Just out of interest, how will the LABC 'catch him out'? Obviously the work has to comply with the regs to be done safely, but with regards to notifying the LABC how would they ever find out? Has anyone ever been prosecuted by the LABC for not notifying apart from when the work has not complied...

I should proberly add that each element has a built in thermal cut out aswel as a thermostat.

Not heard of that before either JackC, could you lead me to that reg? Thankyou Kai for your input, this was the road that I was looking at going. For anyone else that comes to read this post, after again speaking to the MAIN technical helpline, I was informed that the two seperate feeds too two...

Well the two elements obviously have thermostats on, but is there some other control then? Would you like to guide me to which regs in the 17th ed you refer too? If the vessel starts pressuring and boiling will the cut outs that come installed not cut out and the plumbers bit allow the tank to...

And please do not role your eyes at me, I find it rather rude :roll: And please read my posts properly before attacking, mucho gracias :roll:

Oh dear Taylortwocities- Your too eager to do the whole diyer shouldnt do this, shoudnt do that lark and making assumptions, if you actually read my post you will see I am well aware what the MCB does, and know that its to ensure a cable does not exceed the amount of current it can safely carry...

@Taylortwocities - Sorry mate may not have made it clear, but as the subject says, its a direct cylinder so no boiler involved, heated straight from the immersions! I am intrigued as to what these mandatory interlocks are though? As mentioned not bought the thing yet so any info is greatly...

Thankyou I understand this is not for a DIY install. I thought it would be for a Eco 7 setup, as this is not needed it looks like i just have a back up element. The plumber is installing the tank, just needed to know what the two elements were for, for the electrical side of things. Thanks again.

Good morning all, As the subject suggests, we are looking at buying the above water cylinder, to replace our current hot water tank. Having read up on the above cylinder it comes with two 3kW elements, instead of the one element that the old one has. My question is- Why the two elements? At...

Cheers chaps, think I am going to have to bite the bullet and crack the bottom row of tiles, seems like the best option. Spoken to supplier and they will replace the tiles at cost price so not all bad I guess. Thanks again.

anybody? I'm desperado here! :cry:

Good morning all, I hope this is in the right section. I was offered by a friend to help tile my shower room before he went away, he tiled the room from floor to ceiling, doing a very nice job indeed. However now the time has come to install my shower tray, and I have read that the tray was...

Having a business/domestic property means you will have to pay domestic council tax, and also business council tax, although there are some exceptions. You are then also meant to work out a percentage of what your usage is for business and a percentage for domestic. As geraint said, you can get...

Hello mate, This info might be usefull. The misses runs a salon in our home, and although we have a meter for both the salon and the house, we only have one NPAN number so both are supplied via BG business tariffs. They are by no means cheaper and we have to pay a standing charge on both...

Thought I would add my piece, just to hopefully put your mind to rest more then anything else. I am currently buying a property, had a survey done, and it picked up the fact that there was a opening that had been made and a RSJ put in place. I knew about this as the RSJ has actually been left on...

Will the junction box be accessible for inspection? I.E Not under a floorboard or buried in a wall?

Indeed Tim, thats is why I allowed 32A on the boiler circuit in my original post. I think I will do as the majority have suggested and go for it. Thankyou everyone for your help.

It might be worth reading Part 2 of BS7671. I wouldn't say the 'pigtails' are cpc's - definition: 'A protective conductor connecting exposed conductive parts of equipment to the MET'. The 'pigtails' do not directly link these parts to the MET. Instead I would say they are a 'Bonding Conductor'...

@ricicle - when I say straight forward, installing a plant where you know exactly what the most is going to be that is running at one point, thats abit easier then guessing what one, two, three or four people are planning on doing at certain times in there daily routines. Or the numerous...
