That's a good point.

I've just measured the widest diameter of the supplied screws (below the head) and they come in at 5.8 mm. The screws shown in the link in my original post are 7.5 mm, so it's possible those concrete screws would not go through the supplied brackets.

If hanging an 1800 mm tall vertical radiator which weighs 50 kg, do you think it's best to use the standard screw with wall plug supplied, or to alternatively use an equivalent brick screw which does not require a wall plug? Example...

Oh, so cheaper to purchase when new. I had wondered why that was there. I wonder if these were also used as residential outside loos, or commercial-only. The side connection has been blocked so would appear to have been used unconnected to others.

Just curious, as I had read in the aforementioned thread that someone had the same brand of loo. I hadn't actually heard of syphonic before, so was curious as to how to recognise one.

The above post is from a thread from 2008, but I didn't want to revive the thread. The thread suggested it was probably syphonic, though there was no photo. Would anyone know from the image below if this Royal Doulton toilet is also syphonic?

(I'm not an electrician, but) the main fuse box for the house, the meter from which meter readings are taken from and some other plastic box of some description there don't know what it is. Basically just wanted this all tucked in a metal wall box.

I'm looking for a metal wall-mounted internal cabinet into which a mains fuse box and meter etc can be placed in order to cover this up. Obviously I'd get an electrician to install; I'm interested in looking at what designs are available first. Would this product potentially be suitable...

What's DNO?

Thank you. What is the name given to the containment box into which a fuse box and the readings meter are fitted? I wanted to look them up to determine the dimensions to see if one would fit in the location I'm considering.

I know in some older houses the main domestic fuse box can be up near the ceiling, and a chair or small step is required to access it. If I were to get an electrician to move the main electrical fuse box to another room in a house, when positioned in the new location, is there any requirement...

That's interesting. I hadn't heard that term before either.

Thank you noseall.

What is the name commonly used for the concrete "stone" which sits on top of a pillar such as shown. I presume it's going to be something like top stone or cap stone? What do most builders refer to it as? Thanks.

Anyone here used this company before? https://www.radiatoroutlet.co.uk/ When I phone I always seem to get a recorded message.

Thanks ver much CJRatch - much appreciated!

Once an internal wall has been plastered and has been allowed a number of months to thoroughly dry, is there anything which should be done to the wall before applying matt emulsion? I have heard of some applying a thinned down coat first, but I don't know if this is a necessary/correct thing to...

Should an additional percentage be added (everything else being equal), to the calculated heat output required for a room if using a 1800 mm vertical radiator instead of using a horizontal radiator? Thanks.

Thanks very much - much appreciated.

Would anyone know of any horizontal radiators (excluding electric rads) which have a short projection from the wall of no more than 50 mm? I've searched quite a bit but haven't found anything. I know such rads have existed at some point as the rads where I work have a 50mm projection, though...
