Hi all, Ive posted this in the plumbing forum but have had no luck - Anyone used one of these vents to vent a soil pipe? If so what do you think? Will it work well with a marley modern? Cheers http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=79071&ts=15051

Thanks again noseall, yes its the window boards, think i'll dot and dab first then, it should be easier, then attach the boards and get the plasterer to skim them in. Cheers! P.S. Noseall i could do with you being my personal advisor on my build as your a bag of knowledge!!!

Thanks noseall, Is that 600mm above or 600mm away? and is that measure ment from the opening in the window?

Hello all, Whats the regs for distance from and or above windows for a soil pipe vent? Cheers

Thanks spark, I'll go for the 2.5mm ring then, that should keep us all happy! BTW yes building control are informed. Cheers

I have an upstairs ring, and a downstairs ring. I am also planning on having a kitchen ring powering - oven, fridge, washer, cooker hood and dish washer. It will be difficult to run a return the the CU. Can i be lazy and wire this circuit as a radial (wired in 2.5mm with a 20A MCB i think?)...

Hi all, Dreaded downlights. Im struggling to not use junction boxes in the ceiling void. The only solution i can find is to have a "loose" junction box in the space and pull it out through a down light hole. The other solution would be to permenatly join the cables - maybe crimping them, but...

The most lights in one room will be 6 with around 1 meter of cable inbetween lights, the lighting circuit is currently in 1.5mm will it be safe to drop to 1mm for the lighting "daisy chain"?
