Hi,
I am doing up an old flat and refurbished the doors before realising the latches had a backset of 95mm (the doors have massive holes - 60mm cut into them) so I am stuck with these measurements, does anyone know where I can get some replacements with modern 8mm spindle aperture?
I have...
Hi Motman, For what purpose? The pipe has an isolation valve half way that you can see in the pic, this seems to be open as it gets hot on the right hand side straight away.
Should this be like this? Is it going to be causing anything like the system being inefficient, or 'thinking' the rads...
Hi,
I am trying to understand my pipework coming from my boiler and it seems pretty straight forward, mains water in, hot water out to the taps etc, and a single flow and return to the radiators, the return has the word return written on it in pen.
My question is why are they connected? I...
But aren't 90% of the kitchens out there like that?
I get the theory its obviously a good idea to be able to isolate the appliance its the "readily available" bit which causes the problem!

Having a good scout around this site and finding loads of information i can see that the regs state that if i rewire it i will need loads of DP swithes / FCUs all along my work top for every appliance, this, in our rather small kitchen will make it look clutered and ruin the look of the tiling...
I'm not doing the work but like to understand as much as possible so I know what i am being told / understand it.
My question is do i have to have DP switches visable above my work top, asthetically i'd prefer not to, as its only 3 sockets can i not just switch off the breaker when i need to...
Is Ring the right word?
Its a new feed with its own RCB from the Consumer unit.
You are saying each device needs to be able to be isolated?
thanks for the reply
Dave
Good morning,
I would like to add a new ring to run most of my kitchen appliances on one wall of the kitchen, this is straight forward enough (its a fridge, dishwasher and washing machine) but do I have to have isolation switches above the worktop for each appliance?
kind regards
Dave
Didn't realise i selected 2 core, i see the 3 core now, and these glands:

do they allow the SWA cable to be connected to ordinary 6mm cable?
Cheers

great thanks for the info, i think the easiest run will be across the concrete floor, (its a right pain having concrete floors).
Where can i get some earthed conduit?
cheers again for the info.
cheers

Ok thats good news then as it currently has a 32amp circuit in place, I thought i would have to up it to 40 when working it out for the new oven!
So I can use one of these DP switches above the work top:
