As above not in a bathroom and potentially used for euro socket hair straighteners which would overload an isolating transformer.

Hi any idea where to get a very small euro/shaver socket as per the attached picture? No isolating transformer needed, it's in a WC so outside the zones. The smallest I can think is a single euro module from MK or similar but I can't find a small architrave box or similar to put it in, only a...

Hi, there is a drip from the multi block whenever the hot water is heating. Recharging the air gap helps a bit, but I want a proper solution. As you can see there is bugger all space. Is this a normal compression joint? As you can see it is not the normal style nut. I've tried nipping it up a...

Not an option. The drop comes from 1st floor void down to a ground floor rad so it's at least a 2m drop.

That's an idea actually. I haven't got one though. Will have a look on FB marketplace.

Yeah sounds like the only realistic option. Trying to avoid compression though.

Too much water for bread unfortunately. Its the end of a long drop on a central heating system.

Does anyone know of a internal pipe bung or similar suitable for 8mm copper? I need to solder a fitting onto the end of a piece that won't drain down properly. It doesn't need to hold pressure. I need to get it far enough along the pipe that I can solder the end. I've seen a little rubber thing...

Thanks all. If the router is powerful enough to do it in one pass then I will.

Hi, I have a cutter like this in a 1000w 1/4 inch router. Should I round over 18mm MDF in one pass or several? https://www.trend-uk.com/c078x1-4tc-rounding-over-9-5mm-radius-x-15-9mm-cut Thanks.

Thanks Muggles. It's a 150m2 detached four bed, with a poorly insulated flat roof extension, and currently has a 30kw installed. The calculators are generally recommending 24 or 30. Was thinking Worcester as I can use Boxt who are generally 1k cheaper than local installers and offer a year...

Hi, any idea on the differences between the 30i and 8000 system boilers? Both at 30kw. From the specs the 30i is smaller and has the traditional Worcester rotary knobs, the 8000 is bigger and has a fancy display... Anything else? I prefer the LCD display but not for £400! Am I right in thinking...

Unfortunately not. You don't think it would bounce?

I need to move the washing machine outside for a while. Electrics, water, drainage all ok. Will be covered with a frame and roof made from left over closeboard fencing. It needs to go in a place currently gravelled. For a base I was thinking of a paving slab set on 25mm sharp sand, on some DPC...

Cheers, is it as strong as the steel beads? Would you feather it in?
