:?: Hi I have brought Wickes ceramic tiles that are recommended for both walls and floors. These tiles are natural stone 'effect' and are 10mm thick x 300mm x 400mm. They are very light weight tiles. The back of the tiles are white. The instructions say to use notched trowel...

Thanks seco services. The run is only around 2 meters (WC is on ground floor). I'll take a chance.

:?: Hi I need to connect the spigot on new toilet to soil pipe. My problem is that a regular 90° pan connector leaves a gap between 40-50mm (to far forward from the wall). Burnerman (from this site), kindly suggested using a 90° Space Saver Bend. While looking to buy one I read...

Sorry for the delay. I am not trying to advertise, but I thought this to be such a good deal (considering what is included in the box), I thought I share it - also there seems to be some confusion over it being a 'gardening site' . . . ummm I didn't see that. Fantroic told me this fan...

Sorry, I should have said - it is an inline fan. It is from a company called Fantronix via Ebay. Before I brought this fan I emailed them asking who makes it, they came back with "Vent". It does look like a well built and sturdy unit. The shower is a the type on a hose detachable...

:?: Hi A new bathroom fan I've brought IS NOT SELV. It has the Square in Square symbol, and is designed to work in the loft. It has an IPX4 rating. MY QUESTION As this is not a SELV unit - can I safely install the fan in the loft in a vertical position so it vents out of a roof...

Many thanks Burnerman.

:? Hi I hope you can help. After removing and old toilet (old fashioned high up cistern) and the surrounding walls that went into the utility room I was left with a 110mm soil pipe which runs parallel to the wall, in a horizontal position - the problem is, this pipe is 50mm 'proud' of...

:?: Hi Can I do away with the traditional 'pull cord' for the lighting and inline fan with timer? But instead put the switches outside of the bathroom (next to the bathroom door). What I want to do is put a leading edge dimmer AND a switch that has the 'fan' symbol stamped on it...

I've read a few other posts, and now I know I was correct in my thinking, I will go ahead fitting this lighting when it arrives on Monday. Not one question regarding the circuit was answered. Difficult to ascertain I know, but how many people do you think who fit lighting of any kind...

:?: Hi Can you buy a straight length of 110mm soil pipe that does not have a 'ring seal' at the end? Like this: Marley 2.5M Ring Seal Socket Pipe SP4025X Grey (Dia) 110mm x (L) 2.5m Or do you have to buy the pipe with a ring seal and cut it off? I ask because I need to connect a one...

Sorry Taylortwocities, I should have seen this one coming; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I thought it best to check with you guys in case I need anything else to commence this job. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The CU is a...

:?: Hi I haven't ordered the Chocboxes, luminaires or transformers yet, and before I do I thought it best to check with you guys in case I need anything else to commence this job. More importantly - is the following correct? As I understand it, the best way to rig the lighting circuit...

Thanks Tony. Alpha CB28

:?: Hi I have sent this as a new post although I have asked similar questions on the same subject. After exposing Hep2o pipework in studwork I find that the hot and cold are both in 22mm. This chalet bungalow originally had a regular heating system as the old water tank is still in...

Thanks Burnerman, Sorry if this sounds stupid - when you say brass compression coupling am I right in thinking you mean a regular brass compression fittings I would use when using copper tube (when I cannot get into endfeed) or do you mean to use Hep2o plastic with brass ends attached...

Hi I have been working on our new bathroom since June. When I ripped out the old toilet walls, I found that many grey pipes (from pictures I am sure these are Hep2o) are located in the stud partition, three 22mm feeding 10mm & 15mm pipe work. One of the fittings was weeping and over...

bengasman when you say that I can use 15mm - does that mean for the bath as well? The old bath which had a shower attached had 22mm running to it. I was going to run 22mm from old fitting, right round to bath, teeing off at shower valve and basin in 15mm. Will 15mm give me enough...

Thanks bengasman and electronicsuk. Good idea about the loft, that would save a few turns, but this bathroom is on the ground floor, covered in asbestos tiles, which I'm reluctant to break into. I've already got the BAL adhesive which apparently will adhere to the asbestos floor tiles...

:oops: Hi I need to replace the radiator in the en-suite, which doesn't have a TRV fitted. I've read in the customer info left with the boiler (from the previous owner) that an "Automatic by-pass" is not required for the ALPHA CB28 Combi Boiler. Just to be on the safe side, can anyone...
