    Why don't they......

    You’re right of course. And thanks all for the responses. Shouldn’t be surprised that manufacturers specifications which are pretty important aren’t clear

    Why don't they......

    Oven 2 is conventional so no fan, it’ll be a typo. I could pull it apart and find out but my suspicion is it’s got 6x1kW elements for hi/lo grill, top and bottom ovens. Where did I put my screwdrivers…… Actually got 3 according to the spares list. 1800W Fan & 900/1300W conventional. Who knew….

    Why don't they......

    I’ve stuck the power meter on the fridge just out of curiosity more than anything Product fische isn’t the greatest but I’m reading it as a 4kW max load. Top oven seems to be 4Watts…… Thanks for the replies gents. Appreciated.

    Magnaclean or Intatec Trade Tec???

    Hello Everybody. Just wondering if there is much consensus on which of the 2 devices in the title performs better? I've got the Trade Tec fitted at the minute and it seems to be a single magnet construction, from what I've seen of the Magnaclean devices they use multiple magnets. Is it worth...

    Finishing plaster fixings???

    Hi All, So the bathroom I’m remodelling had a plasterboard/skim finish that around the bath was in a sorry state. I’ve chopped out the crumbling boards to find that finishing plaster was used to dot and dab. I want to fix tile board in place of the removed plaster. Can anyone suggest a screw...

    Help please

    Hello All, So I'm doing a bathroom remodel..............slowly. In taking the tiles off (honest that's all I was trying to do) large areas of the plasterboard have come away so I'm now at the point where I need to make a decision. Do I patch it with cement board or tile backer board (what are...

    Adding sockets and lights in my garage - wiring sense check please

    Sorry Mate but your drawing is confusing me with the flow. This is how I would do it but it takes no account of locations of anything which is what I think you're trying to show on your diagram. I've taken the fused connection unit spur off the last socket because trying to get 3 cables in...

    Adding sockets and lights in my garage - wiring sense check please

    I would think that you'll need to reduce your protection current by some to meet regulations. 32Amps is going to be too much for all your cabling in the Radial manner you're wiring it. If you have the option of using the device labelled fused double light switch as switched fuse in-line or...

    wiring 2 loads up in in parallel to drop voltage (ed: he means in series)

    Couple of guys called Kircchoff and Thevenin did some work on this kind of stuff a little while ago now I think. They both confused the hell out of me so I ended up using superposition and then chopping it up to fit the chaps above theories.

    Replacing single socket with double - attaching box to wall.

    Oh another thing On the Wago box there are details/measurement for the length of stripped conductor required for the connector. It ensures you’ve got the insulation inside the body of the wago. That really is it from me now Honest.

    EICR opinion please

    Morning. I’m with you on how much a supply base can screw up a project, sadly it happens all the time. I guess my surprise/disappointment would be in the fact that a quote has been provided. Should the contractor be given the go ahead then I’m generally content to allow a couple of weeks to...

    Replacing single socket with double - attaching box to wall.

    Full isolation is going to be the absolute safest method, although it’s still good practise to confirm dead. Your plan is sound and sorry to harp on but again make sure those screws in the back of the socket are tight. If you’ve got 2 cables then tighten down on them, if you find a single then...
