    Loft Light Installation - Circuit Cable Hunting

    So it's basically like how double pole cooker switch would be wired? This is the part that confuses me because I'm thinking you mean the little connecting blocks used in small lamps etc, but you mean the terminals inside the corded pull switch right?? If so,then I think I know exactly what...

    Loft Light Installation - Circuit Cable Hunting

    Hi PrenticeBoyOfPerry, It'll be easier to quote back so you know what I'm replying to. It doesn't include this no, but my motto is: As long as the bulb lights up, it's working no matter what way it's done :mrgreen:. Ok, seriously, if an inspection is necessary, I can get the work...

    Loft Light Installation - Circuit Cable Hunting

    Hi, I need some advice please. I plan on installing a simple light fitting in my loft space which will use a "pull cord light switch". I do have some basic wiring experience and plenty of reference books with one of them dating back to the early 70s!!! Also, I'm very thorough, so I'm...

    Square Drainage Adaptor 65mm To Round 40mm pipe?

    But since the house was built (1920s), the kitchen waste water has always gone into the bath/ bathroom sink and rainwater drain?? They're linked together and would have been done by the local council. There's a big cast iron down pipe with a hopper above it where the bathroom water goes and then...

    Square Drainage Adaptor 65mm To Round 40mm pipe?

    Sorry I don't get what you mean, I'm getting a 68mm to 50mm adapter and then I will get a bit of pipe (50mm) and then on the end of that I will get an adapter so I can put the 40mm waste pipe on the end of that and go from there. Would this not work? EDIT: Ok I think I get you, you mean...

    Square Drainage Adaptor 65mm To Round 40mm pipe?

    I see from another site someone said: "Unfortunately, because rainwater and waste pipes serve different purposes, and most people are in the position where they should not be connecting waste and rainwater pipes, I doubt whether any manufacturer makes a fitting for this purpose." Source...

    Square Drainage Adaptor 65mm To Round 40mm pipe?

    Hi there, I'd be really grateful if someone could advise the best way to connect this: to an existing round 40mm PVC waste pipe? I know I need an adapter (squareline to roundline) such as this: but the problem is as you can see, the round outlet is still too big to connect to...

    Is It Possible Replacement Keys For Existing Mortice Lock?

    What I'll do is I'll ask Banham when the 67mm will be back in stock, otherwise I'll order the other one. Thanks for your help and this time, I'm not letting anyone else have the key! :mrgreen:

    Is It Possible Replacement Keys For Existing Mortice Lock?

    Hi, thanks for that recommendation, but it's such a lot of money. I was hoping to spend maximum of around £30. I'll try to get a similar model off ebay to the same specs. Thank you EDIT...

    Is It Possible Replacement Keys For Existing Mortice Lock?

    Yeah, having thought thought about it, I think getting a 5 lever would be the best option too. As long as I can get the same size as the other one because if it doesn't quite fit, it's going to involve messing about and I hate changing locks! So i suppose I need to look for a 65mm for it to fit...

    Is It Possible Replacement Keys For Existing Mortice Lock?

    Hi Chaps, Just a quick question: Keys for my backdoor became lost so I ended up having to pick it to get it open. Thing is, is it possible to get replacement keys for it rather than replace the whole lock? It's a 3 lever 65mm mortice lock by the way. It's not that I'm being tight by not...

    Help Designing a Wiring System

    Forgot to ask, so you're saying max cable length in 2.5mm is 106 meters and 45 meters as a radial or do you mean this is the floor area? Also, when calculating, is it best to use cable length as a guide or floor area? Cheers and sorry i ask lots of questions! :oops:

    Help Designing a Wiring System

    I agree it's no good telling Ryan the answers without him knowing why you've given that answer; hence why elaboration on the subject is always important until the student fully comprehends and is able to give his own answers based on what he has learned. Bear in mind though, just because a...

    Fire Hazard? 2.5mm 20A Cable Changing To 4mm 25A Cable

    This may sound strange to you but that's what I wanted you to say. I knew that diagram 2 was wrong when I made it but I wanted to make 100% sure that it was wrong by having it confirmed. I think it's mainly because I've always been taught that electrics are dangerous so I'm extra careful about...

    Fire Hazard? 2.5mm 20A Cable Changing To 4mm 25A Cable

    No no they are not the same. The first diagram shows the 2 rads drawing 5KW in total and the current is only flowing through the 4mm cable, not the 2.5mm cable hence why it's shown in black. The second diagram shows the 2 rads drawing 5KW in total and the current is flowing through the 4mm...
