I bought a house last year and discovered the boiler is a 2015 Ideal Logic + 30KW Combi that has it gas feed on a 15mm pipe. The distance between the gas metre and the boiler is around 1.3m pipe run, possibly less as it is installed adjacent to the wall of the gas meter. There are 3 elbows on...

The glow calmed down. I think what I did is tried to top up the boiler and open the two valves on the fill loop to raise the pressure but I closed the return and flow valves also so the pump was constantly running hot as the tado thermostat was staying on as no water was moving around. I’ll...

Open the cover up from an Ideal logic + 30kw and saw this glow. I can’t think it’s normal but is it something to be concerned about ? Is it likely an attachment that needs replacing ?

I have an Ideal C30 boiler it has a filling loop. I cannot see an isolator valve to the cold feed. I am refurbishing my kitchen, shall I add an isolator, thinking of adding a pegler full bore for the boiler cold feed so it is easier when we change the boiler in the future. Shall I add one or...

Can I please check, what sort of torque settings you use for the blue flying RCBO lead of a 32A, 20A and 6A Hager RCBO? The manufacturer says 2Nm2 however I see the 32A has a 4mm cable and not sure what size is the 20A and 6A, looks like 2.5mm stranded. My electrician used around 1.4Nm2 after...

https://hager.com/uk/products/h/ada932u-rcbo-1p-n-6ka-b-32a-30ma-a I'm just wondering if the above is a dual pole RCBO as it is marked as 1 +P Need a 32A RCBO for a Zappi charger. My electrician put a single pole RCBO

Just bought some and it says Made in UK. So all clear.

Have you guys got any preference over these two makes of cables? I have heard that Prysmian are now manufactured in Turkey?

It is a recirculation hood.

Thanks so much, I don't understand how I could not think I could use one cable as the cable is the spur! One of the thing I read is that the cooker hood needs to be able to be isolated easily without having to reach for a chair hence I did not want to keep that socket at the top of the wall...

My cooker hood does not have a fused isolator They put the cooker on the ring with a double socket next to the top of the cooker hood I want to bring the isolator next to a socket. Above the worktop for easy access. Am I allowed to connect the fused spur as in the diagram. So basically I...

ok I see

Manchester, I will use my own electrician as I want a Hager board with SPD and a few blanks for future installations such as an electric car circuit

I had a failed EICR in one of the rentals and i get mixed opinions about it. My electrician said that if the installation has not been modified then all the C2s should have been C3s and they do that so the electricians that carried out the inspection get more work. I went through an agency for...

I’m kind of stuck trying to find the best way of routing led lights in my kitchen There will be one led light strip underneath the edge of the worktop and one lef strip underneath the wall units. One driver will drive both strips. It’s a very small kitchen On the plastered wall I’m...

I went to my loft to checked the electrics after my electrician installed a new CU and partially rewired the house and found that he has joined 2 x 2.5mm cables for the sockets using a wago light box. This box is rated at 16A but the cables are part of the sockets 32A ring. The wago connectors...

No this is my house!

The run is less than 8m from CU to the socket. As far as the ratings are concerned the dryer is a Bosch with heat pump so it doesn't consume as much and I have not decided on a fridge yet, just a standard fridge freezer, single one as there is no room for a double one. This is a 2 bed bungalow...

I am thinking of splitting the house ring as it serves the whole house and create a new ring for the kitchen. I am also thinking of creating a radial for a Samsung Fridge freezer and a dryer. Do you think a B20 RCBO on a 2.5mm cable will serve both these appliances ok?

Haha ok. Let’s forget chatGPT then if I am allowed to do this then I will go with that Here is a drawing of what i want to do.
