The current one has to be seen to be beleived-it must be late fifties-I can do you a photo if youre up for a giggle.Youll have to tell me how to upload it though. I had a guy round who wanted to put a Worcester in for £1300. (Being a Herefordian I am naturally averse to anything to do with...

Thanks :D

Dependant on the length of cable run and of course load,but for the accepted maximum of 12 lamps per breaker and a domestic residence situation, then 1.5 for the supply and 1.0 for the switching is fine. Identification is simple as you could easily tag each wire with written labels or...

Any recommendations/warnings on a manufacturer/model I am looking for a 75000-100000 floor standing unit to replace the current museum piece,which has sipped rather too much nectar in the last few months.

The valve should be able to take mains pressure by design.Even if it did start to fail,theyre cheap and easy to replace. Recently WCs have been equipped with internal overflows where excess fill is diverted into the siphon and down the pan.If this is the type you have then it should be ok but...

masona ,could you do a sticky ,if you have the time,with some drawings like that one showing basic roofing structures or point us with a link to some????

Going back to the breakers,is it allowed to have B's and Cs' on the same busbar?

if the installation was really "clever" you could then have a triple gang 2 way switch.Thats a red and black/red and a red ,blue and yellow (and the two earths of course) all triplicated So theres 21 wires to go into your 16mm box. Make sure its a cheap and nasty switch with small tunnels to...

Its preferred practice to use manifolds than bosses but at least its all sorted now!

whats the difference in single and double and where would you use each type ?

Just to put a fly in the chardonnay; Two (independant) people at work both curse their 240v setups and covet someone elses 12v systems. They both say the bulbs dont last very long. A visit to the lightbulb stand while shopping at Tescos the other day seemed to qualify this.The phillips brands...

I am having the roof done and would like to do away with the vent cowls that go up through the roof.The 110mm Air inlet valves would do this but do you have to still run the soil stack up into the loft or can you put them just above the uppermost boss?

Id better not divulge how I taped the trigger down and clamped the circular saw handle in the Workmate. Im still alive but if the H+S man had seen it he'd have killed me anyway.........

I cant speak for anyone else but I find them really good. Two things to watch make sure you have exactly the right size drill-buy a good quality one and use it only for the screwbolts.Bent or worn drills will enlarge the hole and reduce the grip. Also go deeper than you need.This allows the...

A 12 way split load rcd protected one woulud be good for most. You should put your garage supply on the rcd side of the box

A tester is a sample and as such has to be "of comparable standard" -take it back. I had some dulux""bathroom" grade made up the little oik obviosly got it wrong as it streamed down the tiles for months afterwards .

. :shock:

You could also use screwbolts (Screwfix call them "Multimonty") They are like giant self tapping screws for masonry -I have found them fantastic to use and they also wont crack the blocks and come loose because theres no expanding mechanism...

Thanks, ban. - thats fantastic.There is means of blanking the unused ports I take it? If its just a case of extra hard work then Ill go with the porch thing as a 6x6 hole is pretty insignificant in the overall scale of things on the agenda. Its just I didnt want the Supply company refusing to...

Ah! - Why indoors then? I would really like it all completely away from the building work which is pretty involved. Ive got a MEM switchfuse ready to go in. Ive also seen service blocks in scr***** cataloguge-how does the wiring get arranged ? theres a single pole and a double pole...
