Hi, Does anyone know where I could get these exact tiles from? This sample is from Al-murad, however each time I go in their price changes. Was trying to find like for like online so I can compare pricing. Thanks

I have bought a Honeywell PIR to replace a faulty Texecom PIR. Faulty PIR has the following labelled connectors: + = obviously power - = ground N = ? C = ? T = is this Tamper? T = is this Tamper? Assume that the N and C are the alarm zone wires? The new Honeywell PIR has: T2 = is this...

Thanks for the reply.

Hi, I have a Texecom Veritas R8 alarm with what I believe are the Texecom Reflex PIRs. One of the sensors is broken and I have a Honeywell PIR to replace it. Both have 6 connections for the 6 core cable, however the Texecom has a tamper switch (a little spring), where as the Honeywell does...

Hi Looking to fit approx 6 square metres of split face to a kitchen wall. Tile shop has said to use silicone or no nails to stick onto the wall. The wall to be tiled is a painted plasteboard wall and is in good condition. Guessing this isn't the ideal method but has anyone else used this...

Seems to be lots of conflicting info regarding joining cables lately. I asked a similar question (joining 2.5mm ring main) and crimping is not the preferred method in solid cables. Apparently crimping is meant for stranded cables. Yet on this thread, crimping 2.5mm and wrapping with HS is...

So why have them in 1.5 and 2.5 sizes?

If they do not need to be accessible why are they are not MF? Not sure yet regarding current cable route. Assuming by your wording if the cable runs vertically (up or down) to it I can't move horizontally? I'll be getting one of these...

Thanks stillp, are these a MF join and allowed in inaccessible areas (ie behind plaster)?

Yes, that's why I have said I would buy both colours / sizes Blue for 2.5 live / neutral Red for 1.5 earth

Hi, Need to move a socket around 6" horizontally. Was going to get a pack of blue for the live / neutral and the red for the earth. Once crimped can I plaster over? http://www.screwfix.com/p/insulated-crimp-red-butt-pack-of-100/94616#product_additional_details_container Thanks

Thanks both

Hi Looking at gas hobs, one says Comes with standard UK plug Other one says Requires 13a power supply Arent these the same - Is just a case of adding a plug to the "requires 13a power supply" hob? Thanks

TBH I didn't think that would be allowed - taking a 2.5mm spur from 6mm cable. The spurred socket would only be used for the gas hob ignition. Sure would be a lot easier Thanks

Kill 2 birds with one stone. However, I am just going to join with a cooker outlet plate and spur from a near by socket for the new plug. Thanks for all the replies.

I have, but instead of joining the cable in an outlet plate, could I use another isolation switch ?

Hi We are having a Howdens kitchen fitted and have opted for built in oven and microwave combi. The depth of the cabinet from face to back panel is 500mm. 99% of the ovens I have been looking at state minimum 550mm. Is it just a case of cutting out the back panel? Thanks

Thank you Eric. Could I use a cooker isolation switch instead of an outlet plate as I also need a socket for the hob (ignition for the gas hob)?

Excellent thank you.

Hi all Cooker circuit is 6mm twin and earth protected by a 32amp breaker. If I wanted to install an electric oven and microwave combi (both 16 amp), could I wire both into the same oven faceplate? Thanks
