But is it safe extension lead in the kitchen for toaster, kettle and microwave?

No sign of burns on sockets or spurs or anywhere. I think it's got to be the extension lead tripping the MCB. They have 3 appliances and 2 sockets.

Don't know where noise from but guess from the MCB, all sockets are working. No black marks on sockets or spurs. Yes all reset and working MCB are 32A

Hi I rent a flat, had a call from tenants for loud noise and MCB trip in the kitchen. It is a small kitchen with 2 double sockets and 2 switched fused spurs. I checked the fuses in the spur, all good, wall sockets are working fine. However, there is an extension lead in the kitchen powering 3...

Can you mix brands of same frequency? For example, switch transmitter from Quinitec and receiver from an ebay Chinese import, both operate at 433 MHZ. Or is it a silly question :rolleyes: I understand you have to pair them, if you do per receiver set up instructions then should work, no? Just...

Hi I have a small partition wall of 810mm wide and about 2400mm from floor to ceiling. I identified screws locations using magnet, pls see photo attached. The distance between column 1 and 2 is about 350mm. 1. Can I assume there are 2 vertical studs? 2. Is there any horizontal studs, where? TIA

Yes I think it should work, it's less than 3m distance and plasterboard.

Will it work if switch on first floor bedroom and receiver in the loft, ie: plasterboard ceiling in between?

That's what it says on tlc-diect.co.uk website for all Quinetec products. Enocean use different frequency 2.44 GHZ.

Why Quinetecs are "not for sale to Germany"? Do you have to pair switch & receiver every time mains is turned off?

Hi I used one of these Quinetec (not for sale in Germany) light switches in 2020 when I changed a door opening, these were easy to install no wiring or battery required, look smart, after 4 years still working very happy with it. Now selling on ebay similar unbranded and obviously much cheaper...

That's what I just said pre your post. Rad is not mounted yet.

I think better option is to remove valves, cut both pipes to half way short, hang rad higher than the 15mm pipes by about 40-80 mm and plumb new pipes to rad. I can leave the pipe on the left as it and plumb the other as can't be seen behind wall hang vanity unity.

I have a problem, although I bought same pipe spacing rad as per tape measurements, they don't fit, out by 5mm, pls see pics. The 15mm copper pipes won't budge buried in concrete floor. What are the options?

I managed to cut the brackets with clean perfect finish , remembered I had adjustable metal pipe cutter in the garage.

I don't have a dremel, time to get a cheap Titan from SF. What type of drill bit, metal or wood or masonry? I was thinking to try with heated nail to pierce thru? The pipe work is quite sturdy buried in concrete floor. I think I can find one stud to fix 2 brackets on. Cheers

Hi I am installing a towel rad, the pipes are already there ready and valve fitted, pls see pics. I have fitted required parts to the rad, pls see pics. I have looked on you tube but all in all vids they first fit the rad on the wall then do the piping which don't apply to me. I bought rad with...
