I didn't read the instructions because i *thought* I knew how to fit the shower!!! LOL I couldn't read the instructions until I had paid for it and trashed the box and basically gone too far any how. Its not the end of the world, I am still getting one every morning anyway. (a shower)...

Hello there, I have a cold header and hot cylinder. I have recently 're plumbed' this lot, but it looks like there is a problem. If the hot water is not drawn for a long time then the cold header overflows. I think it is a thermostatic mixer shower that I added. It is connected to the hot from...

Yeh probably going to buy from SF. I want to move the tank slightly. Is it ok if I cut the copper vent pipe, and use a bit of speedfit to extend the run, but keep the copper 180 on the end? Not sure if heat is an issue. I do have a resettable immersion.

Hi, what do I do about the vent pipe from the cylineder? The old tank had no lid so the pipe fed in from the top. It came up above tank then had a 180 bend. Modern tanks seem to be completly sealed - what do i do please?

Cheers. There were 2 tanks, so probably 50 gallon. They only had a bath tub and kitchen sink. Do you think i should get a bigger than 50 gallon tank? My hatch is only 500mm x 500mm so I feel a bit limited anyway. I was hoping that this 25 gallon would be enough: (Remeber this is only...

I shall try the flush in the garden with a hose. Can I ask another question please: The cold tank i took out was approx 500 x 500 x 700mm. This was connected to another identical tank that I will remove tonight. What capacity is this please roughly (just one of the tanks please)? It...

Cheers Kev. How do i flush it? If I keep the cylinder then deffo replace the cold tank. I am thinkning about donating the old one to the natural history museum or maybe David Bellamy.

I would like to know any advice about cleaning out my hot water cylinder please or if it is even worth while.... The cylinder was fitted in 2006, but the cold header tank was not touched at the time - it does not have a lid or filter on the output. It looks like it is 50 years old. At some...

Thanks for your help everyone. This switch will provide exactly what I want. If I ever have to replace the fan, I might get one with a built in humidistat, but with the switch at least it can be put on for other reasons too, if you can imagine! Choped out the wall in the hall way for the...

Yes Mr Flameport you are entirley correct. I will order one asap. Thanks. Now i just need to find a replacement white chord. They must sell those seperately?

Thankyou Ricicle and Chri5. What is the difference between: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=1860279&cm_vc=av_uk and http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=5000465&cm_vc=av_uk Not sure which one...

Hi there, Following on from some previous posts, I am trying to get a ceiling pull switch (Mains lighting rated) that will not latch. It was suggested to me that this is called a 'retractable pull switch'. Looking on the internet I can only find the type that they use in Disabled toilets for the...

LOL, but the trouble is I already bought the DX100T and fitted most of it in the wall! If i now use an isolator and a pull switch, it looks like i will have to pull the switch on then off for the timer to work? Im sure i fitted on of these in my last house and dont remember any of these...

spot on mate: DX100T only • Operate the fan using the on/off switch. When the switch is turned off, the fan continues to operate for the adjustable time delay. Looks like i need an isolator and a switch :( Before any one asks, I do not want it to run when the light is turned on.

Please elaborate? Holmslaw.

Thanks for your help. I am hoping that when switch is turned on, fan will run untill timer stops fan. Next morning, i will turn the switch off, then on again to make it run. I would be happy if it works like this. AND CONFORMS to regs (hence the isolator). There is also the potential to...

Sorry, but I think we misunderstand each other, plus I cant answer your questions - your the expert! I am asking - can i use a 2 pole isolator as the control to turn the fan on / off. The fan will run for the timer because I have coneccted the switched live and permanet live to the fan...

Hi, after reading the site, I am wondering what is the correct method for me to wire my bathroom extractor fan. I have a timed unit, which I have fitted and have tripple & earth exiting from. I want the fan to operate on its own switch and not run when the lights are turned on. Is it ok...

Thanks Richard, That is a helpful answer. I shall just clear up a few points, if it helps anyone else: Firstly, My bathroom is on the ground floor. My tank is on the first floor. The mains water pressure is very low, so I wanted to use the pump to fill up the bath as well as the shower...

I am having trouble finding a suitable pump. I wanted a twin impellor that could pump for the bath aswell as the shower. About 1.5 bar, nothing to over the top. Can anyone recommend one thats good for the money?
