Yes, the old chrome pipe was slipped in and is still in good condition, but the rest ws low quality like you suggested.

Agree with all this although I am hoping by hacking out a bit of the surround of the pipe the push fit might go in... not sure how many mm it needs though

Might try this if I don't renew the whole pipe and section!

Old chrome trap was crumbling; I'll replace with plastic. Previously, the chrome pipe (approx 30mm diameter) leading into the wall went into the wall pipe you see in photo (approx 34mm). I have 32mm pipe but it's too big to go inside wall pipe and too small to put the chrome pipe into (I thought...

I tried it again and it now works. I perhaps had a faulty cable or the wago connector had not gripped it correctly

• Bought new intercom but does not come with "lock controller" shown below • I wired a 12v power adaptor exactly as shown circled in image, but instead of connecting to a lock, the 2 wires were connected to a multimeter • Multimeter shows 12v coming through cable when connected directly and 0v...

Directly from circuit to light fitting

Thanks. Parcel tape is temporary until I get the duct (I have to run around the getting the 1st fix materials for him)

They are

There were several trips...

I haven't actually seen it run because like you say with L and N connected and the light on it should operate until the light is switched off. If a fan does not require earth can the earth wire be used for the switched live connection instead?

Broken neutral even with the light working!?

Yes, with bathroom light which has an LED lamp. Builder keeps says maybe fans are too powerful for the circuit but I reminded him light bulbs used to be 100w and the fan is just 20-33w

Gosh that is cheap. For some reason I thought they cost so much more but maybe that's for a fancy one. The builder is completing the bathroom so hasn't finished installing. While I don't know if he really knows, the previous electrician couldn't make it work either. If it was found that...

The Xpelair fan is new and a second one has been tried. Are you saying I can replicate the switched live wiring by feeding from the live wire to the switched live terminal an don contact that would activate the fan (and when disconnected switch off after the timed period)?

I don't and have not seen my builder with one so i don't think extensive testing with know-how is going happen without a proper electrician

I understand the basics of live and neutral feeding a timed extractor and then switched live feeding that terminal. My builder has who say he's wired it up successfully before can't make it work. I would say neither him nor I are skilled enough to troubleshoot it but in the other bathroom when I...

Are there any regs saying this is not allowed? The theory being that if there was a gas leak, the gas should stay within the house so it could be smelt/detected? I have a gas meter within a wall cupboard that have the bathroom 100mm extractor fan exhaust within 30cm of the meter and its piping.

Was going to have a back to wall toilet in the smallest even ensuite with the cistern in the neighbouring bathroom. I actually found that some macdee cisterns have 1.5m pneumatic tubes, so hope that helps anyone who is googling for a similar thing
