theres also conduit glue which will seal any joins between conduit and connectors

whilst finding your description a bit hard to undersatnd exactly what your planning on doing, ie what u mean by extension cable? it all sounds ok. personally id use a switch spur up top, blank the existing socket and put a new one near DW. Use 30A connectors to connect new cable to cable in...

a 60A RCD will suffice. if the marquee company are providing a 30A RCD distribution system it will prob need its own 32A supply USING 6mm CABLE. For the other sockets - unless u can clip the cable along a wall you will need to use 2.5 SWA on 32A breakers, if you are willing to pay for the...

HEY ALL, thanks for the replies. The cylinder stat was wired to nowhere! moved it to feed the boiler and pump, job done. was wired wrong to begin with!!

or use some silicon around the back of the box where the screws go through and around the conduit joint. i would use 1 junction box up high, using a conduit stop end to cover the hole where the wire comes through, just drill a hole in the back of it and start the conduit from there.

you need to use a lockin nut to secure the conduit to the junction box. drill a 20mm hole and the lockin nut will slide through the hole. it will just slot over the end of conduit nicely (they are designed for each other just ask for them at suppliers!). MY ADVICE HERE WOULD BE: put another...

iv always used a compression gland on the end of conduit with flex running from the light to the junction box (assuming there is a junction box somewhere - usually outside the house where u have the cables going through the wall). try and have the conduit going down/across if possible to ensure...

yeah the old wiring will need to go, or at least have the supply cut to it. As the socket will prob be on a ring an electrician should be able to re-route the power around the new ensuite quite easy. the shower however will prob use a 10mm cable, not 2.5mm like the sockets, and also the...

bump

that case just a 16A supply or 32A if on ring with 2.5t+e. cant really help u with the labels, sounds a bit much, but it def doesn't need a 45A supply! ;)

the actual oven will run of a 16amp breaker (32A if on ring) on 2.5 cable however the hobs will require a 6mm cable. 32A is plenty for the hobs, even if it says more!!! if its a combi system then use 6mm on a 32A breaker

hey all thanks for your replys, if u could look at post in plumbing area with same topic title there's a bit more information thanks

no problem at all

what do u mean by circuit switched off? actually switched off the MCB or just switched the lights off? could be transformers if your using 12v lights, could be smoke alarms if on same circuit, same again with bathroom/kitchen fans

so at the CU is there not a neutral wire for the upstairs lighting?

lol you could run it under the sink if u wanted!! personally that way seems like a bit of hard work, can you not come down from right above where you want them to go? also trunking would be better to use and looks better in houses, it doesnt need to be 'watertight' just make sure theres no cable...

the new regs only apply to new builds or major refurbs. the new regs state there is no need for conduit for wires buried 3.5cm or deeper behind the wall (im 90-95% certain it 3.5, if not its only slighty different). Any wires not deeper than this need RCD protection. no conduit is required...

ok cheerz for help so far :) well thats a relief they are adaptable, but still bit too late as iv already removed the old one! am i right by sending the orange to the feed the pump? then that just leaves me to find out right combo of white/grey. but that doesnt explain why the boiler...

yeah switchmaster thats it. whole system is switchmaster

needed new valve and pump according to plumber. i only touched the valve wires i was changing, they're different colours to the old ones and theres one less wire (5 not 6) - apparently they dont make them valves anymore! the new one is a honeywell... iv got the orange as a live feeding the...
