    DW/WM off a Combi

    Reccomend a Combi?

    It needs a permanent drain line which is slightly acidic, it's from the condensing/reclaiming process, so you need to fit a drain line from it. I used overflow pipe and teed it into the bath waste. It is quiet, it's in our airing cupboard and we sleep with it on and don't hear it.

    Drill Key

    best way is to tape the chuck key close to the plug so it makes you unplug it each time to change the bit, no more embarassing moments and safer :shock:

    Armoured Cable Glands

    I always use Pirelli glands from 'Newey and eyre', they cost a bit more as you get everything you need in a packet (shroud,earth tag, adapter for 20mm and a locknut)

    2 way dimmers (again!)

    you have to have a 'normal' 2 way switch at one end. The problem with this is that when you switch on at the non-dimmer switch end, the light will illuminate at the dimmers setting

    Cable size - garage/workshop

    1) You want at least 6mm cable, 10mm if you can get it. 2) put the new CU in your house then off of a 40A MCB on the NON RCD protected side put the feed to the garage CU, then feed sockets from that through an RCD.

    New Vaillant condensing combi 824 E/2

    Just installed it with a corgi engineer. He put the gas line to it in 15mm as this was the size of the tail supplied. Is this large enough? I queried him and he wasn\\\'t too sure. It runs at 22mm then into 15mm for the last 2metres.
