Hi, no shading. It was a case of a little bit of future proofing if it was ok to do. I will have a permanent amp/volt meter on each string to keep an eye on things & if any problem, & its far easeir to pull 5 apart than 10 when X amount of feet up on a roof.

I am also an electrician & retired 20 years ago, so out of touch with many things, but am still more than capable of doing the work, & at a few months short of 70 i wont be taking any courses. Just looking for some help.

Hi, i have an inverter that is a Growatt 6kw with a max 500v input & 150v start up & the panels are all as per spec below. I have 10 panels & would like to wire them in 2 series of 5 = 10 in total. Which i think is 5x40.25voc = 212.50v Is my figures correct for my inverter & should i take any...

Not sure now days, but at one time you could get away with it, but needed to use another master socket. But its been a few years since i was involved with any phones.

Then conect the new one here. & make sure the GU10 is a 4000K to match others in the room.

Looks like a bathroom type fitting with a transformer. I would throw both away & pick up a bathroom lightfitting & a 240v led GU10 bulb.& conect straight to the 2 grey "240v" cables coming in

The young fellow fitting most of it is fully qualified, but i will be giving him a hand. He is also not the easyest peron to contact. Plus he is not VAT registerd & i am, so i can claim it back.

Must admit i can only find 32mm MuPVC pipe & fittings. Which is ok as its a 9m run with 2x45 & 2x90 sweeping bends, so boarder line for 22mm. Hopping i can find a 22 to 32mm reducer in plastic. MUPVC. Thanks for the tip, & looks like we are running a 32mm MUPVC pipe to the drain.

Ah! well done & thanks. The push/glue fit pipe going from the boiler in the loft & connected to the bath waste is dedicated waste pipe all the way to where it connects to the bath which is about 1 meter from the outside drain. So if i separated it from the bath waste & made it direct to the...

Hi, we are looking at getting a 2 emersion pressurised hot water tank fitted & it will need an expansion vessel. Will it harm or help the hot water if we fitted a larger one. Q&A 2 if i can. Our boiler is in the loft next to where this new hot water tank will go & has an 1"&1/2 waste pipe going...

Laugh! The laser was the 1st thing to break off. Will try some S/Glue.

Totally agree.

Hi, its a Draper Expert DTL S0531YF Serial number 70091

No not faulty, its just when cutting a lot of wood it takes twice as long compered to one with a brake. Wasn't sure if it could be braked externally via some electronics as i am sure that's how they do it. But may also be done via electronic magnets. There are a lot of lorry brake assists work...

Best to use a multi-meter & test the L+N of the flex going to the emersion. If your not confident with testing live electric DONT. With 2 emersions there is a 90% chance the lower one is off peak & will only have power between 12 & 6am on the cheap rate. But the top one should be live 24/7.

Totally agree, i rent 3 rooms in my place & if there is a change of lodger a quick scoot around with a brush to touch up is very easy. Quicker than a wash down. Havant had to re-decorate in 8 years & all are happy.

Hi, cant see one on line & was wondering if there was an such a thing as an inline electric circular saw brake ??. The mitre/bench saw i have is fine. But if i am cutting a lots of wood "IE: a hundred pieces" I have to wait for the blade to stop on every cut. Any sensible idea's. ??

ericmark Must admit i wont be feeding back at the moment, so not to bothered on the day rates & concentrating on using as much as pos at night.

I'm with Eon & looking at a change to the Eon EV off peak when i have set this all up at 6.7p for 7 hours a night & then set the inverters to charge the battery's in these hours. I wont be feeding back & will start to look for alternatives to the iboost+
