Try it Paul, not a test just a quick check before you connect. I bet if you use it once you will do it again. 9083 is the correct tool for the job

Problem is that is not a NTE5 connection just a junction box, also the none conforming coloured cable may not be good for an IDC connector. But I would agree with you start again with the correct cable and boxes, you can be sure then it will work properly.

Sorry to confuse you I was talking about individual pairs to check if you have a working line. If you have a six pair cable and one line you know is working (or may be working) in amongst them but don’t know the colour then this is easier than getting your meter out. I use to do this all the...

Strip the wires, twist them together and then use a block type connector and screw them down. With two different type of cables this is your best option. Not to the book but OK. If you still have problems looking at the state of the wiring there may be poor connections elsewhere

To find you line amongst many wire I lick my finger and put each pair in turn on it, when you get a fizz from the short across the liquid you know you have a working pair.

Don’t worry about it there is no line protection in the box, the capacitor is for the bell and the little resistor is for testing from a remote location and there is a lightning surge protector. As long as you keep the same colours on two three and five connectors you will be OK. No one at BT...

Below your bath and sink taps you may have some tails with valves in them. If so you can reduce you flow by turning these slightly with a screwdriver.

You need to know your Pressure as above do it yourself.

Tony, You are quite right an Accumulator as anything has pros and cons. Another problem with them is the space they take up. It is a solution and if it’s just a shower in the morning he wants it may do the job. If his incoming mains is to small it may be less costly than replacing it. I have a...

Search accumulator on this forum. I have one on a mains cylinder and find it works for me. Sorry I never read your post properly, You need to know your pressure first, an accumulator will give you plenty of flow but if the pressure is to low it won’t help.
