I'm looking at putting up a carport at the top of the garden behind the garage. Id like to have a double width garage door on the front to make it easy to swing big stuff in and out while turning. The width of the opening will be around 5m wide and be along the gutter side of the roof so bearing...

Ok so I've found the lock shield valve was only open about 1/8th of a turn. Opened it up to 1/4 and the rad is getting nice and warm. Its a fair way from the boiler so id expect it to be a bit more open that that I'll have too check the balancing record to see what it should be set at. Can't...

If i crack the bleed nipple water ****es out so it's getting water from some where maybe the valve on the other side is stuck?

The pin moves freely up and down (although you need something hard to push it as it digs into your figure)

One of my Drayton TRV has stuck in the off position, I can turn the TRV head from frost to max but the radiator just won't get warm, I've bleed it and get water out so i know its not air locked. The next 2 radiators on that pipe run are both getting hot as is the pipe work directly by the tee...

It a Worster Bosch Greenstar 40 CDi classic regular ErP. I've just noticed the digital display on the front of the boiler is saying 65. I have rechecked the flow pipe temperature directly as it comes out of the boiler case, with an analogue pipe thermometer and a digital thermocouple on my...

The rooms do seem to take a while to heat up normally over an hour in the mornings, But it's an unusual house with lots of single glazed chital leaded light windows and most rooms have at least 3 outside walls. I've just fitted some fancy digital TRV's as the nice antique looking ones didn't...

I've just installed 2 digital temperature probes on the boiler flow and return pipes, to try and ensure the boiler is condensing, below the magic number( what ever it is, but that's another discussion). When the system start up from cold in the morning the temperature difference between flow and...

I've just replaced an insulated flexible duct that form part of our warm air heating system. After a few hours of running the room it feeds still hasn't warmed up much. So I went up into the loft void where the duct runs and it was quite warm to touch. I them put a temperature probe at each end...

In example 4 if a stray live conductor touched the isolated copper pipe it would raise it to mains voltage but would not trip any safety devices as there is no path back to ground (its isolated). If you then touched the copper pipe/tap while standing on a wet floor for example you would receive...

thats what i thought just bridging the plastic tanks and bath etc. and join all the copper back to the main earth point my the meter

sorry my bad English I got it the wrong way round I meant dead short. Water pipe is blue MDPE plastic, and gas is yellow MDPE plastic so no bonds where they come up from the ground when they change to copper they are earth bonded to as are the pipes in the airing cupboard back to the CU in the...

Just a standard multi meter with manual range selection. the cable is 16mm T&E

Hammered a long screwdriver into the wet ground outside and repurposed an extension lead to run back to the garage consumer unit checked between Live, neutral and earth and the ground outside, via the extension lead and screwdriver and I've got infinite resistance i.e. dead short on all 3, So I...

it's nearly 60m so I'd prefer not to pull it out if I can help it. If I do pull it out I might as well pull a new one in at the same time, as it's going to take ages and at least i should have solved the issue with a new cable. If it is the cable. One thought i had was to wire and extension lead...

No its a single cable between them no joints. We did have rain so could be a possibility, but its run through a duct the whole way and the duct looks dry. I've just re checked with the cable disconnected completely at both ends (hanging in free air as opposed to in a screw terminal with the...

I've just gone out to the garage and found the power was off. The small fuse board in there was all on, but when i check the main board in the house the 45A RCBO that feed the garage was off. I tried to turn it back on and it just trips straight off again, wont stay on. I then went out and...

there is a link between 3 and 4 hence i only ned 6 core not 7. I'd really prefer not to use all black cores, with the little numbers printed on them . potential for mistakes as it's inevitable in the back of a cupboard in a hard to see spot. Coloured is best.

It's a Danfoss, there's a Live, Neutral, and Earth, then terminals 1,2,3, & 4.

Just noticed this 7 core flex is all black with numbered cores !!! horrible
