Replacing a Honeywell ST9400C timer with a nest gen 3 for a friend and just wanted a second opinion I've got this correct. He's got a y layout system with this loverly nest of wires in wiring centre Honeywell ST9400 wiring - only has N L 1 3 4 connected So it follows Y plan wiring...

When googling I did come across a few posts stating that behind a bath panel secured by screws is zone free? If that is really the case then no issue as I have a wooden bath panel which will be secured. Also if I do get one of these units I'd locate it away from the drain/overflow and it'd be...

Hi, space isn't the issue, it's just what isn't and isn't allowed on the electrics side. Just annoying my mrs didn't mention this before all the plumbing was planned and completed (hot and cold water come up under bath) as I'd have simply put the unit in the loft and run the mixed output down...

Just deciding on taps for new bathroom and mrs is keen on a Aqualisa smart bath filler https://www.aqualisa.co.uk/aqualisa-unity-q-smart-shower-concealed-with-bath-fill-hp-combi.html In the instructions it states the smart valve box can go under the bath: "Choose the position for your Aqualisa...

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! So I'm thinking about going with... In my photo it didn't show to the right that there is a boss strap for the bath waste. Seeing as the general consensus is to cut the old ring seal connector off I thought I could do it further to the right to get...

Would a branch with greater angle such as 112.5 for the toilet be better to help with flow direction? The toilet will back onto a wall unit so I can easily hide the angle of the pan waste

I was looking at one of them first, but then thought a solvent weld version would be better? I do like that with that version I'd be able to position the inlet higher though

(y) Thanks for the advice! My only other idea was to still use a branch, but then extend a bit, blank off and use a boss strap (not preferred) or use a boss to enter from the top of the soil pipe, but thought my original idea might be better as it cuts down on the amount of connections.

I'm adding a shower to my bathroom to the left of where the soil pipe bends for the toilet. A toilet will be fitted back in it's original place. I need to keep the 40mm shower waste below floor level so using a branch vertically isn't an option. Would something like the following be ok? Use a...

Would these affect the flow rate much? That it does, but it doesn't stop the route cause. :LOL::LOL::LOL: So my plan is after googling the insides is to take apart the shower, get as much scale out of the heater with descaler or spirits of salts and also fit a polyphosphate filter - would...

Hi, after a bit of advice please. I've got a Triton Amber III that is around 3 years old. Recently the shower head has starter to get clogged with large pieces of lime scale and needs to be cleaned out every week. My first thought was to simply replace the shower as it's only around 50quid but I...

Does it look like I am correct in the post above? Or can someone recommend somewhere else I can ask?

Ok, I've had a proper look at it now and think I've sussed it. Found a diagram of the Honeywell sundial box which makes things much easier to understand: So does this look correct: Live to heatlink L, 2, 5 Neutral to heatlink N Sundial CH On to heatlink 3 Sundial HW...

I haven't 100% decided yet, I was thinking of maybe moving it from the location of the current one. Let's go for power it for now

Hi, just looking at my current setup to see if I'll buy a nest and go ahead with installing it. I have a Potterton profile 60e boiler, Honeywell st7100 control panel and a single thermostat, hotwater tank and a 3 way valve. This is all connected to a Honeywell sundial box which I believe is...
