system is very new and although not soldered, I made sure the contacts were all good and tight. There is one join in the system (doh - now hidden behind boxing) made by a choc bloc. I can't imagine it is the bell...

My Optima G3 alarm panel - about 6 years old or so has begun to randomly go off showing tamper. Less than a year ago I replaced all the wiring, bell box and PIR's etc, so it is only the panel that is old. Is this normally a problem with the control panel - ie is it likely to have reached its...

I have just purchased a Zodion Photocell for switching a simple wall lantern. Problem is the wiring instructions are a bit odd. Connections are Neutral, Line (established as Live in) and Load circuit (established as Live out), however, the wiring diagram shows a PFC connected between the Live...
