Remember these plugs don't have fuses in them so the whole circuit has to be rated to whatever MCB is in the distro. Loads easier to have every cable the same gauge so it doesn't matter which one you grab.

1.5 protected by a 13A fuse is fine. The better solution is to run the kettle (2kw ish) from the fixed socket and either the nuke (900w) or air fryer (500w) from the trailing lead.

You also might want to check the planning permission for the build- as well as any stipulations on the deeds you may find that PD rights were removed as a precondition of that pp. Easy enough to do online.....

The odd hairline crack in plaster above an inserted beam wouldn't be unusual. A 15mm gap and doorframes distorted is not acceptable. If the steels were RSJs (rather than preformed lintels), Building Control tend to require drawings and specifications from a structural engineer- if your builder...

I use the cheap non-reusable silica things in the caravan over winter - keeps the thing reasonably dry so the cushions don't get stinky and start rotting. For drying out a flooded house you're looking at days not hours. Cheap domestic gennies aren't rated for 100% duty- in that world you are...

Short answer - unlikely to work and even if it did, site dampness is mostly a problem when the building is not airtight. Even if it did work (with your bigger inverter) you'll get at most 3 hrs runtime from your 110aH (at 12v) battery. Most dehumidifiers work by cooling the input air so water...

Why does it need ip68 rating? Doesn't look like a wet space where fingers can get in...

In that case you need another thermostat on the cylinder set to 80°C (that's the max i use) and wired in parallel with your room stat (which will be powering the 2 thermostats on flow and return). So, if room stat is calling for heat, power goes to F & R thermostats. Provided flow and return...

Ebay linkSee if the pins on this look correct . Failing that, Google 12v led psu 2 pin connector and fill your boots

Wiser only support Opentherm on the single channel controller - it does work on the dual channel but can be unpredictable. My system does run for long periods at low burn rates (not actually monitored the gas consumption but the noise levels from the boiler change noticeably) rather than the...

You're looking at a fairly major redesign here. For starters (unless you buy one of the expensive multifuel stoves with built-in safety devices) you'll need to sort out gravity circulation to the hot water cylinder (assuming you have one)- those pipes want to be 28mm copper (no plastic) and...

Yes its fine as long as you match inserts to the pipe.

Depth depends on local conditions - up here its typically 700mm (into the firm clay and below the frost line). If you're having a suspended floor and you have the space to build up ground level under what will be the floor then yes if you must. If you're doing a slab then beware- backfilling...

Why are you digging the clay out of the middle? Usually stripping the topsoil give you enough depth for your floor.

Yerse, as above digging 700mm footings trench and scraping topsoil for my garage (10m x 7m) took 3 8 cube skips. Mostly clay with easy access. You're going to have a significant volume to deal with, if you can't shift it immediately it'll cost you time and money working round it. Time to...

Depends on your ground. Up here there's usually a foot or so of earth, then you hit clay. Spreading the earth around the garden is fine (up to you whether you riddle it to get stones and pebbles out), if you are building up ground level next to other buildings make sure you aren't compromising...

I too have viewed pushfit connectors as witchcraft. Of the 2 mentioned (Hep2O and JG Speedfit) I prefer using the Speedfit- you can always tell when the tube is fully home in the fitting. I've used both types- no leaks WHEN FITTED PROPERLY WITH THE CORRECT INSERTS (You must not mix insert and...

If you find a stud you won't need any sort of plug (assuming they are timber). Heavy curtains can be a problem when people tug them open/closed in random directions. The more fixings you use, the lower the load on each one. I've used the Fischer types before but be wary, you usually need a...

Not checked the personal email world recently. Easy first fix is create a gmail account- free and not dependant on isp. Google do offer personal mail domains if you want that next step.

What do you see when you double-click that Intel Display Audio in Device Manager? Or you could always try Google..... https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000030990/graphics.html
