    Plywood floor before laying stick down planks

    Really sorry - loads of previous ply questions, but I can’t see an answer. I have joists 40cm apart, I want to lay ply, and am looking at 22-25mm ply, and then sealing and laying stick down planks, but: - softwood ply? - hardwood ply? - marine ply? - structural ply? Is any thick (22mm-25mm)...

    Outside Stop Cock

    Thanks. So a bit confused - I can only think it is this thing that feeds the building, but is it likely that this thing would do that. All the tool refers to hydrant and OP referred to hydrant?? Does anyone know whether this sort of thing has fed a building before?

    Outside Stop Cock

    Hi guys - I have one of those long rods with the curved hit which is useful to turn off a stop-clock outside the premises, but I’ve just come across one which is a 30mm square and would need a different tool - can someone tell me what tool I need and or give me a link to buy? Thank you

    What fuse for this appliance?

    Ok - that’s interesting. It’s a lifting station to pump water upwards about 3m - I put in a 3A fuse as I saw 640w as the power rating. It starts by water reaching a certain level inside - and looks like there’s a capacitor (haven’t opened it up), but looking at the parts on-line. It’s been...

    What fuse for this appliance?

    This is a Sololift c-3 pumping station, with 640w power, which I assume would take a 3A fuse. But just looking at the spec and it says Full Load Current is 3.1A? Does that m Ed n I should put in. 5A fuse and not a 3A?

    Trippin’

    So it’s been about a month ago and since I changed the switch it’s not tripped. It’s very likely to have tripped by now, I reckon, and so I think that it must be the switch. The old once had a neon light and the new one doesn’t. So I’m not sure if this has any relevance - ie could it be the...

    Changed switch about a week ago - no tripping yet, but early stages still. One thing I forgot to mention was the old switch had a light indicator when it was on. Not sure if this also could be causing the problem, so I replaced it with one with no LCD.

    Sorry - I wasn’t clear. When I said separate circuit I meant not ring - just a single spur feeding the boiler from an MCB at the CU. RCD is protecting a few circuits, but only trips, on occasion, when the switch to the boiler is turned on. Nothing else trips the RCD.

    Hmm - so interesting - I’ll definitely change the switch and then let you know what happens. Will be some time until I know as it’s often up to 20 days before anything happens. Thank you. At least worth a try before anything else.

    So we have heater —-> double pole switch —-> CU. I can only turn switch on and off.

    Definitely will get another switch though to see if that helps.

    Thank you. Ah I see - yes it is double poled - that’s interesting. I could try that. Just so I know how could that help?
