Would you care to tell what the harm would be? I have 15mm drops from upstairs with 2 rads on each, all of which have to come off for either repositioning or painting behind in the next few months, but not all at once. To be able to valve off each drop one at a time would save me time and...

I have ongoing work in several rooms in my house involving radiators coming off or moving, I would like to be able to fit some service valves in the 15mm legs to rads so I can shut off & drain just a small part of the system. Can anyone recommend suitable valves for CH pipework that are not...

Looks nice RF, gives me food for thought.

Yes you are both right, MK grid switches would seem the reasonable way without the clutter of many switches spaced along the worktop. Thanks again.

Thanks Chri5, I think conduit reminds me of my past too much, would like to steer clear of that if I can. The 2 CU's I have are up to 17th so I dont have a problem with RCD's or not and I have enough spare ways on both I think, though the list is getting longer ;-) I had planned for an...

As a retired industrial sparks and it has been 30+yrs since I wired a kitchen things have changed a great deal since then, but I have this nice new shell of a kitchen and want to get the supply cables drawn in from the CU in the next couple of weeks even though I will not be doing the final...

Thanks Jason, I have several other Stanley levels and they all seem to be able to be used inverted, so I assumed I could do the same with the Betts one. Seems not. I can use the betts non inverted but it just seemed easier on me to look from below rather than squint at the side of the level. I...

My Betts eurobox 36" level has not been mistreated and when tested appears to read level in normal use but for some reason I cant think of when used inverted to check ceiling runout its well out of calibration. How can this be? its just a straight vial filled with liquid and a bubble, if it...

He removed a couple of blocks from left and right and cleared out the 2 unused bricks that had been left in there then filled the void with a roll of fibre insulation. To fill it with celotex would have meant removing the whole row of blocks, the BCO suggested the loose fill would be ok. All...
