Do you know what they screw into behind the boards? I would expect timber battens, but we can’t be sure. Could also be metal studs of some sort. There don’t really seem to be a lot of screws… what do others think?

What exactly do you mean by “isolate” there? What shape / style of radiators are they?

You probably have a “mixed pressure system” at your kitchen tap, i.e. hot is low pressure, cold is direct from the mains. (Right?) Taps do exist for that and do work. I think there are two channels all the way to the spout, so there is no mixing in the body of the tap.

I’ve tried to do this in my flat and found it essentially impossible. The boards were fixed with large ring-shank nails that need a lot of force to extract. They were driven in through the grooves, nearer to horizontal than vertical - so prizing up the edge of the board does not pull the nail in...

So you’re proposing only 4mm of insulation between the pipes and the cold ground?

Any insulation under the concrete?

Not very easy. How much depth is there below the floor? Enough for a small child to crawl around in?

Maybe they imagine that the plastic is supporting the pipe, which will be vulnerable to being yanked if unrestrained.

What was the test result?

They are allegedly problematic, i.e. difficult to get the right humidity threshold.

It’s not an isolator if it doesn’t also disconnect the switched live (so is dangerous?). Perhaps not, though it would probably work. Post some photos.

I have the Evolution one that is currently £60 at Screfix. It’s fine. Very sturdy (heavy); quick to put up (I mainly use it in the garden). The support arms are a bit… imprecise?

No-one knows until you’ve identified what the smell actually is.

Please let us know what you end up using. There seem to be a range of products out there. 100 Mbit ethernet over *two* coax cables, without power, should be very easy for a modest range.
