Hi all, Just wanted to know if there's minimum distance required between connections in a normal 2.5 T&E 30amp ring main? I only ask because I want to install two FCUs side by side (in a double box). So I can either install two spurs or one of the ring and the other from a spur. The...

some of it may be, if so i'll take it off. Is one of these ok? http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/WYC20.html I'll probably upgrade the CU at the end of the year to a new one

yeh it could be done but i would prefer to avoid it unless absolutely necessary since i'd have to move the corner cabinet which is a real bugger!

many thanks for the prompt reply davey_owen! CU is about 2m from the kitchen. The radial is run up into the loft (it's a bungalow) and down into the kitchen chased into a wall inside pvc conduit to the first socket, then under the floor and up into first socket (chased+conduit) then under...

Hi guys, after just finishing the kitchen the mrs and i have decided to move the fridge/freezer to the other side of the room. this means that the washing machine, and 2 sockets and fridge/freezer on a 15amp radial. my builder seems to think this is all cushtee, but i think it would be worth...

thanks for the advice! I checked the fittings and pipes are fully inserted so i think i'll just replace with compression fittings. should i connect to the shower with tap connectors?

hello all, after spending what seems an eternity renovating my house i attempted to fit a new thermostatic shower in my bathroom only to find the push-fit elbows in the wall that are supplying the shower are leaking! Obviously i will have to break the tiles to replace the elbows which is a...

ummm just my two cents but plastic is manufactured from oil is it not? so at some point in the future there will be a plastic shortage! unless ofcourse it's replaced by a fully synthetic material...?

thanks for the advice! i was only going to chop off the other end not the tap side! I think I'll just shave a bit off and hack off some of the plaster aswell cheers!

The reason I ask is that the smallest bath tub i can find is 1700mm but i only have 1670mm to work with. So i was thinking of just lopping off 30mm from the end? Anyone tried cutting acrylic? Is it jigsaw or hand saw job? thanks as always...

fanks sm1thson, i'm not normally a hijacker of threads!! i did have a search around though: http://www.iee.org/Publish/WireRegs/WiringMatters/Documents/PreIssue14/1999_6_autumn_plastic_pipes_to_bond_or_not_to_bond.pdf just to clarify my shaver unit and downlights will have to be bonded?

forgive my ignorance but how does all this work with plastic piping? my house has been re-piped with plastic piping under floor boards and copper where exposed e.g. to radiators. So the only metal in bathroom will be the radiator and the taps!

Hello plumbers and plumberesses!! I just had a new boiler fitted and the plumber has left a hot and cold supply coming into the bathroom which is being replaced. Should I just connect the WC, Basin, Bath and Shower all on the same supply or should I split the supply between them? The...

i'm in a similar situation except i've bought a shaver socket and light in one! i think i'll take your advice and supply from the lighting circuit rather than the mains as i'd planned...
