Thanks Kevin I'm looking for a high pressure one. Just so many to choose from and no idea where to start. Asked at a local plumbers merchants a few weeks back and can't say I got fair and impartial advice. The guys just wanted to plug the ones they had on display, which looked a bit like...

I have a new Vokera Unica 36HE combi with the following DHW stats: 36kw heat input, 14.7 ipm flow rate at 35*C, 6.0 max bar pressure, 0.15 min bar pressure, 2.0 (l/min) min flow rate. I need a shower, which will be fitted some 38 feet away on the same floor level as the combi. We...

Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks Gary Yes there's one bathroom (compliant) flush light on the 9 feet high ceiling, just on the edge of the shower zone, so I guess that makes it zone 3. Should add that this is a groundfloor wetroom (with a wc and basin) and not a bathroom as such. Thanks.

Just started the bathroom plumbing and will then be tiling over it, but have questions regarding bonding work. Whats the best/discreet way to bond pipework that will be very visable to all? Do the pipes for mixer (non-electrical) showers need bonding too? What size earth should be use...

When earthing a steel knockout box, should you: earth the box from the FCU supply (mains) earth terminal or from both the supply and load earth terminals? The FCU 2 earthing terminals themselves aren't marked for supply or load, so I picked the top one for supply earth ! Many thanks

Thanks securespark & empip. securespark, would the following arrangement also work? Take T&E from JB to FCU (fused to 3A). Take T&E from FCU to pull switch. Take 3C&E from FCU to timer fan. At the FCU: 1= Connect L (permanent) from 3C&E to the output L terminal. 2= Connect N...

Thank you so much securespark :D There's not much space inside a pull switch fitting, so was thinking instead of connecting the N and sleeving them together inside the fitting, that instead house them in a chockbox...

Thanks securespark. Connecting at the pull switch, lets see: 1=Join the 2 N outside of the switch, in say a Chocbox. 2=Connect the L from the T&E to the L (permanent) of the 3C&E. 3=Connect the L (switched) from the 3C&E to the other terminal. Which part did I get right (if any...

BigJon no want the fan to operate independant of the lights (long story mate). The instructions do mention that you can do this, but the wiring diagram leaves much to be desired. Running it of the lights via a 3P isolator is a doddle, but have never wired one via a seperate switch and...

I'm putting a timer fan in the bathroom and it needs a FCU (3amp fuse). The fan will operate on its own seperate pull switch, independant of the light. Can you please help me understand how to wire it. I'll be connecting from the lighting junction box, but: Do I take the 2c & e cable...

Thankyou RF Lighting & deko for your help. Have just got this bathroom timer fan, (its a 220-240V, 50Hz, 13W): http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=100593&ts=63195&id=92561 But the fitting instructions read: "Wiring should be via a double pole isolating switch with a contact...

Need to wire a bathroom timer fan that will operate via a seperate pull switch (independant of the bathroom light) and need some help understanding the layout. There will be a 3 pole switch outside the bathroom. Do i: A = take a 2 core & earth from the lighting circuit (junction box) to...
