Thanks for that, I understand all that, but I don't know for sure if the Steinel light has the option for permanent override. Looking at the wiring instructions etc, it seems to imply it doesn't.

Hi guys, Looking to fit one of these outside on my house wall overlooking the back garden: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Steinel-Sensor-Flood-Light-Black/dp/B005A33XBA Steinel products seem to be rated well on here, and across the web. However what I need is for the light to be PIR controlled, but...

Thanks but can you explain that in a way my simple mind can understand? I can't seem to work it out.?

Hi guys, Currently putting carpet titles down in my garage and I've come to laying the outside edge ones against the wall. What's the best way to measure and then cut the tiles so they fit perfect. The wall is a bit uneven in places. Thanks :)

Thanks for all your help guys. Going to do the job this weekend. Got some nice mk metalclad sockets.

Yep just ordered the trucking! Thanks

Thanks guys, i'll go from a ring then if thats the preferred option. Lots of more cable though! :( Yes fully RCD protected. Thanks guys

Hi guys. Hoping you can clear something up for me… On the back wall of my (internal – new build house) garage I have a double socket which is on the downstairs ring of the house. So I have two lots of T&E, one coming and one coming out of this socket. I now want to install 2 new double...

Thanks. Will 1200w make a difference to my setup/MCB etc?

Yes single tap. Would I get more pressure/flow with bigger diameter? Thanks

Just bumping this... Measured the incoming copper supply pipe now and its 22mm. My question is, should I use 22mm copper pipe all the way from my tee to my new tap, or go with 15mm pipe, using a 22mm to 15mm reducer. Which will give me more power/flow at the tap? Thanks

OK thanks. ill leave it as it is.

Thanks. Its a 800w Microwave, had it on for about 5 min warming up some food. The circuit only has the boiler (3A FCU) and my new single socket, which will only ever have the microwave plugged in. Given that, would the 6A MCB protect the cable etc better and therefore be safer? Thanks

Hi guys, Just bumping this back up as I now have a new question. I've installed the new socket and spurred it off the FCU and everything went great! Pretty happy with myself, all working great and looks like a pro job! So before I changed the MCB to the 16A one from the 6A one, I...

OK thanks. I'll have a think then. Sounds like speed fit will be easer for me in terms of doing the job. I just worry about its longevity. Saying that my house is a brand new new build so I suspect the house is full of plastic pipe anyway?!

OK thanks. The speed fit coupler just looks very bulky, and my mind says that copper/brass is better than plastic?

Can someone explain how these slip compression couplers work? How do the compress the olive if they have no stop inside them? So i'm thinking of getting my tee piece and putting a short length of 22mm copper pipe each side of it, and then cutting into the supply pipe the exact same length of...

Fantastic I think I'd prefer using compression brass slip and tee. I'll get them! You can get double check valve taps so that should be ok I suspect? Thanks guys

Great just the job! I'll get one ordered! Feels odd using plastic pipe, is it as robust as copper? The entire water supply for the house will be going through it that's all, just a bit concerned

Thanks. Can this be used on copper pipes on all sides?
