Bugger it! I'm just gonna plug the cooker hood into an existing 3-pin socket with 3 amp fuse. That will be OK I assume? This will mean extending the cooker hood cable by a metre or so, losing a wall socket and stop the cooker hood and lights being on their own circuit. But it will save...

Could a junction box be used AFTER first light (top-left in Overhead Diagram), giving two outlets? One cable/outlet could feed the two 'linked' lights (top-right). A separate cable/outlet could feed the furthest light at bottom-right? All lights would then presumably come on when the...

One more thing I will add is that the 2 gang 13a socket will come straight from the CU via 16a MCB + 2.5t&e (radial circuit?). It will also be the only outlet on that circuit. This 2 gang socket will be installed with the intention of also using it with a small cooker hood if that is acceptable.

You beat me to it! ;)

Could a regular 3-pin plug not be used (fitted with a 5 amp fuse)?

OK, great stuff. I should have mentioned that the 'Power Supply' shown in the pic in the First Post, is a 2G 13a switched socket. Does that have any bearing on what has been suggested? Thanks

Earth?

Can't do that though as there is a window in between the upper-right and lower-right cupboards. So the only way the cable could be run is through the coving, if that is acceptable as there is no mains outlets at that end of the kitchen. The diagram was maybe a little too basic I suppose...

Thanks for the quick replies guys, but what is a 'CPC'?

Hey Guys I am thinking about having some fluorescent under-cupboard link lights installed around my kitchen, but need a bit of advice as the cupboards are a bit spread out. What is the maximum length of 0.75mm 2-core that can be used? If you look at the diagram below, you can see the...

Thanks for the advice Nige F, but I don't think I'd have enough microbore for two runs of pipe back to the manifold anyway (manifold is about 10 meters from radiator). When I said whole coil, earlier in the thread, well it was before the 'Last Job', but there's only about 10 metres left...

Great stuff! Thanks for all your advice and best wishes for 2013.

One more thing, Does it matter which way the equal tee joints are connected. Or does the the feed pipe need to enter the centre connection of the equal tee, so as to 'split' the hot water to the outlets on opposite ends of the coupling. Also do both return pipes need to enter the equal tee...

Great stuff! Thanks for that whitespirit66.

I was actually wondering about sleeving it to be honest, but didn't ask in case it was considered a dumb question. LOL Already got some microbore from a previous job (whole coil), but again, thanks for the advice, it is greatly appreciated. I've just ordered a RYOBI RP4030 Infrared...

Thanks Whitespirit66 Great, so it's considered OK to tee-off from an existing feed/return then? That's great. As the only way to the additional radiator will be to drill directly through the wall, is there a preferred method? Or is it just a case of drilling perhaps a 10mm hole and...

Existing radiator is 700x600mm 'Quinn Barlow - Q22706RT - Round Top' double convector, which has a BTU of 4462. New radiator will be 700x600mm 'Quinn Barlow - Q11706RT - Round Top' single convector, which has a BTU of 2474. Rear hall is quite small, being approx 3m x 1m, but has downstairs...

Hey guys First things first, Happy New Year to you all. What I'd like to know is whether it's possible to tee off from the feed and return pipes of an existing radiator and add an additional radiator? I'm guessing it's probably not advisable, but thought I'd better ask first. When...
