    LLH required?

    Out of interest, why woudl I need to fit TRVs if each room (Zone) is on a 2 port and each has a thermostat? Just looked at the Honeywell eco (is thtis what's meant by programable trvs) and it's a good halfway house between full zoning and trvs, it seems...and on 'normal' pipework...anyone...

    LLH required?

    So I was thinking of zoning pretty much each room to give me a fully tailorable heating system future proofed and hopefully as economical as possible. Boiler is on middle floor, ground floor is 4 rooms, middle floor 3 beds two baths and top floor 2 beds. The idea was: Flow and return pipes...

    telford cylinder...

    well spoke to Telford and they just said yep, 3/4" female thread...when I queried the fact that all the literature and online specs said 22mm cold feed, HW draw and coil he just said well, that's what we fit... So now need to check the internal dia of a male 3/4" fitting.... If that was...

    telford cylinder...

    Thanks but know what a thread is ;-) the ribbed inner bore is of the coil, it's not a smooth internal pipe, but a corragated pipe, like a flexipipe...just wondered if this was normal or a high gain coil... The thread will be a 3/4 bsp as inch is about 33mm major diameter (so wouldn't...

    telford cylinder...

    inside coil return...ribbed tube - high gain coil?? cylinder... 22 to 15mm reducer in the coil tube...yes i was VERY carefull not to knock it in!! The DHW draw has a decent tube length... ...the rest are around 5 to 6 mm - not enough to get a compression fitting onto...

    telford cylinder...

    So just taken delivery of my telford tempest cylinder and it's supposed to have 22mm compression fittings...but there's only 5mm of pipe sticking out of the cylinder and the O/D is 28mm! same for the coil and cold feed and DHW draw off...the inside is threaded but still doesn't seem quite right...

    EFL and BAS, you are right...it does say there are alternative ways to comply with the building regs and it says *should* comply, not needs to comply. But as the post above suggests, there's got to be a boomin good argument NOT to follow the British standard or the iee regulations, surely...

    P.S. is s sub main after the first isolator considdered a CU? My existing ground floor CU is now a sub main and the existing upper floor circuits now terminate in a new submain upstairs. Same 'circuit' but with new wire and faceplates and new RCBOs....

    Part P notification from April 2013

    Exactly...I've got a cooker 'circuit' in my house. no idea where the end of the cable goes - certainly no 45amp cooker outlet in my kitchen. As the cable is there and the MCB is there, there's nothing stopping me replacing the cable with new into the location I want, replace the 'missing' 45amp...
