My guess is that it's a Buchan Trap (I believe there are other names / manufacturers). The idea is that normally all the water passes through the U bend, so yes there should always be standing water. There should be a removable plug in the upper pipe, if the U bend blocks and water builds up...

If you've got the Flow Temp set to 55C then the boiler will burn sufficient gas to heat the returned water (at whatever temp it's at) to 55C, so when the water is only going through 2 rads the boiler will burn less gas as the returning water will be at a, relatively, high temp. I assume you...

My guess is that that turning the switch left to right is more likely to work.

I needn't have worried, I was concerned that the fins would try to push the plug outwards, but a good firm push was all that was needed for the plug to stay right in.

I want to cap off a 110mm pipe using a McAlpine DC4-BL (link): https://mcalpineplumbing.com/plastic-chrome-fittings/drain-connectors-boss-connectors-roof-flashing/dc4-bl-drain-connector-blank-cap Judging by this drawing (link)...

My understanding is that if you've got only 1 toilet then it mustn't be an electric (edit: aka macerator) one.

We can all see your email address, it's entirely up to you but you might want to edit your account details to give yourself a Username.

Are you saying you've changed from the white to the black? Are you saying that you're only bothered about the switch on the left which is used as a 2-way switch? Final query (from me), are you sure that on the right hand switch that the 2 red wires, which come from outside, haven't been...

This (link): https://www.electricpoint.com/hager-sollysta-cooker-control-unit-50a-white-wmcc50.html would use a double backbox but might need a deep one. I'm sure other manufacturers do similar things.

Just a possibility, once upon a time there was just 1 "13A" cable and 1 daisy chain cable but 3 lights, so chop daisy chain cable in 2 and use both ends.

Do you mean that when you turn on a hot tap then it takes (best part of) a minute for hot water to appear?

It's supposed to keep leaves out of the gutter.

Apologies for living down to my moniker (again). I believe Eric means 40ms.

There's no need to buy one just use an offcut of wire (hopefully you've got some lying around) and sleeve it suitably.

I don't believe that's correct. If I've understood properly then it should be a case of moving the black wire from L1 to L2. But do be very careful as ETAF recommends.

The BG 817 spacers are 10mm thick.

Just living down to my moniker: I think it was Richard Dimbleby who showed the spaghetti trees (on television).

Really? I don’t believe it. My electricity meter only shows complete units (kWh), obviously I dunno if Ihave has a similar one.

Obviously I'd defer to the professionals here, but would a flex outlet plate such as: https://cpc.farnell.com/click/cca017/outlet-plate-20a/dp/PL10173?MER=sy-me-pd-mi-alte on a 16mm pattress be the slimmest solution?
