Thanks for the continued input. Gteuk, just a burglar alarm however am now thinking of making that an unswitched FCU to avoid it being turned off unintentionally. Feed to a switched FCU to act as switch for the light but alarm cab be isolated if need be for work. Rgds FF

Doh - just use the FCU as a switch then. Simples ! Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply b-a-s's Second option then - at least there will be a light source for working on the alarm For the sake of asking could the Light be fed from the "Supply" side of the existing FCU but effectually making a direct connection the the ring with no protection other than...

Quick follow up for the record.... Taking Foxholes suggestion I got hold of a new Gun and some Insta Stick Foam adhesive. Tried a small sample overnight to see how it worked and how much expansion there was – looked good and as mentioned little expansion compared to “Expanding Foam”. Went...

Quick query please guys... I have a Spur coming off a Ring Main (Junction Box). This supplies a Switched, fused connection Unit which itself supplies a Alarm panel under some stairs. I'm wanting to put a light source (2ft 18W Tube) in there with this Spur being the only real option. Can I tag...

Thanks again for the input guys – appreciated. Fox – I think I'm leaning towards trying the foam option for the middle/bottom as the skirting is profiled on the back for cable runs but run some grab adhesive (not Gripfill Yellow !) along the top edge to seal/fill there - going to be the more...

Thanks Fox Does the “Fixing” foam have less expansion properties than other "Expanding" foam or is it pretty generic – might just be wary of it expanding a bit too much and pushing the skirting away as this seems to be pretty flexible. I should perhaps try with a couple of sample pieces so see...

Hi Guys Many thanks for the input.... I went with Gripfill Yellow after looking at various adhesive related posts on the likes of here – quite a minefield of instant grip stuff out there but maybe the wrong choice ? From memory there is a batch code on the tube but no clear manufacture or...

Hi All, Not sure if this would be best here or in “Decorating” but any insight/help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance .... We have had a new conservatory added – Quick Step laminate flooring has gone down in there and we have matching Quick Step Parquet Skirting (77x14mm) to go with...

Thanks Old. I'll put a separate single box (saves messing with the 47mm one already done !) next to it feed with 2.5 T&E and onward to a hidden/stealth socket as below. Just for confirmation how many sockets can go on the spur from that Fused Socket albeit limited to 13A ? Thanks again guys...

Hi Winston, ?? Low voltage 12v dimmable lights on a Varilight LT YT105 transformer and a Varilight Pro dimmer ? Rgds Freddy

Morning, Thanks for the reply Oldbnd. Yes on the downstairs ring so not a spur. When purchased with the exception of the kitchen all sockets were on one ring and nearly all single. We have converted most and added additional double sockets in all rooms rooms but upstairs is now a new circuit...

Hi All, About to start looking for info but quick query please on location of a fused spur or single socket for use as a connection for a couple of fire surround downlights.... ..looking to add two low voltage down lights to a timber fire surround. I have a one single socket on downstairs...

Long day, yes - manifolds to be removed ! I could extend the 22mm or just go 15mm where the current 22mm feed/return meets the manifold. I have just one small radiator that may need to stay micro due to access behind fitted cupboards but I would hope that could t-off new 15mm ? MTIA Freddy.

Thanks for the input - perhaps I wasn't too clear as thoughts would be to remove all pipework from manifold (it's 22mm to/from manifold) and replace with 15mm. Freddy.

Hi All, Thanks in advance for your time...any input would be appreciated, Our house currently has an Independent C30 Combi feeding 8 radiators (4 down, 4 up) – concrete base so all off downstairs fed by droppers. Feed and return from/to Boiler is 22mm is via two “manifolds” upstairs that have...

Realise this is an old thread I started last year but whilst browsing the forum recently thought I would just at least close the case for the benefit of anybody in the future who comes across it... There was a "Security Housing" surrounding the basic cylinder - quite a hefty two part casting...

Thanks for the reply - yup; with, without, jiggled and jiggled some more with no luck. I loosened some of the adjacent fixing screws/bolts to give a little more movement to the actual "lock frame" in case something was just catching but I've struggled to slide it out. As there is really...

Hi all I've been trying to help a friend in changing her basic Euro Cylinder to a more secure Anti Snap variants. The front door no problem - old one out; new one in. The back door I'm struggging with. Removed the Cylinder locking screw but something is stopping the cylinder sliding...
