That would be a logically step, regretfully as an electrician we can one remark and advise. Where a gas engineer can cap off. But in the case of reterminating a circuit to a new DB, that could cause a hazard, I am sure I would not regardless of the what the client requests, I am sure H&S and...

I would have thought if the circuit visual condition and tests, suggest that circuit is unsafe to put back in to service, that the logical a correct process would be not to reinstate it. But would this also allow the exclusion of RCD protection on socket outlets and cable buried in walls (as...

Thanks EFLI

Thanks John, I have been very busy last few months.

Should be fine, with good quality bits

PS Happy New Year, y'all!

Been to a job today, asked to install UFH. I needed to get a feed from somewhere, so asked property owner where Fuse board was? The property has a very recently installed CU (jan 2018), but noticed that two socket circuits not covered by RCD and a lighting circuit also not protected. So was...

You will need to get a rad that is sized correctly, to connect the tails to, pipes a bit messy but easy enough to connect to.

701.32.1 says consideration should be made, in such instances. A bit of common needs to be applied. Would a shower tray or bathtub at a distance of 1.25m from the ceiling height be considered logically positioned in a usable place?

Given the nature of your reply, I doubt it is.

Oh dear that sounds like you are asking for help, with the intent to break the law:evil:

It is possible, but you have to drain the radiator down that new valves are being connected to and pipework above the radiator. Shut all valves on rads above the tails you are working on, then those rads will not drain down. That is providing the exiting valves do close. Remember to turn boiler...

You can take the feed from anywhere on the circuit providing you have a perm live, neutral and earth present. As the location is a bathroom, the cable if buried and the shaver point will require RCD protection. And if work is carried out in a bathroom zone, you will need to apply to building...

The olives an be removed, either using a olive pulling tool of cutting across olive with hacksaw then it can be split and nut/olive removed.

Is it not possible to remove existing rad valves, pull the olives if required and just fit like for like. Do not understand why you are wanting to extend existing tails. I understand that there may be offset differently from wall, if so you will have to do some alterations to pipe and that is...

Neutrals are not switch lines. And do not think if you have a black or blue cable present at switch it is a neutral. Picture of your wiring may help to establish what you have.

They are safe to use and should not trouble the warranty.

As it is for use of a BC lamp, it has no polarity bias. If it were an ES lamp than it would need to have correct polarity.
