I have had a look at the original installation manual for the boiler, it says my boiler (Vaillant ecotec pro 28) doesn’t have a built in siphon hence any outdoor pipe work should be 32mm min and lagged where exposed. Just my luck!!
I’m glad I asked, I’ll see what the service guy says as I dont like the idea of having fumes coming back into the bathroom. It is something I’d like done in the summer as getting up a ladder with a kettle in gale force winds isnt really a good idea. I ended up with a washing up bowl and a...
Hi,
My boiler is in the loft and during the Beast from the East cold spell I had the condensate pipe freeze causing it to backup and drip through the upstairs landing ceiling. The bathroom is not far from the boiler above hence I was wondering if it viable to run a new 22mm plastic condensate...
No, the IDC terminal doesn't require the wire to be stripped. Stranded cable isn't very suitable for IDC terminals though, they are made for solid core telephone cable.
RCDs trip on an imbalance of current in the L and N conductors, usually caused by earth leakage. If there is no fault on the circuit an RCD should not trip.
A MCB can trip or a fuse blow with a large inrush current.
200 ohms is the max for reliability in guidance docs.
The max in the regs 1666 ohms for a 30mA RCD protected socket circuit (50v/0.03A=1666 ohms).
So although the theoretical maximum is above 200 ohms, this should not be exceeded as it is considered unreliable.
