The mirror would be, I.e. the cable ends, the FCU would be 300/400mm from the end of the bath if you draw a vertical line up from the end of the bath, but ceiling height less the distance to the FCU so from the edge of the bath about 1600mm above it

The middle of a 600mm vanity unit located at the end of the bath.

The only reason as per my OP for using the 16A circuit is that it is currently redundant and is already running down the wall near to where the vanity unit will be located. Yes I could use the lighting circuit and I do have a feed I could use but would have to reroute for the purpose when I...

Yes could do that, just thinking that the circuit could be used for other services possibly, not sure what, so thinking the CU stays at 16A and I step down outside the bathroom.

My vanity unit 600mm wide will be next to the end of the bath, so I guess within zone 2 with the FCU located just below the ceiling. I have to build a small partition wall leading into the bathroom, and wondering if it’s better located there I would pull back the cable from the current location...

There seems to be a lot of discussion on other forums about putting an FCU in a zone 2 area of a bathroom. Some say it is classed as switch gear, i.e. removing the fuse cartridge is in effect a switch by then isolating the connected unit. The idea was to place the FCU higher up the wall and run...

Yep, fully RCD protected at the CU.

I’m in the process on renovating our bathroom and taking out the copper cylinder etc, well not me a plumber. At the back of the airing cupboard is an old 16amp immersion circuit that is no longer used. The immersion heater was removed when I installed the CH about 35 years ago. The outlet is...

I'm knocking my toilet and bathroom in to one room to create more space. The bathroom door and toilet door are at 90 degs to each other with the toilet door opening outwards on to the landing. Really naff layout and equally the toilet door is at an angle to the wall, naff builder. I will be...

Thanks for that, That will look much better. I have also heard people taking fine sandpaper and feathering the edge to nothing so the blend between the paper and the wall is less pronounced. So I think I will try your approach. Cheers

Hi I want to line a wall prior to painting as the wall has been previously papered and not good enough just to paint over. We have an opening into a garage conversion that does not have any architrave around it, so I have nothing to cut into. The garage room has been painted direct onto...

Definately S Plan. Two motorised valves. I installed the system myself about 25 years ago.

Have a strange situation with my central heating. I have an S plan system that has worked well for many years. Had new boiler installed about 14 months ago, Glow Worm with options board. Last week the boiler failed to light, but could hear the valves operating. My plumber did some prelim...

Drayton 3 wire brown/blue/ground Wire to junction box with brown connected to Motorized Valve Brown and Blue connected to Red Live Feed from Mains. There are other feeds on valve, but not sure what they do.

I put a meter across Brown and Blue and did not get a 240V, but Cylinder stat switches across brown and blue when testing continuity

Yes system programmer is in constant mode and cyclider stat turned up.

To confirm, System is S Type with 2 motorised valves. CH Side working OK Did a voltage check and I am not getting 240v across the Brown and Blue. Then turned off the power supply to boiler circuit and did continuity check across same wires to check thermosat switching. That worked OK. Bit...

Hi I noticed I wasn't getting hot water, so manually opened the motorised valve so would get flow when CH was on until I could get a new motor. I have a Honeywell metal motorised valve and replaced the syncronous motor with a universal Drayton motor. It fitted fine, but has not solved the...

Hi Breezer Thanks for you very prompt reply. I have just swapped the unit over and all seems well.

Hi I currently have a mechanical Honeywell T4160 Thermostat and would like to replace the unit with a digital thermostat a REV100. The current unit is wired as:- 2 - Single Black (Separate cable) 3 - one of a pair of red 1 - second of the pair of red Earth not used. I believe this...
