That's a good question; required torque is never mentioned. However, it seems to me, that the threads do not start to bite until the "o" rings are pushed in a little.When tightened by hand the two "o" rings are then both well inside the fitting ; and, presumably, these constitute the seal. I...

I suppose, if you are going to nip, it would be as well to fit the short nozzle first!

I take it that you mean that the different lengths offset the arrises of the nuts so that that one doesn't get in the way of the other when attempting to nip. I think this sounds reasonable. I always tighten by hand so the use of a spanner never arises. Interesting that the designers believe...

I am installing a new monobloc in a kitchen sink. Very straight forward job. However, the two "nozzles" which connect the 12mm thread to the flexible pipe are two different lengths. One is 18mm, the other is 34mm. I have not come across this before. It looks as if I can use either tail for the...

looks very promising; many thanks indeed

Thank you Rodderrs53. I posted in the electrical section first and a respondent suggested the plumbing; However I almost immediately received a very helpful answer in this section. (Just above your post). I am afraid the link you gave me was not very helpful; none, none, of the immersion heaters...

Thanks Ian; but I am looking for an heater with dual elements. Regards. Chas

I recently posted a query about installation of dual immersion heaters (my first dual) and received very useful information and advice. I am now doing a similar job but with a stainless steel cylinder. I know that I need an incoloy or titanium heater for this cylinder. These are the specs...

Sorry ericmark but I don't follow your thoughts. All I am looking for is a source for a particular kind of immersion heater. But, perhaps, I will try re=posting in the plumbing section. Thanks. Chas

bog standard cylinder; RM Aquastel. However is an indirerct cylinder used an a direct. Immersion at the top.

Thank you for a very informative discussion. I have chosen a DIN mounted meter to fit into my barn consumer box; and I am confident it will give me the information I need. Not too expensive either. Thanks again for all the advice. Chas

I have read, with interest, some previous posts on this subject. This prompts me to ask if anyone could give me a brief description of how these units work? Does the current being drawn have to go through the unit or does it sense the quantity indirectly (maybe strength of field generated)? In...

Thanks John, a very useful reply. I have re-read my correspondence with the immersion supplier. It is ambiguous ; he implied that when the "bath" is switched on there is a boost to the heating because of the two elements. However, it is likely,I suppose, that the "boost" comes from moving from a...

I have installed a sink/bath immersion heater. The combined rating of the two elements is 5.5KW; drawing, perhaps, 22 amps. The standard, and readily available, sink/bath switch is rated at 20A. Does anyone know of a source of sink/bath switches with an higher rating? I realise that I may have...
