    Restricting Socket Use

    :LOL: That's a Mercury Arc Rectifier from a Type 80 Radar. Great idea, however he might want children of his own at some point :)

    Restricting Socket Use

    He could, but that'll be considered to much effort/hard work and I'll obviously know he's doing it. He's not so bad that he kicks off majorly when I switch stuff off, there is no violence of verbals, just a lot of whining/whinging/pleading/arguing. If the boundary is set and stuck to then he...

    Restricting Socket Use

    Laptop I was going to solve by removing the wifi card so he has no internet access when the power outlet is off, his console is entirely solid state so doesn't have an issue with abrupt power loss, thinking about it I could pull the battery from the laptop as well..... I've got the ACL's set for...

    Restricting Socket Use

    Hi All, So I’ve got a preteen who has a case of electronics addiction. I’m shortly to be moving house and have elected to give him space (a box bedroom) to setup his console/laptop/TV in isolation from his actual sleepy bye byes time bedroom. I’m not one for protracted teenage...

    WTAF are these called???

    Yeah, I’ve been doing that for the last hour. There isn’t a seal on there that resembles this seal. Nor is there one on the Roman website that has the same profile, never mind dimensions. Thanks though.

    WTAF are these called???

    I’ve got a Roman collage shower enclosure. Some of the seals have aged and discoloured. But can I find a replacement or even get the right name, can I balls. That’s the profile, it’s 5-6mm Wide and 10mm deep. Any suggestions before I set it on fire!!! Cheers

    Wireless network solution

    In answer to your actual question. Yes you can buy any access point/repeater/wifi device you like and have it become an additional node on the same wifi network. Just set the SSID and Password the same, and it will behave as another point of connection for the same wifi network. The client...

    Water Softener

    I've got a Minimax 3 which is a Harvey by any other name, and I'd recommend it. I live in the Huntingdonshire area and the water is pretty hard, it was ruining showers/taps fairly rapidly but I've had this fitted probably about 4 years now and it's doing a great job. Looks like you've already...

    Water Softener

    The white pipe is a drain for the filter charge water. The massively sodium laden (could've said Saline, but couldn't remember the word at the time) stuff that is flushed through the cartridges to recharge them periodically.

    Ring main extension for washer and dryer

    What would be the point of using 4mm for a portion??? Your max current carrying capacity is going to be limited by your weakest link. Assuming good ring continuity then your weakest link will be your MCB/RCBO (hopefully)............ FCU not a bad suggestion, but your protecting each accessory...

    Should I have a pumped shower?

    Yeah I think that's entirely the point. I'm not sure what purpose a CWST would serve in a unvented cylinder installation, other than to make it vented..... Where would you feed into the tank? Are you suggesting pressurising the CWST with a pump to then feed into the unvented cylinder? Don't...

    Should I have a pumped shower?

    I didn't know what a Jab was so had to look it up :) From reading other threads Joule seems to crop up quite often as a recommendation. I've got in touch with the chap who replaced the boiler 6 Months ago, to see if he would be prepared to carry out the works.

    Sugar Puffs aren't even kellogg's, what kind if heathen variety packs are you buying!!!

    Should I have a pumped shower?

    Yes moving swiftly on. I hadn't considered an unvented system because............... Well mostly cos I didn't know enough it appears. I figured it 'Required' a system type boiler, and the boiler I will have is a 6 Month old Main Heat only boiler. Know that I realise you can use a heat only...

    Should I have a pumped shower?

    I've not yet checked the size of the CWST but if it's not a 50 Gallon+ I'll replace it as the first task. The house is 1990's vintage and what I'm anticipating is that the downstairs cold feeds (2 Sinks/Cloakroom Basin/Toilet) are all at mains pressure, but I'll check before ripping anything...

    Should I have a pumped shower?

    Hi All, Thanks I think I'll go with the Stuart Turner then. @bod I can pipe up to the Storage and Cylinder according to the installation docs, and the Main Bathroom sits adjacent to the Cylinder so I'm not greatly worried about that install. It's a bit of a run to the En-Suite though. Should I...

    Should I have a pumped shower?

    Hi Everyone, I'm after some suggestions please on how best to deal with a pair of showers in a vented hot water system. Current installation consists of (I believe, I've not moved in yet) Main brand Heat only boiler (new) Hot Vented Cylinder in airing cupboard (size dunno but can provide a...

    Curious - Hager CU and SPD

    I was under the impression it protects consumer side stuff from incoming supply surges. It would be difficult to believe it could protect consumer side devices fully when for example in the case of a ring final a surge at any accessory point is going to hit x number of other accessory points...

    Curious - Hager CU and SPD

    https://hager.com/uk/support/regulations-amd-2/residential-spd-board No secondary upstream protection devices required In the past, surge protection devices required an MCB or fuses in the consumer unit to provide backup protection using one of the outgoing ways. Our solution removes this...

    Curious - Hager CU and SPD

    Afternoon All, Purely a curiosity question this but - Hager and most other CU manufacturers in the past had a secondary protection device (MCB) upstream of the SPD. The RCBO board I've bought now takes directly from the 100A incomer and their literature states no upstream protection is...
