Not going to be particularly helpful, but I have experience of replacing the oil tank a few years ago now. They said we couldn't replace like for like because the neighbour had just built an extension (with planning permission) 1 metre from our tank, so we were not allowed to replace our tank as...

Seriously, I believe you are over-thinking it. My guess is that you did the cable change and then mentioned it to somebody who scared you into thinking you were going to jail for doing it. Assuming you did nothing stupid in routing the cable, it is probably something any of the non-electricians...

You have that back to front! In Star Trek: The Next Generation, the character Mr. Data's name is pronounced "Day-ta" (with a long "a" sound), and he corrects others who use a different pronunciation. A well-known scene from the show addresses this directly: Dr. Katherine Pulaski: "Dah-ta...

If it were me I'd cut the ferrules off.

BT phone only (no internet) using VOIP is £30.20 a month plus pretty expensive calls, or £48.20 including calls. If you are in certain categories there may be a discount on that.

It's like arguing with Karoline Leavitt. You use lots of convincing words but they're all slightly off-topic. I'm done.

This is the only place in your complete word salad that you even attempt to respond logically. Once again you are saying that overloading the cable is acceptable, but not overloading the connector. How can you justify this? A corollary of your position is that, if you had to replace a section...

What nonsense! I didn't say that at all. I was talking about a very specific case of the cable in a ring final. This is the only situation where the cable rating and the over-current protection rating are different. A totally specious argument, with no relation to my suggestion, particularly...

Given that the cable in a ring final is only required to carry 20A, it is not clear why a connection in that cable should be required to carry more than that.

The only mention of flow rate I can see is "≥ 9 L/min". If it were me (and I know nothing about such filters), I would at least measure the current flow rate (measuring jug vs timer on your phone). Then you could justifiably turn it up to at least the number in the spec.

gasbanni's advice is the only good one here. A traceable certificate is going to cost you £100 or more. Physical phenomena are free and guaranteed correct.

Mmm... My son recently acquired one of those radios. The grub screws on the control knobs were easily accessible and connected directly to the chassis.

Both can be true. It will work fine outdoors, protected from the weather. And they would void your warranty if they knew it was used in those conditions and it broke. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow.

I would be wary of using a nitrile o-ring in the long term, because of the change to bio-fuels. As a short term experiment it could be a valid thing to try.

Probably this then? https://heatingpartswarehouse.co.uk/product/riello-pump-o-ring-bio-stem-seal-10-pack/
