Hi, thanks for your reply. Yeah you are probably right that a newer model would have been better!. Can i simply hard wire the black and red cables from the 6 core alarm cable to power the LED circuit board, as well as obviously going to the siren? thanks

Hi, I'm thinking of purchasing this Grade 3 Elmdale ADT bell box: Image by mstizomad posted 4 Dec 2016 at 11:54 PM Image by mstizomad posted 5 Dec 2016 at 12:30 AM However, the LED circuit board seems to be connected onto to a battery, much like with a dummy box. The green led circuit board...

Hi, One of the boxes that I'm looking at is this one. It has the siren and LEDs, however the LEDs seem to be attached to a battery and not to the metal siren box. Image by mstizomad posted 4 Dec 2016 at 11:54 PM However there is a black cable from the siren box. Does this black cable connect...

Hi there, Sorry the seller told me the wrong info, after looking at the writing on the inside, it's actually Grade 3. Also, I found an old thread which had instructions on for connecting an ADT elmdene bell box to an Accenta G4 system. It said: Bell/Panel ST / STB - RTN / T H+ /D H- / A R-...

Hi, the ADT bell box is model: Elmdene Model 7422-EN Grade 1 The bell box is classed as excellent condition and tested and working. Would you recommend one live bell box and one dummy on my Honeywell system? Would an ADT dummy still have flashing leds? Thanks

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I'm looking at an Honeywell Accenta Mini Gen4 alarm panel and keypad. although I'm happy to change that. I've found multiple new and used (good condition) ADT bell boxes for sale on ebay. They are the yellow and hexagon type,

Hi, I am about to install my alarm system to go alongside my CCTV system. I am going to install a good spec Honeywell system with autodialler and adjustable PiRs etc. However I would like to install ADT bell boxes at the front and back as they look visually more detering and nicer compared to...

Hello, I have fitted good quality, but standard bore Isolation valves underneath all of my taps and near all appliances and shower etc. But I didn't realise at the time that Isolation valves tend to have a bore of less than the 15mm pipe they are connected to. For areas that need maximum flow...

All the pipework in this area is also really loose. I'm just going to cut out everything and completely redo the whole area with a new straight run in the corner, a new stop tap and a water hammer arrestor just for good measure. I have also noticed that we are getting vibrations and small...

Hi, They are in series!, We only have one incoming water main as standard. I've attached a photo: I think the previous owner of the house found that the old stop tap was starting the leak / fail and rather than replacing it, he just put another stop tap on the pipe! The old stop tap has a...

Hi, thanks for the advice. We have TWO stop taps where the water comes into the property, one new and one old, pretty much next to each other. The older one has a VERY slow drip on it, so i will definately look into changing the washer OR replacing the entire stop tap. I will also look at...

Hi, Yes it's only over a single bang noise, as opposed to continuous hammering. If i turn the basin tap off very slowly, it's doesn't do it at all. But even turning off at a medium pace causes a large bang. Should i consider replacing those taps for ones with a 3/4 inch bore instead of 1/2...

Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your responses. All of our taps are suitable for pressure up to 8bar, and i don't think our pressure is as high as that, but i will get a pressure test device tomorrow. The pipes don't go through any joists or walls. Yes there is a valve in the toiley inlet...

Hi, We have just done a large amount of plumbing ourselves in our renovated bungalow. It's all been done to a good standard in terms of soldering etc and it's all in copper. We have use 15mm pipes for the entire cold water system as that's what it was originally before being wripped out and...
