I will post a photo. It is single outer pc cable with two vertical purple lines either side on white cable. Inside are three separate copper strands.

Camera battery charging, but i will upload a photo of reel and cable asap.

I have just stripped a small section of the white and purple sleeve and there are 3 separate copper wire strands. How would somebody use it ? There must be about 20 reels of assorted twin colours but i don't want to risk selling it on Ebay as I assume it does not conform to modern regs. When I...

Is there any current use for this cable or is it just for scrap ? I assume it would no longer comply with current regs ? I have about 20 unused reels of BICC cable. size 3/029 Ref: 4491X and it is white and violet . There are quite a few different colour combinations. The reel label shows...

Thank you very much for all your help. The manufacturer advised against free-standing floor mounted taps due to access to front panel but suggested an overflow/filler unit as a possible option. Think I will go for the original taps against the outer wall - trust the plumber creates a twenty...

Forgot to mention that it has been suggested by the distributor, that if flexi pipes are fitted to the taps, with the cut-off valves located just behind the front panel - then there should never be a problem. Is that correct ?

Thank you for that. I think that a problem anticipated can be avoided - and removing a bath to fix a problem in a fitted tiled bathroom situation is going to be horribly messy and equally expensive. I wonder if a floor mounted mixer tap assembly in front of the front panel, half way down...

This is what puzzles me. My existing bath has been there for 28 years and no problems except for limescale build up inside the taps which are now seized. The same happened with the sink taps which were easily replaced. If it makes any difference, the hard water in this area causes problems...

Thank you Burnerman. I am pretty sure he meant glue, because I mentioned that I had read that the 5mm acrylic baths were prone to movement - he said that he glued them to the wall to ensure there was no possible movement. If the bath was able to slide out for access to the taps/pipes I assume it...

I wanted a Carron left hand shower bath installed however Carron advise the only place the taps can be located is along the long tiled wall side rim of bath. I chose this particular model because of the wide shower area in the bath. To me - this seems strange as if there is a leak of problem...

Thank you so much ! The fluorescent is now out. As the light is so close to the inside edge of the fitting, you can't get thumb or finger between, to get a grip. It was tightly fitted in but eventually turned that quarter turn as you suggested. I did attach a pic - have I not uploaded it...

I have an illuminated bathroom mirror. The mirror lifts off and there are two T4 fluorescent tubes either side. These 2 pin tubes are each slotted into a fitting which has a connector plugged into each one. As the tube is so slim, I am worried about breaking it. The tubes are quite close...

It has definitely been worth the effort and thanks to this site and the contributors for their help - and gallows humour !! Made us laugh. As for the portrait of the plumber - well, I think that will go to Trading Standards. I don't think either of my parents will ever hang a plate or...

Many thanks ! I checked them today and the pipes aren't actually touching - I think they are from the Tiger Loop to the boiler. I have posted more photos of the wrapped pipes. This site has been a fantastic help - so thanks again.

The pipes have now been wrapped - not in the felt type material I was shown, but in a silver gaffa tape - not sure if this is insulating tape or not. It is silver, quite thick but not padded. The pipes have all been wrapped individually - more photos attached ! Is this wrapping and the tape...
