Hi all, I have 6mm T&E cable going to 6mm SWA. I was going to connect them with Wago connectors. One site (TLC Direct) says Wago 773-173 Push Wire Connector 2.5mm - 6.0mm which makes sense but another site (Toolstation) says I can use Wago 221 Compact Lever Connectors 0.5 to 6mm² but on TLC...

It is for a hot tub, the solid type not the inflatable type

Hi all, looking to install a concrete pad approx 2m x 2m on slightly sloping ground. Can anyone advise how deep I will need to go, thickness of the base etc. I will undoubtedly have a few other questions but I need a starting point please. Regards Al

Hi there, I have a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 24i junior combi boiler. We recently had a leak on one of the rads in the house and I soaked up at least 4lt of water. This was about 4 days ago. Everything was till tonight when the boiler stopped working (typically a Friday night). I tried to top up...

No, but i guess I should have done....hindsight is a great thing...:-)

Hi all, we have just bought a new place and the water pressure/flow rate out the hot taps is very low. There is a Condensing Combi boiler, Worcester Greenstar 28i Junior that is in the loft. So there is a ground floor and a first floor in the house and then above that is the loft. I have had...

Hi all, I am putting in a new gate which is between 2 brick built posts. Neither of the posts have been built vertical so there is a bigger gap at the bottom than the top if the gate is vertical. The gate will be supported by 2 wooden post fixed to the either brick post. Question is.... should...

Hi, I am putting plastic pipes in the wall for CH. (please I don't want the discussion about plastic v copper). The pipes are going in, but along a plasterboard horizontally. (not a stud wall, plasterboard stuck to external wall.) Problem is that when going along the wall I came across a cable...

thanks Ian, I think I have enough info to give it a go now.

thanks for your help. I suppose the expansion tank is designed for .......the expansion

I guess you mean before the first radiator. I was just worried about the pressure with expansion in the CH side which I am assuming is why you have said "cut the flow and return CH pipes as far away from the boiler as you can"

Hi, I have a Vaillant TurboMax Combi Boiler. I am wanting to replace all the radiators in the house and will not be able to complete the work in one day, but wish to isolate the CH so I can still have DHW. Can I run the boiler with the CH system drained or is there a valve I can close to...

Hi all, I want to fit downlighters. The box says to cut 84mm holes but I only have an 86mm cutter. Should this be ok. I don't really want to buy a new cutter for 3 holes. thanks in advance Al

Hi, when testing the cable to the light I noticed that it had 240V when the switch was on and 57V when the switch was off. I done some research and further testing. The voltage is between line L & N and also between L & G. nothing between N & G. I also tried my neon screwdriver and that...

Hi all, I am in the process of fitting an extractor fan in the bathroom which was previously fully tiled, including over the air brick, so no ventilation or extraction. I intend to vent the extractor through the cavity of the air brick (rectangular) but was looking for some advice as to if...

Sure, the stuff is quality, but at then end of the day it is a toilet cistern and why pay £30 when I can get the same/better(dual flush) for £10 if indeed the Generic one fits.

Hi, I have a Roca Cistern but the flush mechanism has broke (the bell shaped plastic which pulls up the valve). Does a generic flush valve fit as a replacement as I don't require it to be Roca unless that is the only one that fits. If so can you advise an alternative. I would like one with...

All sorted now. Thanks for all who replied. Just for the record it was the PRV Regards alig

But that is what the pressure needs to be , Surely if I put in more air increasing the pressure then it will force the water out so leaving the correct amount in the PV
