Thanks Agile - exactly - I plan to sell later this year and need it for the conveyancing.

Morris - re: the meter - So as long as I get an invoice, and the guy is gas safe, that is good enough?

Thanks Morris Yes the chap was and still is registered on the gas safe websaite. They When I spoke to them, they told me he has 30 days to register the boiler, and this has now passed by a couple of months - does this mean it would cost him more to do it if he does it late, as if so, I can...

And as an aside - the house I have bought has an old coin gas meter on the inside (You put a 50p in and it turns the dial, and the 50p drops out of the bottom!), although it has a separate meter outside - the coin meter must be there because I gues an old landlord was charging extra for the gas...

Had a boiler fitted three months ago, and had nothing from gas safe. Called them, they said they have not been notified, suggested that I take it up with my gas engineer - he has not returned any of my calls. What are the next steps to get this sorted?

The run of pipe from the bathroom to the outside wall is about 2.5 metres max. The cooker will be between the bathroom and the outside wall, say about 1.5 metres away from the outside wall. So I have about 1.5 metres to go up, alongside and into the bathroom pipe. Diameter is 120mm. If I...

ok - Thanks - I plan to have the bathroom exhaust going to the outside wall on a down gradient. The kitchen (which lies between the bathroom and outside wall will have a cooker hood (this will be about vertially below the rigid PVC pipe. So rather than connect straight up into it should I run...

I am venting from Kitchen and Bathroom connecting to the same ducting - How would I prevent kitchen venting to bathroom and vice versa? I assume there is some sort of gravity flap or such like - can anyone point me to a product please?

OK - I have found Appendix E of Part F, and I have the answers to 1& 2. Anybody have ideas on 3 above please?

I am now looking at how I should best vent out in the roof space. I cold vent out onto the front of the house, the side or the back. 1. Is there a maximum distance I can vent horizontally? 2. I guess that once horizontal, the vent should not elevate? 3. Is there a rule about venting onto...

<A little tip: When you have completed the cross-connections for the tests in Test2, (say using two single connector blocks), if you take a reading between the two connector blocks (at the CU), this reading will be roughly what you should expect to get at each socket.> Ok - that makes sense...

Got it - thanks so much.

Thanks. Been thinking about this a bit more. Firstly, in Test 1, the resistance should agree with the table. Can I still stay with test 1 for a minute, and test the sockets (although it doesn't say so in the link) So staying with Test 1 (and leaving one Live and one Neutral...

< Now all you have to do is learn how to do the figure of 8, Ring Final Continuity testing - for when you connect all those sockets back on and want to confirm continuity and polarity > Ah ha - nice one! http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Book/8.4.2.htm That is amazing, and so obvious when you...

Thanks John. Thanks BAS for pointing me to a continuity test on the wires, and I thought I'd just update fully what you meant, as this was very useful for me to identify everything that is happening on the ring main. Anyone who wants to know how their sockets feed one another might wish to...

Thanks. < Use a continuity tester to identify lengths of cable. > I think I see - keep all circuits dead, disconnect the cables, connect live to neutral? (when dead), and test for resistance on another pair of live and neutral wires? The one that has little resistance is the cable...

< Do not disconnect cables while they are live !!! > Yes, I meant I would disconnect them (when they are dead) and then make them live to test them - if they remain dead, then I have found the feed. < You need to ensure continuity of the ring after you have finished. How will you go about...
