Contacted Arrow Valves... they suggest a £2400 BTHW 1 :LOL:

As I understand the cat 5 DC pipe interrupters are intended for open outlet applications ie urinals, otherwise the water would discharge out of the vent holes. Are there any inline fittings that are suitable or do you have to go down the AUK1 air gap route. The WRAS...

I've done the top half of the 1882 house in lime mortar (nhl3.5 and black sand) and now need to patch a few bits in the bottom half. Can't figure out what's been used as it's hard (like cement mortar) but has a creamy/pale surface but it's black underneath. Anyone got suggestions on how I get a...

I have an Alpha 200 Stratum ( Siemens) split load consumer unit with Siemens mcb's/RCCB from early 2000's. The 80A 30 RCCB 3SM3317-0 is burning when the 10Kw leccy shower is on. I've found an identical used replacement for the RCCB off fleabay 'cos I refuse to pay £250 for an equivalent...

My favourite 18/8 stainless pan almost parted company with it's handle yesterday when the top 2 of the 4 spot welds came away. Luckily I spotted it before attempting to carry the boiling pan of spuds to the sink. Can't get it spot welded locally but there seems to be some highly rated...

1882 property, original soil stack, top 3/4 is cast iron and pings when you tap it, lower 1/4 is unknown... grey finish and much duller sound when tapped. Anyone identify what it could be ?

6 years old, never touched as always fully open until the missus had a tweak and chucked out some black ( the o-ring perishing) and now weeps. There's no nut to tighten as it has a circlip so looks like a partial drain to sort it out. Anyone know what size o ring ? Retail is £39 a pair...

Son's bought a standard 3 bed terrace with a loft conversion which has 4th bedroom and ensuite shower running off the boiler. Fully double glazed so heating is not an issue. Currently has a Baxi duo-tec 24Kw which spec says will deliver 9.8l/min.. confirmed by filling a 9.5L bowl downstairs in...

It's been suggested I use the following mix to re-point the side of a 1882 stone built house. 1 x 3.5 Hydraulic lime 5 crushed dust ( Travis Perkins) 2.5 black sand (aka Bowland Stone mortar) I've seen local walls done in mortar and it's very dark when it goes on and lightens over time. Does the...

Found time to investigate. Loud bang from the pond area when power was restored and the RCCB tripped as before. Took the cover off the uv box, nothing untoward and nice and dry. Reset power and the bang was from the switch box. Removed the cover and the neon indicator was no more and lots of...

I do indeed believe it's external wring /JB's to be the cause. I'm not sure the model I have so the pump draws either 5,12 or 21W. The UV lamp is around 5W.

Thanks. I have a spare 5A MCB in the CU that was intended for an additional lighting circuit that we won't be needing. It's quite a run from the CU to the current fused spur connection so another RCCB would be easier. Would a 10mA Rated residual current device not always trip before a 30mA ...

We have 4 circuits with MCB's protected by a Siemens 80A 5 SM3 317-0 RCCB with 30mA rated residual current. Came back from holiday last year to a defrosted freezer and a tripped RCCB. Never found the source and it never re-occurred... until now. After torrential downpours it tripped again. I...

I've dug out the old railing stubs which were set in lead. I need advice on which adhesive to use to fix the 20mm round bar into the holes in the stone The holes are approx 25mm across and 25mm deep.

It's a split board as only the ringmain went off, lights stayed on. I think Sparks No1 couldn't get a RCBO so advised another unit outside the CU.I didn't see Sparks No2 with anything, but have to assume from his comments he put the upstairs lighting onto an RCD of some sort which tripped. The...

http://home2.btconnect.com/dublydublydubly/PhotoAlbums/album_1332184873 So upstairs lights were on 3rd breaker from the left, 4th is a spare for future. Covers 2 upper floors into the eaves, so no loft. All worked fine. Sparks No1 ( subbed by builder) insists he won't sign it off without the...

Sparks fitting new fire-rated downlights in bathroom and the 2nd sparks instead of grabbing the new loop cable, he grabs the new cable to the shaver point and wonders why one of the downlights is permanently on ! So we sort that, and now when 2nd Sparks connects the new downlights and the...
