    best outdoor camera for gutter surveillance

    I understand what you are trying to achieve but don’t see how a camera is going to help. Every time you get heavy rain, you’ll be watching the monitor (probably better than watching some of the dross on broadcast Television) assuming you are at home at the time or you have a system that can be...

    Pipe types are normally Polybutylene, PEX or MLC and domestic systems tend to be 10mm (in overlay type UFH) and either 15mm or 16mm in screed. As already mentioned, there are plenty of companies / manufacturers that will help with system design, length of circuits, pipe centres etc.

    Thanks, I’d already googled and found that thread, unfortunately tried those suggestions but no luck. Although some of those options appear slightly different on her model, no DNLA Server, but there is a Home Network which I’ve turned off. Many thanks anyway. I’ll hold off on the factory...

    I wouldn’t use pushfit on that copper tube, too many potential problems that may stop the “O” ring from sealing. I would opt for a Pegler or similar quality 1/4 turn lever valve, compression.

    Leaking JG speed fit elbow

    Replace the fitting, make sure the copper pipe has been cut with a pipe slice or similar that puts a bevel on the end of the tube (square cuts with a hacksaw can leave sharp burrs that can damage the “O” ring and cause leaks) make sure there is no damage to the copper where the “O” ring sits...

    where do I find the doorbell transformer?

    Is the existing bell push wired ? If not, it may have been a wireless bell where it is battery operated and the “chime” can be moved around the house without connecting wires.
