    Fitting an L641B Pipe stat to a Honeywell S Plan System

    Around 5 degrees. This is about where the frost stat is set, but this has kicked in too frequently. Two people have advised me that the pipe stat is a viable working solution, even though the two would appear to be equivalent when configured in this way. Are you implying that you know for a fact...

    Fitting an L641B Pipe stat to a Honeywell S Plan System

    James, The boiler is a Potterton Pro Max 30, which is fitted in a garage. There was a frost stat, which was continually deciding that the temperature was too low and hence the boiler was frequently coming on throughout the night, even in some moderate temperature conditions. The idea was...

    Fitting an L641B Pipe stat to a Honeywell S Plan System

    Hi All, I want to fit a Honeywell 641B pipe stat to a Honeywell S plan system, which does not include a frost stat. However, I want to use the pipe stat, so that it switches the system ON when the temp drops. I have been looking at the many Honeywell electrical diagrams, but cannot find...

    Roof rafter insulation

    It wasn't so much that I forgot, more a case of not getting to the bottom of it. My son's father-in-law is a builder and he did not recognise the material under the tiles either. There were no major problems in the loft, other than it generally being a huge mess with live electrical cables...

    A question about undercoats

    Hi, I want to paint a sill which is intended for a small step inside a patio door. Currently the sill is a plain, uncoated hardwood. I already have a primer (light grey) and a gloss (white) and I am wondering if the primer means I can get away without using an undercoat? Do I have to go...

    Laying tongue and groove onto a floating floor

    Hi all, Has anybody got any views to share on this. I asked a question a few days ago about laying 22mm tongue and groove oak floorboards onto joists, but it turns out that I have a high-density foam floating floor. When I got the carpet up I found that the chipboard flooring is not nailed...

    Laying floorboards - basic question

    Not sure what you mean by 'a link to the flooring'? This is for downstairs rooms. At present there is chipboard tongue and groove laying across floor joists. I could lay the new oak floor boards on top of the chipboard, but it then becomes too high. So I am thinking about taking the...

    Laying floorboards - basic question

    Hi, I am contemplating removing the chipboard flooring from our lounge and dining rooms and laying down tongue and groove oak floorboards. Looking at the manufacturers pics I can see no evidence of nailing of their floorboards. I assume that they have to be, though? I spoke to a sales girl...

    Mr Creosote

    Hi, I am trying to discover where I can buy creosote substitute (because I want to colour-match what is already on my fence panels), but none of the big stores (Wickes, B&Q, Gibbs and Dandy) seem to sell it. Can anybody tell me the secret of purchasing this elusive substance, locally? That...

    Ring or Spur?

    Thanks for such a quick reply, it's much appreciated. So, is it the the spare MCB that makes the series-type (non-ring)connection legal?
