Can you post any photos?

You would be very unlucky to hit rebar, but if you did it is only thin so an angle grinder will still cut straight through it. Don't forget to leave the door open..... dusty work!! All other PPE to be worn of course :roll:

How thick is the steel you are drilling into? I would recommend screwing rather than shot firing or welding as.... you could split the jiffy hanger (speedy hanger) and render it useless and as r896neo says welding galv to mild steel is a tricky business and a very specialist one at that. I...

Yes I have two motorised valves. The smaller of the two has a loose lever. I took the head of it off and the valve is free (not stuck). The other is tricky to get to, I might have to remove the cylinder if you think that's causing the issue. When the heating is 'on' on the programmer and I...

I have a potterton flamingo boiler with a honeywell st6300a programmer. The heating works fine (apart from the boiler overheating sometimes and and I have to reset it... a different problem though) and is left in the 'on' position on the programmer. The hot water used to work most of the time...

Hey that's what it said. I presume single phase would have been better!?!?

Hmm Right you are.... I'll have to leave it to the New year when they return and I can speak to them. Many thanks

I'll take a plug off something I knnow works (like the kettle) and give it a go. The cable looks fine and I checked inside for loose connections... I can turn the impellas with the pump switched off yes.

Should have stated - It's a pump that is to serve the whole house for domestic water. Old one packed up that was just serving the shower. power supply = 230v (phase frequency 150v) single phase max consumption = 435Watts full load current = 1.9Amps Rating = continuous S1 Fuse Rating =...

Hello, I have installed a Stuart Turner Pump. It stated on there to 'hard wire' it to the mains. I presume it means fixed outlet or spur depending on circumstances.... however I have simply fitted a plug on the end with a five amp fuse (as stated in install book) and plugged it in thinking...

Done that.... Motor does not turn. I doubt it's the wiring. I had the same problem before and I have just renewed the wires due to the new valve. The thermostat on the cylinder is new (new cylinder also as old one corroded but even with the old cylinder I still had the same problem). The...

Without the sarcasim this is my phone a friend so......
