    DIY Plumbing

    Hi, Could anyone tell me if plumbing in general can be carried out by a DIY, and that only the gas side of things can't? For example fitting hot water tank, cold water storage tank, shower pump! Many thanks

    Socket distance to sink and shaver socket distance to basin

    So basicly by making close to a basin a Z2 you are making it stricter than a Z3 therefore ruling out certain electrical fittings, but this does rule out a qualifiying shaver socket. YES now I get it, at last the penny has dropped

    Socket distance to sink and shaver socket distance to basin

    Hi, I know that there is a mininum distance of 300mm distance from a socket to a sink but my question is, does this include the drainer or just the bowl of the sink? Also is there a mininum distance for a shaver socket to be away from a basin within bathroom? Many thanks

    Electrocution !

    YES :!: :!: :!: My theory was right, I did not think that any electricians would admit to getting an electric shock whilst at work, (not good for business), although I bet that most of you have :!: :!: :!:
