    Finding the source of an electrical fault

    Hi Guys, forgive my slow replies, hope you will bear with me, I only get chance to read these comments in the day then do something at night. Picture I will try to do and upload tonight. I discover it can't be the Vac since I woke up this morning and noticed by a socket timer that it...

    Dimmer switch wiring problem

    Hi Breezer, I give as much information as possible because I hope it helps. As I mentioned before there was originally an ordinary switch here which worked fine. But I would hope the dimmer isn't wired wrong internally since it isn't cheap (about £50). This is the spec sheet...

    Finding the source of an electrical fault

    Hi all, First I will explain my fuse box - it has a main switch to turn everything off and two rows of fuses, the 2nd row has also a breaker switch at the end which can turn off only the 2nd row without affecting the 1st row. Now everything has been fine, no changes to electrical...

    Dimmer switch wiring problem

    Hi Breezer, also you mention that why is the neutral switched at the switch - is this not correct? They should all be just linked together by a wire nut for example in the back box? And only the live and switched live connected to the switch? It's just that these switches all have a red...

    Dimmer switch wiring problem

    Hi again all (don't know why 3 pictures came up). I wonder if the dimmer switch drawing internals are correct?, if not it would explain the Bang. - Not sure I understand you, why would the internal parts be incorrect to the drawing printed on the side of the dimmer? I am not saying it...

    Dimmer switch wiring problem

    Hi all, First let me brief you that I am fairly capable but things in simple language are better for me than abbreviations. Basically I have a lounge switch and an outside light switch side by side and I wish to change the lounge light to a dimmer switch. I thought this would be easy since...

    Oil combi boiler

    Terry you are the man, but excuse my ignorance and need to clarify 100% (so that the installation goes ok) - If i use a system boiler only for heating, then i do not have to have or need to install a water tank, is this correct? Simply the boiler will pump the water around the radiators and back...

    Oil combi boiler

    Hi Terry, I will email Trianco, but i thought they may be reluctant to instruct a non certified installer, but i guess what's the worst - i get no answer 8and i thought it would be quicker here). But maybe you went a little fast for me there. 1. Can a system boiler be installed on a...

    Oil combi boiler

    Hello all, I have a couple of questions, but before anyone says leave it to a professional, i am living in Estonia and here is not the same as England (they charge a fortune and install some strange looking cast iron Jäspi boiler and tank and boiler in one location inside the house). I am a...

    Oil boiler supply pipe

    Thanks for this Grib. The tanks here are basic plastic but sitting in a steel box (basically a thin plate box without a lid - which is apparrently supposed to be fire/hazard protection). So the pipe work is from the top of the tank. This is a link to the tank supplied in Estonia (from Germany)...

    Oil boiler supply pipe

    Ok, then i will really blow your minds with this one. Yes I am planning the work myself (easily figured out there - but you guys usually don't give the information so freely i notice because everything really should be commissioned by corgi reg guys (rules and regs etc)). But here goes, I...

    Oil boiler supply pipe

    Thanx Baxpoti, good website. Oilman: the manual says 10mm, connections in the boiler are 10mm, so then there would be a reduction out of the tank and a step back up to 10mm on connection to the boiler? Also all the tank accessories all refer to inches but pipe is 10mm (so for example the...

    Oil boiler supply pipe

    Hi, I am basically having a oil fired central heating installed soon, and I am reading up on the information so I know what is going on and am not ignorent as to the installation. Most things i understand, but in the oil line supply (two pipe system) the manual says that in the 10mm suction...

    UPVC waste pipe valve, any ideas?

    Very good, you should have considered being a comedian - not a plumber (though I guess you have to go with what you are best at!) The cesspool was already installed before I moved in and it is very small, about 2000 litres. You know you guys should learn to just answer a question posted on...

    UPVC waste pipe valve, any ideas?

    The water meter would be a good idea, but I have most sink water going in a drain off to irrigate the garden - so that wouldn't be accurate, only the toilet waste goes to the cesspool. But the neighbour is planning on installing a new cesspit and rather than dig up the whole house floor or...

    UPVC waste pipe valve, any ideas?

    That wasn't very helpful, and I am not looking for a lecture on rights or wrongs. I live in Estonia, building control? Council? Its a little different here regarding regulations - i don't live in the UK anymore. . All I asked is if anyone knew of any way to do this, not your opinion on...

    UPVC waste pipe valve, any ideas?

    Myself and my neighbour share one common waste water pipe to a very small cesspool tank but we have to empty it sooo often because it cannot take the capacity. We can't split the usage cos the pipes were installed under the floor all already joined. So, we had they idea of putting in a valve...
