Just a quick question, but when people talk about 4mm and 6mm wire for radial circuits for a cooker as I understand it they get those dimensions for the wire by measuring its height with the wire on its flat side?

A quick look in the electrolux website has shown the following: double under-oven output - 4.9-5.3kw hob which model I'm not 100% sure yet but as a rough guide - 8.1kw adding these together = 13.4kw calculating the ampage this would draw down: 13400/230= 74amps :shock: :shock...

on this very site http://www.diynot.com/pages/el/el027.php. 7.2kw = 7200 watts. UK voltage is 230V. 7200 / 230 = 31amps That would be about right. Granted that strictky 7kw would be the upper limit for a 30amp fuseway.

I've just learned that any cooker with a rating higher than 7.2Kw will require a 45 amp fuseway. :wink:

I currently have an electric hob (with a nice big crack right the way through it :lol: ) and a double electric under oven built in. Because of the cracked hob we're replacing the whole lot, hob and under oven. I'm asuming that it should be as simple to do as the steps below: 1. turn off...

We have a bay window at the front of our house with lead flashing which has started to weather a little bit. I've recently painted the house and was just wondering can you paint lead flashing with exterior masonry paint or not? Would it be an advisable thing to try?

Is this the kind of cleaning agent you're talking about?? CLICK LINKIE I have noticed the yellowing effect too on a frame in our bathroom in an ares of the frame. None of the other frames in the house show the yellow staining. Only this one part of this one frame, and I would like to get...

I'd be willing to give it a go

I have a time clock for my central heating which has a face divided up into sections which are half hour in duration. The central heating is a boiler that heats the water for radiators and hot taps and isn't a combi system. To set the heating to come on you have to pull the pin away from the...

I have a back boiler installed with a pump and a thermostat on the pipe which turns the pump on and off when the fire heats the water to the temperature set on the thermostat. Recently the pump hasn't come on when it should, ie when the pipe is warmer than the temperature set on the...

Is there a difference between the basic thermostat types and the more advanced, other than cost? I wouldn't be setting up different heating zones because the boiler and plumbing isn't set up for such a system so would it benefit me in any way to go for one of the more advanced dearer types of...

As far as I'm aware my boiler is not a combi boiler, will that make any difference in the type of thermostat I choose?

What about Danfoss as a company?

I'm in the market for a thermostat to be situated in the living room and I would like one that is wireless as it could turn out be rather messy with the installation of a wired one. The distance from thermostat to boiler would be no more than 15 metres and there would be 2 walls between the...

The tile is ceramic so as I thought a masonary bit will do the job. Thanks for the advice folks. Now all I have to worry about is hidden radiator pipes!!! :shock: :shock:

Any special precautions or special drill bits I need to use when drilling floor tiles in the bathroom? By round doorstop I mean the ones that look like one quarter of a sphere. Like the one in this...

I think I get what you're saying. :?

Thanks for the reply but I got the problem sorted by taking it slow and carefully now the problem has been sorted

I just noticed on a room papered yesterday that one of the peices where I cut the joint at the roof doesn't match up with the other piece. The paper has been on less than 24 hours. Is it possible to recut the joint so that it is in line with the other piece while it is still at this stage. I...

Does anyone know how to deal with wallpapering around an internal corner were the wall is off the square. If I match the new piece with the last piece put on so that there's no gap between the pieces then as the paper goes round the off square wall it will be off the square round the corner...
