Hi, what grip adhesive should I use to fix my shower tray that has Aquastrap around its edge to the wall. The Aquastrap is a rubber material that is stuck around the edge of the shower tray that then needs to be gripped to the wall. I have Pink Grip and Pink Grip SF. Would either of these be OK...

Thanks for replying will the primer I used be ok for applying any waterproof tanking over it? Will I be able to tile directly onto the tanking?

Hi, I have installed as shower bath which I have secured and sealed. Before I tile do I need to tank the walls above the bath? The walls are solid brick. The walls were originally tiled and had not been tanked before. I have removed the tiles, filled any areas where the plaster had come off and...

Looks like it is an IDC … Insulation Displacement Connection terminal. http://www.tridonic.com/ae/download/technical/Disconnect_wires_at_different_terminal_types.pdf http://www.tridonic.com/com/en/download/data_sheets/Magnetic_Chokes_2012_EN.pdf

Unfortunately they won't fit. There is two slot connections on the top of the terminal similar to inside a phone extension box. Can I slot them in there or should that method of connecting not be used?

The wire strands are not single solid strand but are multiple strands crimped together. How would I approach wiring up as they wouldn't be able to be inserted as suggested above.?

This is a clearer picture of the connection terminal. I have attached a file and marked where I think I need to insert the wire is this correct? If I need to remove the wire how do I release it from the terminal? If the wire strands are not single solid strand how would I approach wiring up...

Thanks for the reply. I have purchased this choke http://www.bltdirect.com/tridonic-switch-start-choke-ec-32-a502k and was wanting to know how it connects up to the existing wires.

How are the wires connected to this choke? http://www.bltdirect.com/tridonic-switch-start-choke-ec-32-a502k My previous one had a connection block that the wires screwed into. Do the wires push into the connection point of this choke similar to how phone wires are connected within a phone...

Thanks for the reply. I have attached an actual pic of my choke. The connector point where it was wired up has broke. Could you point me in the direction of an alternative to this choke. Most of the chokes I have looked at say they are for t8. Will they also work with t9 tubes as long as they...

Hi I have a kitchen light that needs a replacement ballast. I have attached a picture of a similar one so that you can see the info on the top. Could any show me a similar replacement that can be purchased in the UK? The current ballast is a Mastec L36.800.1 Ref no: 800.600 230V~50hz. The...

In the installation instructions the mirror has a IP44 rating. As it will be used in a bedroom and nowhere near a bathroom there will be no water ingress.

Thank you for your reply. There is connection box within the light for Live, neutral and earth connection from power supply. Short term could it be wired to a plug with 3 amp fuse? Once the wall has been chased out a connection unit with a 3 amp fuse can be installed next to and link up to the...

Would it be possible to wire this mirror using 3 core round flex cable to a standard UK plug to use within a bedroom short term until the wall had been chased out. It will be used in a bedroom and not a bathroom so will be nowhere near water...

Thank you all for your advice.
