    Bonding Radiators, pipes or radiator directly.

    Hypothetical question, trying to understand what would be allowed and what not. Say I have a Metal radiator, fed by 15MM copper pipe, using brass connectors (No plastic anywhere). And it requires bonding in order to comply with XYZ. Are you allowed to just bond all the pipes directly at...

    Train eviction video: 'Big Man' is charged

    Nah, what saddens me is the attitude towards "big man" when in my opinion he quite obviously did the right thing, as the other passenger was disrupting the rail service, being abusive towards the conductor and refusing to be the bigger man and simply accept that the train won't be going anywhere...

    Gewiss box Vs tractor

    I thought you were a man of rules and regulations? Why would you adopt Pre 1977 colours for it? It would take just as much work to use the current colours for it. If he wanted to do it "correct" and within compliance why not go straight to the current IEE colour scheme, as opposed to pre...

    communism failed, so, now will capitalism also fail?

    Disaster in the making? Advice needed please

    Thermalite can support loads properly but they have to be spread adequately with a wide enough lintel. How far is it overlapped onto the walls? If the lintel was a pre-fab, there should be instructions on how wide a gap it can span maximum, along with how much of the lintel edges should...

    cable

    Is it just me or do these cryptic "I know the answer to what you are asking, but I am not sharing it until you tell me your answer" type of posts get on your nerves? I'd love to know the reasons between cable selection for Alarms. Telephone vs Alarm Stranded vs Solid Cross-sectional...

    communism failed, so, now will capitalism also fail?

    Communism, capitalism. Two different labels for the same thing, a system that wants (Requires) you to work your ass off and hand your money over to "The Government" for the "Greater good". Point of view from Slovakia from what I have seen. Communism - Everyone had a job - Everyone was...

    outside socket

    If its fused accordingly and water proof to IP55 or greater I don't see why not? Something like this would be ideal for "Wet" scenario's: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Wiring_Accessories_Menu_Index/RCD_Protected_Range/RCD_Protected_Range_2/index.html And sockets like these...

    rcd trips when lamp blows

    Well, when a filament goes pop, what kind of behaviour would you see? Sudden increase in temperature -> Increase in resistance -> decrease in current. ? But surely that would be the same as switching on a device.. Maybe it acts as a capacitor for a split second between the ends of the...
