Hi, thanks for your reply. Fair enough, i thought that it might not help. Is 12 litres/min a poor flow rate for a bath? That's my biggest concern currently.

Here's my very basic diagram of my house. The blue lines are the existing cold mains in 15mm copper. Is it worth adding more pipework (purple) in order to create a loop? or is this pointless?

Hi, I have just plumbed all of the Cold Water for my house. I have put in a new 15mm stop cock, pressure reducing valve, drain cock and then 15mm copper pipe with soldered joints to my Kitchen and then to my bathroom. I have done it ALL in 15mm, including up to the Bath taps etc. The reason...

Hi, I have now sorted it and it's all working. I was overcomplicating / overthinking it. Thanks for your help

Hello, OK thanks. I will take a look. Might not risk it and just try and get it done quickly with the siren going off, Cheers

And it's OK to effectively do this work live? I have spare fuses, but i don't wanna damage anything working on a live board. Thanks

Hello, OK thanks for the advise. I wil try this today. Thanks

Hi, I fully installed my Honeywell Accenta Gen4 system with Honeywell PIRs and an ADT ext bell box a few weeks ago. All is working fine. However i would now like to install a Honeywell internal siren. In my manual, there is no section that mentions internal siren, but there is a section for...

Hi, I am currently considering becoming an electrician after many years of being self employed in IT and after spending several years working in Construction. I am thinking of starting a C&G 2365 Level 3 electrical course fairly soon. I would then do 17th Wiring and maybe PAT testing and...

Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your replies. Yeah my Virgin Media is indeed Gigabit on ALL LAN ports. Also ive checked the Link speeds in task manager at it said Gigabit connection. Has anyone here managed to get a HD stream over a network with no lag? OR do i just have to accept it with 2...

Hi, Thanks for the help. I have wired up both sides exactly as you suggest. But when i turn the system on, I get the tamper lockout fault. Do you reckon this is to do with a tamp not working on siren end? Is there a way to temp bypass the tamper on the bell box? I read somewhere that you...

Hi all, Thanks for your replies. My DVR is connected to the back of my Virgin Media home hub and then from the Hub to the back of my PC. Both with short 1m gold plates cables. My PC CPU has 8 x Cores @ 4.5ghz, 64GB of RAM and a 2GB Graphics Card. So maybe it's the graphics card? I login via...

Hi. Viewing on a PC monitor via internet explorer. PC wired to router via cat6 cable, router wired to Cctv DVR via cat6 cable. Maybe IE is causing the lag?

Hi, When i view my 8 x 1080p CCTV cameras directy via a DVI or HDMI cable, i get very responsive live feeds with no lag. But when i view the same through a Cat 6 network cable plugged directly between my DVR and my Router, i get 1-2 seconds of lag on all feeds. How can i resolve this lag...

Hi there, The price that my roofer has given me is £1700 over the cost that SIG said it will be for the tiles only. So that's £1500 to cover things like roof felt, batons, ridges, flashing etc). I have calculated £350 for batons, £250 for felt, but then that would leave £1100 left in their...

Hi, thanks for your reply. We are going with Dry Ridge and i believe that there are chaped ridge tiles by the same manufacturer for this. The felt is 180g/m weight breathable. The brand is Protec. Yes these are for Red batons on both quotes. The understanding with our roofer though is that...
