Thanks Ian. Appreciate the time. The issue then is that the Hive comes with its own wall mounted stat that will be going there. But as it's wireless it doesn't have a backing plate with terminals. What I have done is tape the two browns together and the heating has come back on. The only blue...

I took photographs of everything before starting, bar the stat. So join the browns using isolation tape or terminal block?

Hi mate, Thanks for the response. After some studying I gathered he was using links (I'm not a spark) and was able to get the receiver installed as there was no need for them in the new receiver. I have the water heating working. However, the one remaining issue I have is that the heating...

Hi guys, I've decided to replace my old EPH T27 dual zone (water and heating) programmer for a Hive receiver and would appreciate help with the wiring. I have attached 3 images, 2 showing the current wiring of the T27 and what was noted on the casing and the 3rd is the new Hive receiver...

Just an update mate, Plastering is now done. I changed the tails for copper as per your suggestions and opted to leave the Hep elbows exposed, for no other reason than in case the plaster setting disrupted the seal in any way. After all, if they are going to be tiled over, they are still...

Trying to be fancy No, not really. I was just concerned about plaster reacting with the pipe. But I can take it off if you think it wouldn't make any difference? I plan to tile the shower walls so yeah I would be tiling over the pipes. Are you saying don't plaster over the pipes and elbow or...

Hi mate, just wanted to update you. Good news is, I didn't flood the house! Walls chased, pipework done, pipes covered (just to be sure to be sure plaster doesn't cause any issues), and I am now just waiting on the plasterer. He was to come today but I had a leak last night due to being tired...

Well the elbows will be buried which is a concern for me but given I wouldn’t risk attempting to weld copper it’s my only option at this late stage.

Thanks for everything. Tomorrow’s D Day so I’ll let ya know how it turns out. If I don’t reply in 48 hours it’s because I’ve flooded the house

There is a small landing that leads into the hot press. I I believe the pipes for the shower run under this part of the landing. What I was thinking of doing is cut a section of floorboard and get access to the pipes and to add a coupler to both and do away with the isolation valve that exists...

This is a downstairs wet room so the pipes come down from between the floor boards and ceiling.

Great info, thanks. One last thing, I have a plasterer arranged for Wednesday so I need to have the trace done and pipework sorted tomorrow. Where would I locate the shut-off valves?

Smashing! Thanks. One last question regarding re 'chasing'. My plan is to cut the outline with a grinder and then use brute force and ignorance with the help of a hammer and bolster to knock the block out. I'm not afraid of hard work but would an easier option be to use an SDS? I'm looking at...

Thanks for the response mate. Regarding the ceiling, I'll have a plasterer take a look at it and see what he thinks.

Hey mate, thanks for the reply. You may not believe me but that was one of the ideas I had but I wasn't sure if slightly bending the plastic pipe in a wall was acceptable or not. I'm trying to be all pro, ya know! Followup question for ya - if I may? Can I bury the plastic pipes if I lag...

Hi guys, Question for you experts out there. I am seeking to trace this wall to bury the pipes for a shower but have hit a snag. The picture I uploaded shows the centre line (red) and green lines show roughly where the pipes need to come down. The left pipe however can't come over anymore...

I 'm thinking about something like this? Thing is it's 160mm in diameter which is almost half an inch larger than the hose. So how would it fit...

Hi there, thanks for the reply. Here is the unit.

Hi mate, It's a "Meaco MeacoCool MC Series 8,000R".

Thanks for the info. What would I then connect the a/c flexi hose to to go through the wall? I have seen them taped to a piece of pipe.
