well, i've opened up my SFCU's and it seems to me that these are part of the ring circuit and then there is 1 wire that then must run to the socket below, does this sound right. 1) does the ring run through the SFCU's 2) does then a wire run from there to the socket below. kind regards...

yes, sorry, they are 13amp of course. So, am i correct in thinking that the ring circuit runs through the SFCU's and then a wire drops down from there to the appropraie 13 amp plug socket, in which the appliance will be pluged into? kind regards Andemz

Hi all, hope everyone is well. I was looking at my kitchen today and thought to myself, I’ve got a lot of switched fused connection units around the place, both in the kitchen and the utility. This prompted a question to this forum. I presume that the ring circuit actually runs through...

I don't understand your point, he has issued a certificate, i haven't mentioned that he hasn't issued a certificate, i have the corgi certificate in front of me. With regards to commissioning the boiler - that is a term that he has expressed on his receipt.

Thanks for the response, it seems really funny this does as a RGI actually gave me a gas safety cert on 8th May, 2008 and comissioned the boiler, i've giove him a call as i've got a tennant coming in on monday. (Perhaps not now)..... certainly isn't anything to do with the supply as all...

Hi all, I have a glow worm mark II boiler. Instructions for lighting are simple. Hold button for 20 seconds after the ignition flame has lighted, once the flame is stable and alight, switch on the electric switch and then move the knob in between minimum and maximum. Ok… Everything...

What is the technique of plastering and how do you plan the job. My understanding is that you apply a rough coat, leave it for say 20mins and then apply a second coat and then flick small amounts of water with a brush and trowel up. Sounds easy when I say it like that, though many people...

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I am considering undertaking the work myself, though very clearly I won’t be undertaking any Gas work, nor ripping the boiler off the wall. I was considering taking all of the necessary pipes 22mm flow and return, 15mm cold mains inlet and 15mm hot water...

Hi all, I am very interested in learning how a conversion from a conventional heating system to a combi boiler takes place. I have searched this forum over the past 2 days and have also searched the web. There are ,any diagrams showing pictures of the various types of heating systems...

Hi all, Visited a relative on the East Coast a few weeks ago and noticed, while on the throne, (not that you needed to know that), that there was, what seemed to be a 4mm earth cable run from the radiator to the toilet inlet supply. Earth wire was tacked onto the top of the wooden skirting...

Hi all, I was just wondering if there are any fully waterproof submersible bricklights on the market. If so can you point me in the right direction please links would be great.

I think for piece of mind, i would be asking you to do a re-wire for me and give me a certificate. It sounds as though the building is half way there anyway, so a bit more chasing out here and there won't harm anyone. The renter can have piece of mind then and be all certified up. That...

The transformer as got to be a dimable one, so you need to check that out. Also you will need to calculate the wattage of lights and see if the dimmer that you have can dim the wattage of the lights that you have. E.g. If you hav 50 w of lights the dimmer needs to be able to dim 100w you...

If you have an extension and conservatory built i appreciate that this needs to have the appropriate is it P1 or PI for the building inspector. Even if you have had your house fully re-wired, is the building inspector only interested in the addition that you have made to the exsiting house, or...

A question on bathroom lighting and bonding. Is it the case that when bonding in a bathroom you have to wire 4mm earth into all of the point e.g. pull cord to extractor fan to bath, sink and so on. And secondly if you have an extractor fan, evn with a pull cord on it does it need to have...

can you do a periodic inspection report on a the harmonised colours, which have obviously been recently installed. i though PIR's only covered work done over 12 months ago.

many of you know that, i have followed strictly with my various handbooks and have re-wired the whole of my house. I had a person in, to connect up to my consumer unit, the meter tails, earth and all of the rings and raidials. he put his testing instrument across the consumer unit and...
