Well, if it's going to really awkward to work in the Hagar, I'd take the Wylex. The dimensions of the Hagar certainly suggest it'll be more awkward :-/

Hmm. That's a shame about the Curve. They look like they have a fantastic amount of space up top. I'm a bit worried about the amount of space in the Hagar CU. I'll see if I can find some internal dimensions.

I'm looking for a consumer unit and a thread on here a while ago seemed recommend Hagar units, but I can't find one that's populated with RCBOs. Cheap isn't high priority (although obviously a consideration), but quality of the unit and ease of install is. (This is for my own home) Here's...

Fantastic. Thanks for the reply. I'll have a look myself, first, as I'm in the middle of a complete re-wire at the moment so I hope I'm able to work this out. Advice noted though. Cheers.

Our boiler was installed by a professional, but since we were in the middle of major renovations, there wasn't a thermostat to connect up. I've now fitted a Heatmiser thermostat/timer, but just need to connect Ns Ls and Lr to the boiler itself. I might be being a bit daft, but do I have to...

Sorry, i didn't state. it's a combi boiler.

They're the way round the manual says they should be. The system is new. They're spring return valves, so i think they fail closed. I guess that means the motor won't close it any tighter than the spring does. The heat is coming from the flow, not the return, so i guess it's not...

I've got a couple of these, controlling a upstairs and downstairs zones: http://www.screwfix.com/p/siemens-czv222-2-port-zone-valve/77334 I'm using them manually at the moment, as I've not wired in the thermostat/timer just yet. I'm just about to. I notice that when they're closed, the...

I'm in the process of fitting new central heating, and I'm unsure which cable to use to wire up the thermostat. I'm using a PRT2-TS, and wiring it into a Honeywell junction box next to the zone valves and the boiler. Controller...

Thanks for all the replies. I have enough to do at the moment, so I think I'll probably just shift it all as braziery. Place your bets, now! </banzai> Will let you know what I get for it :)

Hi guys. I've dismantled our old central heating and I'd like to try and get a few quid for the copper, if possible. Any guesses on around how much this would be worth? There's some 28mm in there, and a hefty pump (garuntee expired 1975), but the tank was stolen already, which is why this is now...

Some sockets are on walls that are moving, some sockets are being moved in the rewire and we need to plaster over them. Hehe. A good renovation indeed. The lights are being replaced as is. They're all just loop-in, so I think I'm able to replace them under the like-for-like rule, no...

I'm not part P certified, but we're renovating our house. The house will be rewired at a later date, but in the mean-time, am I able to remove sockets from a ring main, replacing them with chocboxes and 30A terminal strips? http://www.screwfix.com/p/chocbox/54936 At present, there's only...

I don't think they look the same. Similar, yes, but not the same.

It's a combi, no hot water tank, so the central heating system will be sealed, right? Is the pressure relief valve just for the central heating system, or for the hot water side of things too? Cheers

In an ideal world, I would have it draining downwards. But if it's possible to have the boiler in the cellar, that would give us an extra cupboard upstairs and keep the cellar as the plumbing/utility/electrics/commsroom as we'd planned. Oh, and while typing, I've just had a call from a...

Hi. I'm trying to get a Worcester Bosch 30CDi installed in our cellar. Does the pressure relief pipework have to drain downwards from the boiler, or can it come out of the boiler, and run up the wall to near the top of the boiler (but not above) to exit the house? The cellar is only half...

At the risk of sounding at best like a skoolboy (and at worst like a div), given that that pipe I marked as horizontal is actually horizontal, why wouldn't any air in the coil just bubble up to the filling tank?

Hmm. I suspect it might be air, rather than blocked, as this happened when I drained and refilled the system. I realise it could have become blocked when i refilled, but I'll try everything else. I'll run the boiler on max for a bit. Cheers.
