Oh, OK it works - Good man

Cheers for the reply Freddy, still not convinced that I've got it though.

I actually have three drain - cocks, one I have identified as the heating. The other two I was going to try and identify through basic pressure tests on tas around the house. Good point though, I could run pushfit from my kitchen sink, out through a wall and then use them for the permanent...

Gents n ladies, I have got to build an entrance ramp from the roadway to a carparking area. the difference in height is about 1000mm lower in the carpark. In the area just next to the higher bank (road) there are privet hedges. So if I cut these back to ground level there will be approx...

Cheers for getting in touch JohnD, Its a screw on. Only the actual draincock is exposed through the wall, the compression fitting (somehow)is just within the hole in the brickwork, so I would struggle to reach it. It then goes under a wooden floor which has got kitchen cabinets above that I...

Hi chaps, I need to run temporary services - dishwasher + washing machine - while I build a new extension. Theoretically I could use my cold water drain cock as the connection for these temporary services - is there any reasons why not? Secondly, could I not permanently extend from this...

Thanks for replying guys. I started the hole on the outside where I have a stopcock on the inside. Have dug to about 600mm down all along the wall, (the Anglia Water main is about 10m away, closest to this wall also). There are also two draincocks on this wall that I have dug around. The...

Chaps, I have been digging around my house to try and find the point that the mains water enters - and cannot find it! @!!*!&*! How deep is the mains likely to be please? thanks, James

Hi BOS, Its a; B&Q 'VOLTAGE MAINS TESTER' 220-240V/AC rated. Looks a bit like a digital thermometer On the back it says; 'this does not require a battery' I didn't intentionally check n-e etc, but followed the instructions;- Testing for mains power (AC voltage) Probe the live...

Hi guys, Thanks for the information. I have taken your advice and removed all electrical sockets/cables etc from the lean to. For the sockets, there was a completely independant ring from my fuse board, I have discconected this from the fuse board, but cannot remove the cables completely...

Hi Guys, I am constructing an extension in place of a lean-to. The EA has specified that my new ffl is to be the same as the main house. The lean to was about 200mm lower. The new build is on a raft, but due to the ffl, existing radiators pipework would enter the new build in the raft not...

Hi guys, I am pulling down a lean-to from my house before building an extension. Currently there are sockets on my ring main in the lean-to that I want to re-use when the extension is up. There is part of a lighting circuit and switches that again I would like to reuse. Due to...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could advise me on the below please;- I have a victorian property with a separate washroom/outhouse and need to turn off the water to the outhouse before alterations to make it habitable. Currently there are two lead pipes reduced to 15mm copper, in the...

Hi Guys, How close can I run a foul pipe to my raft foundation? The pipe run would ideally hug the outer edge of the thickened raft before running beneath the raft, conecting to the services from the new bathroom on the raft before joining up with my existing service runs. Any info would...

So still gonna end up with 2 switches somewhere on the wall? One over the other isn't an option then, side by side might work.. but prob. go back to the plan of one on either side of the room, 13A FCUs, do i swap out the fuses with 3A? cheers J

Fair point, but have bought the blighters now. 600mm2, gonna put one above the other on a wall, apparently pretty environmental, just wanted to reduce the number of switches on the wall. If that nots going to happen then I will have to have 2? James

Thanks for the responses, Manufacturers fuse instructions - 3A. tiny room, 400w was the biggest slimline available in range of 30mm total depth out from wall, Do I need seperate isolation for them - unless one malfunctions? Cheers j

Hi Chaps, Got two 400w 3A slimline panel heaters and would like to wire into one switched fused connector unit. Can I do this? What size fuse, and do I put the new fuse into the one 13A unit I am proposing to use for the job. Info would be appreciated. Thanks, James
