I just checked and the glass fuses are 200mA not 300. They are on the 240v side of the transformer in the wiring centre.

OK thanks, is it easy to test if this is the case? I have 14 stats so I would prefer to test them myself !

I have a Daikin ASHP installed in 2011, it provides heating and hot water. The heating is via a wet underfloor system with 2 separate manifolds, each manifold is connected to a Myson Wiring centre which is linked to stats for each room. Last year I noticed that one of the manifolds was not...

Yes I am going to keep the flexi to a minimum, Vent Axia say there should be a short length on each spigot max 150mm, I think mine will be a bit longer but not too much. I know I will have to insulate it, I will probably box most of it and add insulation inside the boxing, I don't know much...

Yes they are very good I have posted some stuff there but needed more info duct connections.

I am installing a new MVHR unit to replace an old failed and undersized unit. The new unit is a Vent Axia Kinetic Advance S . The house has 125mm plastic ducting, I am having to change some of the ductwork near the MVHR as it is a lot bigger. I have worked out how to do most of the ductwork but...

I am going to lay about 8m of Linkable channel drain to remove surface water from a channel between 2 patio areas. (this sort of drain https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-flodrain-drainage-pack-silver-115mm-x-1m-3-pack/73529) So far I have dug the trench and made sure it has a firm base with...

Thanks, Harry I thought that might be the case, I will have to have a word with my electrician friend and see if he can help with the short length of wire I need ;-)

It is 6mm twin and earth I am using, it is a bit over spec (max inrush current is expected to be 35 amp and normal 22 amp - 5000watt), as a follow up having realised how stiff my cable is, I am considering stripping the wires out of the cable and using them separately (i have a separate run of...

I have a approx 5m run of cable in my garage that I need to replace, its currently temporarily a bit of twin and earth cable-tied to the wall. I want to use 20mm black plastic conduit to make it neat and tidy, is it permissible to run twin and earth inside conduit or does it need to be replaced...

That looks nice and the price is good but as far as I can see it does not allow different temps at different times? we want to be able to set the temperature lower during the night and increase slightly during the day, eg 18c at night 21c during the day.

Sorry to drag up an old thread but it was a threat I started and I need to revisit the topic. I never got round to sorting out this thermostat issue but now with the price of electricity, I am looking to change some of our Myson MTRE thermostats to alternatives that allow different...

I have 2 solar thermal panels on the roof of my garage they are working well but last week when I went up to clean them I noticed that the insulation on the pipes from the panels into the house has started to break down. The system has been installed for 10 years and is in a very sunny position...

Thanks Johnny, re the SBR, I have already done the pointing (without SBR) do you mean to paint over the surface with SBR prior to the Bitumen? I was just going to paint the bitumen straight over the brickwork.

I have an old underground brick building that is about 150 years old, the brickwork above the sloping entrance covering the steps down into the building, was in very poor condition but I repaired the brickwork some years ago and it is now strong. I was advised that it would be worth painting...
