Yup it all sounds plausible radials, ring mains or whatever may be ok or not to add to . Only the DNO can tell. Us mere mortals can only see what we can see and estimate and assume what is what. On large estates etc the DNO might work to a figure of 2kw per dwelling or 3Kw each or something in...

Well must admit I’ve not seen many looped ones either, well the look looped but unless you seen the next property they could be ringed instead. If you visit a looped property, it’s usually one looks normal and the other looks looped so you would likely only realise the loop possibility if you...

Yes I guess the original height dimensions prpbsbly accounted for bog standard baths and maybe even a bit more but none mounted unusually high due to long legs

I think you now have a list of alternative opitions - The one I would go for if I were you is to get a fitting that can more easily be wired using the existing holes, it ticks all the boxes , if you modify the units you have recently bought you might damange them, you will almost certainly...

unless you are accomplished or an electrician then lifting floorboards etc can be a little daunting for ordinary unaccustomed folks - on a few occaisions problematic for those used to it too. but yes it is a sensible consideration too.

the most important thing to me is can it be stopped easily and readily by all all who might need to. if it is purely connected along with a fan and the whole lot together or separately can be switch off then ok. if its got timed overun or such then it needs to be capable of being switched off...

As an aside, ref the zones, the height of zone one and therefore zone 2 is purely from fininshed floor level but if the bath is mounted on a box then I think most of us would accept the place where the bath feet rest to effectively become the new finished floor level. But what size are presumed...

Bonding has the potential (excuse that word "potential") to make installations safer, although it can also have the opposite effect of making things unsafer - a bit like the seat belt scenario, thought to predominantly improve safety yet under some conditions increases the danger. The outcome...

LOL :giggle:

Well, it is a good job that people do not talk about a system that includes the earthing (or grounding) of cars etc or else we would all need to drive around with straps of rubber stuff conducting from chasis to the road surface

Well so long as nobody refers to them as a Ground Fault Circuit Interupter or something I think it might be OK ;)

Yes it is not as uncommon as you might hope, with all of the services. Where I live a lot of the housing stockis sandstone terrace house built about 1910 mostly but a good measure over the years of other uildings of newer ages. The local council at the time used to supply the electrics before it...

John yes we are in complete agreement on all of this, I am purely looking at the name we use to differentiate between the two devices as a sort of "starter for ten" rather than being technologicaly correct, I`m happy enough with the two terms Voltage Operated v Current Operated in this respect...

Yep, i`ll not disagree with that John, in essence. What I was attempting was , what is the best (easiest) way to refer to them in comparison, loosley we calls the current operated (RCD like, comparing currents) or voltage operated (comparing voltages) as a ready distinguishable different kind of...

Could we say that effective it is a rough attempt to compare two voltages 1/ being near true earth local to the installation and the other is the earth at the consumers earth bar, these will always be at different potentials wherever you go on this planet of ours but if we reckon it does not...

That’s good image on phone and WiFi o

Oohhh a bit ruf?

Thanks Flameport

Lidl not Aldi - Parkside Inspection Camera PK1 2.8 B2 IAN 385152_2107 . if that helps

Eric - I suspect that you have a sense of humour kiddo. i think they get sacked and heavily fined if they are caught ever telling the truth, a repeat offence is treason therefore a hanging offence ;)
