I will try and get a picture later this evening. it's quite hard to picture as it's a very tight location but will try otherwise will try and draw the layout. I do have a multi-meter and know how to use it yes. Both of the light circuits are using the same live but they just have two different...

I have a 2-gang light switch on one plate, each gang controlling a separate lighting circuit: 1. Downlights 2. Ambient LEDs Both circuits are separate, but I want it so that: Ambient lights can be switched on by themselves When I turn ON the downlights, the ambient circuit also turns ON if it...

Will this do the same thing that the following will do? because it mentions for outdoor taps.

Photo below. I don’t believe the plastic green thing is removable. How wet should the rag be? Or just damp/moist?

I need to solder a 15mm copper 90 degree bend about 11 to 12cm away from the fitting which contains some plastic materials too. I the soldering fire mat which has been great but for this particular solder I’m more concerned that because it’s relatively close to the fitting that the heat will...

From what I’ve read, the confusion comes from “Class 2” meaning different things. In this case it’s Class 2 in the power-limited sense, not Class II (double-insulated). A Class 2 power unit just means the output is limited to a low voltage and low power level that’s considered inherently safe...

Any suggestions or examples of what is a maintenance-free junction box? What cable should I use? 2.5mm twin and earth?

I need to move a shaver socket in my bathroom which is in a stud cavity. But the wire falls about 50cm short. Is there a way to extend this? I have the cavity open at the moment and hasn’t been backer boarded yet.

So put the entire thing in an enclosure maybe like this? https://www.toolstation.com/ip55-junction-box/p70316 And make sure the transformer itself and the connections are all inside the box ?

I have the following transformer (pictured below) which is for an infrared touchless toilet flush system. It’s input power draw seems relatively low. I have a storage cupboard outside the bathroom with a fused spur that has supply but hasn’t got anything connected for the load. It was put there...

I understand what you mean. I’ve got one of those soil pipes with flared end and ring that have gasket too. But I also bought a brand new T stack. The soil pipe with the flared opening and ring in it has what you are talking about and the seal isn’t removable. But the Tee stack is 100% not like...

I have a 110mm soil stack that has rubber rings inside where the soil pipe enters it as pictured below. I’m wondering since I’ve remove the pipe that enters it a few times and the rubber is about 15 years old can these rubber rings be changed in their own? The rubber ring does come out. It’s...

I’m installing a concealed shower valve with an in-wall brass box. It has four connections: hot and cold inlets, and two outlets (for example a fixed head and a hand shower). Before I board and tile the wall, both outlet pipes will be connected and capped at the drop-ear wall plates (½”...

I’m installing a Mira shower tray and the waste trap has two outputs and one output is to be capped with a blanking cap that has a blanking washer. The other pipe that connects to the waste pipe only has a conical ring for the compression fitting but it doesn’t have the usual flat washer that...

Here is a closeup picture of it dismantled. It containers the main body with the collar then a blue washer then an O ring then another blue washer. It uses metal inserts too. Is this the polyfit system? They’ve used it a lot under my floor boards and I’m wondering is this as reliable as JG? I...

Under my floorboards I’ve got this type of pushfit system and some Tees and elbows but I need to remove the tee and just put the exist elbow as I don’t need the tee section. But it doesn’t seem to look like the standard JG speedfit type that you twist to lock and unlock and push the collar and...

Really but visually looking at it when I clamp it to the vertical soil pipe, that entry port where the rubber gasket goes looks dead straight lol. So wondering how does the pipe that goes into it then bend to create a fall? Or will the rubber tolerate this? Worried that flexing it to make the...

I’m connecting a 40mm shower waste into a vertical soil stack using a boss strap. The boss inlet will be side-entry (horizontal) into the stack and i have a rubber adaptor for the 40mm pipe to enter the boss inlet bit. The distance from the shower tray outlet to the boss strap connection is...

I bought the following boss strap from Toolstation and bought the rubber 40mm insert for it. But nowhere does it say if the strap is suitable plastic that will solvent weld or not. Because from what I remember only abs and certain plastics can be solvent welded. Therefore the bit that’s going to...

I have a soil stack as pictured. I no longer need that white 40mm pipe going into the stack. But i also need to trim back the pretending bits. So I’ve highlighted in green and red. The red one I can trim the bit sticking out but for the bottom one in green that currently already has a solvent...
