Ok, fair enough. I'll make sure i'm clued up of the rules from now on :oops:

Any ideas how much it would cost to supply and install a 160x60cm double glazed unit into an existing metal frame? Its for a university assignment so rough figures would be great.

It's all ok now. :D I have spoken to a technical guy at Ferroli who said we are able to use a vertical flue with an elbow. This means we can move the outlet to 300mm away from the corner and 300mm higher than our neighbours roof. The extra flue bits cost about £100+VAT which is cheaper than...

What about 22mm pipe, not sure if my knee can take much more of it :cry:

I recently bought a Silverline bender from Toolstation for £27. It is crap. It takes a stupid amount of effort bend 22mm copper which gets squashed. The 15mm is a bit better but you get quite bad throating. What is the most common method for bending pipe? Also if a spring is used...

So it's ok if you can reach the cord from within the bath?

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

The installer phoned after speaking to CORGI and said it's a definite no no. Thanks for the help guys, looks like that plan is out the window. :cry: I thought maybe of extending the flue upwards inside the cupboard then coming out higher up the wall so it would be above the neighbours roof...

I agree, but if no one here says the position of the flue is safe, I can save time by not getting loads of CORGI installer to come out and tell me the same thing.

CORGIS please help I have moved a Ferroli Optima 701 combi boiler to a cupboard under the stairs in my house. I now require the gas supply and flue to be connected and the system to be commissioned. However I had a visit from a CORGI installer who didn't believe the flue terminated in a...

I just did, and this is the great reply I got! "Dear Mr Griggs, In response to your email: It would not be possible to adequately inform every user as to the current legislation for every product, therefore we ensure that all instructions carry common sense information regarding...

Cheers, so a shower switch in Zone 3, can have its pullcord within reach of someone using the shower as long as the actual case of the switch can't be reached?

I've just received the IPX4 fan but it says that it "must not be fitted above a bath". I was under the impression it was ok to fit IPx4 items in zone 2, any thoughts? The instructions also say that "IEE Wiring regulations require that main voltage fans, wiring or their approved controls are...

Is it common practice to use ring lugs to attach earth cable to the earth clamps?

Cheers guys, does anyone know how far from a tap or shower a bonding clamp can be placed? And is it ok to have clamps underneath floorboards and under a bath or must they be visible? Also if the toilet, bath, sink and shower are all fed by a few metres of copper pipe with soldered joints...
