Thanks juys was concidering the file and checking flatness with a vernier but would like to do it properly, might just get flexes with an olive on an use a short piece of copper tube but was hoping there are diferent valves to use Thanks

Hi juys just to check if its ok to fit this service valve to this pipe fitting, all semms to seal but just wondered if its the right way? It seems like the flexi pipe needs a flat surface and not the taper for the olive. Thanks

That looks ideal I'm off to the wholesalers with that pic now. Cheers

Thanks, that hook came in handy for that. Yes the jb will be covered and pushed in the hole. Thanks

This is what i ended up doing after making hole in plaster board bigger. any comments appreciated Thanks

the cables are only just long enough to make it through the plaster board so the only thing i can think of is fitting a standard rose and runing it to the transformer instead of a pendant. does this sound like bad practice though? other than that its flooring off upstairs which seems lot...

Thanks very much for your help. The transformers do have the double insulation symbol on them. I will run earth into the transformers to carry it as far as i can as they have an earth continuity connector. Should this be done with 1mm flex so that i can clamp the outer casing in the...

I have replaced blown transformers in my lights and noticed that there is no earth terminal in the fittings. would i be right in saying i don't need one if the connections and transformer are placed in the ceiling void? as the transformers were simply placed in the head of the fitting i...

Good morning/evening Hope someone can help, i have raked all the moss off my lawn but there are patches of deep rooted weeds (photo) which i would like to remove before seeding. Can anyone name them and if some roots are left will they just come up again? Thanks for reading and any help...

Thanks That explains it. Hope picture works as it shows the CU and RCD switch Thanks again (Image fixed - Mod9)

hello and thanks for your previous help last night i had switched off the power to the socket in the loft to remove some redundant wiring which had been left live and taped up when the main breaker on CU tripped. the wire came from a fused switch box which is also connected to an aerial...

my hall and bathroom have had spotlights installed. the old ceilling rose in the hall has been placed in the loft with the feed to lights running from it. and the bathroom uses chocolate blocks. I would like to replace these with covered boxes but junction boxes don't seem to replicate the...

if the alloys are not the original then they may have centre bore adaptors, check they have not fallen out, they should be a good fit on the hub. also check the mating surfaces are clean and tighten the nuts a little at a time moving across not around the wheel to help centre the wheel a...

Thanks SeanT If i ever get those problems i will know why Thanks
