Yeah I'm going to call them today. I reset the PIR last night and no difference. If this PIR is not suitable for low load. What other options do I have??

In an ideal world you would connect the ends of all the cat5 cables to a patch panel in a cabinet. Then you would connect these via patch cables to a switch. But just connecting the ends to a switch is fine. What sort of switch depends on what plans there are to expand, current budget and...

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering about the minimum load, but assumed it was ok with it not being mentioned in the instruction manual. It has been running fine for over a year BUT I have only recently swapped to LEDs from CFLs which were 4 11w bulbs. So you could be correct. I havn't...

oops sorry :oops:

Hope you don't mind me barging in on your post. My existing PIR looks as though it's going faulty. Started switching itself on/off randomly. So have been looking to get a better quality one. I currently have this one from screwfix...

The Superquilt looks easier to put up and the cost is around the same as Celotex or Kingspan boards. What I can't work out is which provides the best insulation! As I can't find any data where the two are compared or use the same values. It doesn't look like a dodgy product though. The...

I have seen some 100mm screws that I might get away with. Or... I could add some 50mm joists to the ceiling fill in between with insulation board and the plasterboard over that. Quite a bit more work with that method. Thanks for your help.

So it would look like this: _____________________ BEDROOM Floor |xxxxxxx|xxxxxxx|xxxxxxx| Joist with 150mm wool insulation ================== 50mm Insulation board --------------------------------- 12.5mm Plasterboard So you would nail/screw the plasterboard through the...

Hi, A previous owner extended our house and put an extra bedroom over the garage (around 15 years ago). The problem I have is that this bedroom is the coldest room in the house. When we moved in we put a new central heating system in including radiators so the rad should be the right...

gas112: Sorry forgot to reply and say thanks for the advice. I did contact Baxi about this and they confirm exactly what you have said. But you were quicker at replying :D

As I mentioned in this post http://www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/fitting-honeywell-cmt927-thermostat-to-baxi-duotec-40he.295862/#ixzz1cdSgXkFl, we have a Towerstat plug-in wireless receiver that fits in the mechanical timer slot of out Baxi Duo-Tec 40HE boiler. I am in the process of...

As I mentioned in the first post, we have a Towerstat plug-in wireless receiver that fits in the mechanical timer slot of the boiler. When I take this out and wire in the Honeywell what do I do with the wires that did go into the old Towerstat plug-in receiver? Also there will be no cover...

Cheers. I hoped it would be that simple.

Thanks for your reply mikely but the original Towerstat receiver is not wired into the boiler. Its the plug-in one that fits in the mechanical clock slot (which is the main reason I bought the towerstat as no wiring was required). The boiler instructions shows the following schematics:

Hi, We have had a Towerstat RF/BMs but we are now on our third one in two years as they keep failing in October!?!?!?. I have had enough of them and have decided to fit a Honeywell CMT927 wireless thermostat to our Baxi Duo-Tec 40HE-A. I am after a bit of advice on how to wire the...

Thanks for confirming that for me :oops:

This is a really embarassing question that I should know the answer to but I am having a 'duh' day. I have a washing machine tee valve like this...

dextrous: Thanks for the link. I have the normal silver Duck Duct tape is the Power tape much better, it sounds as though it is more waterproof? holty: Hopefully I won't get any rain ingress as I have a mushroom on the top on the soil pipe. As for condensation, what will be the cause of this...

Hi, I want to connect my bathroom extractor to an unused soil vent ont the roof. I have seen several posts on this forum regarding this and have not found quite what I am looking for. I have a Vent-Axia Vent-A-Light which is 100mm. The soil stack is 110mm. So how to I connect the two...

Thanks for the replies. The soffit I need to cut into is timber so I'm OK, no asbestos. It looks as though the PIR I have chosen or even the 140 degree version will be ok. But what about the downlighters? Do I need IP65/shower rated ones? Are these new GU10 LED and energy saver bulbs...
