Ok. Is there going to be an issue connecting copper to the existing 22mm truewell gas pipe? Ps what is truewell?

Hi there I've got a 22mm pipe that runs from the airing cupboard to a drain off outside for the hot water cylinder. Soon I want to get a combi fitted in this cupboard and for the gas supply to this cupboard I was wondering if this pipe could be used instead of running a new pipe. This pipe...

Would be nice for an update once resolved. Too many threads just seem to stop with no resolution.

I bought a bunch of rads from these guys in Glasgow. When screwing in the valves no two matched. By that I mean some still had say 2 threads showing on the valve when tight and others the valve nearly disappeared inside the rad. One was so bad I had to flip the rad upside down and swap side...

Boiler is on ground floor. Just a normal up stairs down stairs arrangement. Fernox added at time of filling up. The pipe is double walled Hep2o. Tried to light the "gas" with a lighter when bleeding and also collecting in an upside down cup and no flame or pop. How can air enter system with no...

Cheers thanks for that

Parents got a sparky in to add additional circuits and replace old wylex fuse box with modern metal CU. No certificate of any kind issued. This is in Scotland, is this correct?

Is it this stuff perhaps? http://itshosting.me/aaes/lead-sheathed

Obviously your own kitchen doesn't measure up lol

Is the garage insulated? The fridge freezer may defrost in the winter if its too cold. Check the climate class of the appliance. Better luck with a single freezer and single fridge rather than a fridge freezer

Also that consumer unit looks a mess. Not surprisingly going by how tiny the thing is!

Are the earth wires perhaps wired to the neutral bar perhaps? It's difficult to see 8n that picture. I'm not an electrician so can't give expert advice. I'm sure I don't have to tell you not to touch anything metal when the power is on. How are you testing for the earth being live? Is it with...
