I live in estonia and here they do not have these remote fire valves - the heating engineer I spoke with has heard about them and seen one once but they do not use them in estonia - so here it is not a 'must', but the opposite that it is deemed not necessary. My question was whether he was...

any ideaa if it is necessary for a fire cut off valve to be fitted to the oil pipe? I have been told that it is not necessary since a fire would not spread to the tank because it would run out of oxygen. I will get one to be on the safe side (they must be invented for a reason) any idea what...

That's a boiler in the good sense? :) Out of curiousity does it come under any particular plan? With the wiring - do i need to make any link wires if I am taking out the hot water stat and valves?

But there is no water tank - only a filling loop - and the boiler is not connected to the hot water - this is from a electric water heater.

Thanks for a quick reply - It's a fully pumped system (standard gravity primary set up - what is this, not heard of it before?). Its a system boiler with expansion vessel, pressure relief valve etc and has one 22mm flow pipe which branches into 15mm pipe locally to the rads and then the...

I have an oil system boiler which serves only the central heating, pump, room thermostat and programmer with trv valves on all rads except one, there is no cylinder thermostat or port valves. So my 2 questions are: 1. What plan does this come under Y,S etc? 2. In order to do the wiring...

I have a couple of questions: 1. The distributor/plumbers merchant here in Estonia advises 12mm plastic coated copper for the piping from tank to boiler (it is normal here) to help against frost/freezing (we occassionally get -30deg). Any advise - should I stick with 10mm? 2. Should i bury...

I have a sealed system, boiler is a combi Trianco. I am only using the boiler for central heating not hot water (if anything goes wrong and it stops working I still want hot water at least). Situated under the boiler lid/top there is one flow pipe with the pump, pressure release valve and...

I intend to install my own Oil boiler, tank (tank is sited at least) and oil pipework (have been planning it since last year but things got in the way). Water piping and rads are all in, just ready to hook up to the boiler. I have a number of questions, I see a lot of topics regarding...

It's ok, I found the solution on the UK electrics page. Basically live to the L terminal and switched live to the N terminal and all works nicely. The other terminal is for 2 way switching. But thanks anyway.

Yes I am in Estonia, Tallinn. Estonia is very bureacratic in many things but not when it comes to home electrics. It is nowhere near as strict or regulated as the UK. When a house is first built it requires a project by the contractor/electrician who installs it (which is a simple schematic)...

Thanks for this - it makes sense, thank you. If I run in to problems I will let you know, very helpful thanks.

I would have preferred help or useful feedback because you didn't really help much, sorry mate. I really don't wish to change the light fitting, easier or not. Rather I wish to add a sensor to it (imagine it like all the other 4 lights but rather than having a built in sensor I wish to add one...

I currently have a series of 5 lights in my garden which are on the same switch. 4 of these lights have their own built in motion sensor, but one (which is an older light attached to the house which i want to keep) does not have a sensor. This means that when the switch is on the older light...

I tried this question before but no one who responded seemed to be able to help so perhaps someone else might know? Basically I have a new dimmer switch that I need to know how to wire, pictures are below. I have currently 2 switches side by side, one I wish to replace with this dimmer. And...

Nobody has any solution - or ideas??

One quick question, please explain or point me to an explanation on the 3 phase? Apart from this, in the brass terminals in the top of the unit - what you see is all the earth wires and the neutrals for the 2nd row of fuses . the 1st row only consists of the main isolation switch and...

Not sure how to make the pictures any bigger :s I have tried again here on an A3 image jpeg, but it doesn't look that much different to me on screen. How did plugwash manage to make the picture so big? When I preview and click on the picture it almost fills the screen - does it not do that...

Does anybody have any ideas how to wire this? The last one doesn't work after it went bang (even though it has 1.5amp fuse in to protect it) but I managed to get a replacement and before I do the same to this one I would appreciate some input on how anyone out there thinks this should be...

here is a picture of the consumer unit - yes this breaker has a test button on it. I will try these ideas tonight. [/img]
