Hi all, I am having trouble removing the ceramic cartridge valve from my mixer tap. I have managed to open the tap after some struggle, and once opened found the cartridge broken in pieces. I attempted to remove whole but the pieces just chipped away. I am now at a point where I have remove all...

Hi, I was hoping someone can help me to locate where I can find the attached glass panel, with the same embossed effect. I've have been to quite a few local glass diy stores but they don't seem to have seen this one before. It's quite an old door about 25 years old.. it's still strong, solid...

no measuring... just read it off the cable roll holder. :)

You all got me worried!!:shock: I have had a proper look and it turns out that its a 6mm afterall. :D So how about the ring main? Is it safe?

The oven is this one http://www.trade-point.co.uk/kitchens/appliances/cooke-lewis-single-fan-oven/152732_TP.prd I'm not sure what the load is, but its says 13amp.

Hi, I have just had a new 10 way consumer unit with 2RCD's installed. The supply to the Kitchen uses 2 MCB's. The 40amp MCB is directly connected to the built in single oven using 4mm T&E, and a 32amp MCB supplies the kitchen ring main for the following appliances: Kettle, Toaster...

okay thanks, Getting an electrician in tomorrow to have a look at the setup and change the consumer unit. Ill be getting the MK Sentry 10 Way Dual RCD Board with 2 RCDs & 10 MCBs http://www.screwfix.com/p/mk-sentry-10-way-dual-rcd-board-with-2-rcds-10-mcbs/92791#

Okay, and a 2.5mm cable is okay for this? My single oven is 13amps.

Thanks Andy, Would the 30amp fuse be okay to supply the cooker, microwave and fridge on a radial circuit?

I just swiched off the 30amp fuse and went around the whole house to check the sockets and lights, but all of them were on. Went back in the the basement and found out that it it currently feeding our large chest freezer. Does this need to be on a 30Amp fuse??

So this is the current setup of my MK consumer unit (i took the cover off). I currently have one more sapce available for an additional MCB, which is why i ask if it will be okay if i put the oven, microwave and fridge on one MCB. Also i noticed that the main switch fuse is 60Amp!! and all the...

Thanks guys, appreciate all your help. Can i have some advice regrading the below please? thanks, The current 20amp radial circuit (2.5 T&E cable )currently feeds the combi boiler, washing machine and the worktop sockets. Is this okay or does it need upgrading to a ring circuit with a...

I currently have the follwing MCBs 2 * 20 Amp 1 * 30 Amp 2 * 15 Amp 1 * 5 Amp 1 * 3 Amp Total 108 Amp; its quite an old box with no RCD fuse.

Thanks for the clarification winston1. I wasnt sure what the wattage capacity was so I just guessed at the maximum. Would it be okay if I had the oven, microwave and fridge on its own ring circuit?

Thanks for the replies. The current 20amp radial circuit (2.5 T&E cable )currently feeds the combi boiler, washing machine and the worktop sockets. Is this okay or does it need upgrading to a ring circuit with a 32amp mcb? The new Built in Oven, Microwave and Fridge would be located away...
