Ta. Bit hard to explain why from the picture but there's a diagonal wall eventually going in from tapering from the front right position to almost the back left. The pump is the deepest part of the installation so to me it made sense to keep it to the RHU. I'd shuffle the manifold unit right...

thanks for that Dan As I said logically I couldn't see any reason to panic but when the people selling the kit told me about voiding warranties and upside down pumps I began to wonder if I was missing something Ta again Iain

hi this is probably a silly question but its my own house installation and I'm just double checking everything. On all the literature I have from the underfloor heating store the pump and mixing valve is mounted on the left side of the manifold I want to mount the pump and mixing valve on...

Underfloor heating being fitted so didn't want thermal transfer to the cold water supply. . will be fitting pipe in pipe from speedfit. Insulation round this because under kingspan. R inch slab on top so I guess it was never going to be that accessible. Was alsothinking of 222nd pipeIin...

Hi folks. Hot and cold water supply in extension kitchen. Feed for a sink Thinking run insulated 1mm poly across the subfloor below the kings pan. Recessed into the bottom of the King span. Anything wrong with this? ???

yep got it. I'll loop cable runs back in the chases instead. Wago stuff interesting though ! thanks for that Iain

I have wall lights to put in block walls wired in pairs so 6 can be switched in 2s. vaulted ceilings with not much room but my question is:- is it permitted to have JBs behind the kingspan between the joists or should I use ceiling roses hidden in the small void and 1mm T+E or flex looped to...

To John W2 yeah All the sockets will be at the same heights and observing the safe zone regs. the only exception will be the kitchen where 2 sockets will be at 1000 high to clear the worktops obviously. these will likely be spurs from the adjacent oven circuit in vertica all will be...

thanks John I was thinking that it would be best. Safe zones no probs either as its 3 outside walls. From the consumer unit its about 6 metres of a run from the first "new socket" so I was going to run in the tails in 4 mm at both ends of the ring. its through into the floor void in the...

hi I have a 10m x 5 m extension to wire out. there is a vaulted ceiling almost right to the peak and concrete floors throughout. Walls are standard 300 mm block insulation sandwich construction for the lighting cables I have no issues the cabled will all go vertical chase to the wallplate...

hi folks I have to run in a hot and cold feed to the island in my new extension before the concrete floor gets poured. I was going to use speedfit pipe run inside a plastic duct. my question is should it be 22mm because its about 7 metres of run or is 15 mm fine for that., also any...

Great. :) more ammo for the missus who wanted them. I hate them :-)

Thanks for the replies folks much appreciated. I have no void as the ceiling is vaulted so I will start the ring with a chase and drop from the original bungalow which has a roof space then go horizontally round the room terminating back at the chase. I have a 100 mm block wall and can go...
