Ooopsi :) thanks. Sorry might be a dumb question but just want to be 100%. So if I wanted a 15mm copper pipe to insert directly to this connector itself for soldering on, then I need the 15mm female version? otherwise with the other connector it will be like have two ends of a 15mm pipe which...

Can anyone kindly tell me what the difference between these two connector below are? are the not the same sort of connector with a 1/2" male thread and the other end is solderable to a 15mm copper pipe? https://www.bes.co.uk/end-feed-male-adaptor-15mm-f-x-1-2-m-6775/...

Anyone know if the HMGL Brand TMV sold by BES is any good? I am trying to decide between either one of the following: HMGL 4 in 1 Thermostatic Mixing Valve TMV 2/3 - 15mm https://www.bes.co.uk/hmgl-4-in-1-thermostatic-mixing-valve-tmv-2-3-15mm-27599/ Inta Intamix Thermostatic Mixing Valve -...

To mount my wall outlet I i need to use the 1/2" ear elbow which from what I can see is what most of the 1/2" fixings seem to thread into. I've come across the following at ToolStation. Is this fitting a solder connection on the 15mm inlet...

I will try and draw something up and post later on. The original wall that it is attaching to is in this order Dot & Dab > Block > Gap > Bricks

I think maybe there’s been some confusion and maybe I have explained properly apologies for that. I am not having the toilet to the stud wall. I have a gerberit sigma steel metal frame as pictured. I’ve had these style system in my office for nearly 10 years and seems very robust. The...

I’m installing a wall-hung toilet frame and need to build a boxed-out stud wall for it. The toilet will sit under a bathroom window, so the new stud wall will only be about 125 cm high and will stick out from the existing wall around 20–25 cm. Because of the window, the studs can’t run all the...

Might sound like a silly question, but does anyone know of a tool that can potentially send some sort of wave and measure that on the other side to accurately determine where a drilled hole will come out of? I know measuring works but in some cases measuring is very awkward so a tool that does...

Very unhelpful thanks. Got it done

If terminals 1-8 neutrals are going to the rcd and a new circuit neutral is on that same block then isn’t it protected by the existing rcd? Yes the cable is T+E but it’s going through proper conduit and the run is about 5meters. Cable is sealed both ends of the conduit

Nevermind. I figured it out myself. It’s a 2pole isolator.

I need to connect a 2.5mm2 cable to a new MK mcb on my consumer unit. I’ve attached a picture. From what I can see, the mcb type looks like the following type: https://www.screwfix.com/p/mk-sentry-20a-sp-type-b-mcb/358kp Can anyone confirm? Also, there is a RCD that seems to do the rcd job...

Sorry 1 and 2 for live and 5 and 6 for neutral! And earth is on the left. But where is the terminal numbers? In the pic on top of the black centre block, there is L1 and L3 and the middle L2 is empty with no screw. And in the right of the housing there is N and on the left there is earth. So...

I have the following pictured external rotary isolator that I need to wire to be able to cut the power to outside aircon unit. I have a 2.5mm2 twin and earth supply cable. Can anyone tell me where I connect the mains supply wires and where I connect the wires going to the aircon unit? Thanks

Not sure if I am on the correct thread as I couldn't find anything specific to A/C systems. I have a Blaupunkt Split DC Inverter Type Air Conditioner. It has the outdoor unit and indoor unit. It was installed about 8 years ago and has been running good since. Recently, i keep getting error E1...
