Very straight forward question but not sure why it seems so limited or I have lost my googling abilities..... There seems to be very few 25mm cores to go through a brick and block cavity wall circa 300mm.. The supply tails on the outdside hot and cold tap, which incorporate the valves, run back...

Hi All, Is there a effective, efficient way to go looking for a wiring fault tripping on downstairs lighting cct? Ideally, for me to go looking with a multi meter but otherwise, if I have to, an electrician with a proper testing machine..... Currently the cct is operating on an MCB. It is...

Hello All, Following earlier advice, I've acquired a used v10 to update my 9.1 installed version, as well as a lan comms card.. So I'm wondering how much difficulty and time it takes to set one up (for an unexperienced amateur).. I'm generally good with config and ok with wiring not done much...

Hi, I've read a few helpful posts on here regarding these two issues. A posting in 2024, was regarding a sensible upgrade path to a Euro version10 by swapping the PCB over and adding a digi wifi model for app use of arming / disarming / activation reports etc? Only problem is, now the Euro 46...

Evening. Father in law had an extension, this involved a extended single storey rear ext, approx. 4M x 4M heated by UFH. A new boiler (Vaillant Ecotect Pure 825. No real idea why he accepted a combi, when he has a tank and solar which surpluses to hot water tank immersion, but moving on...

Hi. At the inlaws house. I set up a newly purchased Techmate HDMI modulator with 4k pass through. I also ran coax feeds using webro wf100 to 2 other rooms. Previously the aerial, a Fracarro Periodic Log fed one point only. I introduces a labgear LDL204 for this purpose as one run was nearly...

Good evening. Have a ADT branded Galaxy G2 alarm which is paid for. Still pay for their monitoring monthly service. As a part of full fibre broadband install, we are losing the PSTN copper line the alarm communicates with ADT centre on. Called ADT, they said the only option is to upgrade to...

Anyone have any experience of such set ups? I have some good friends who have such a set up but a very strange anomaly exists. The tank is 150l and the water is lifted to 50c by the ashp. (house is only usually 2 people). blending to 38c gives a theoretical no losses duration of about 19...

Hi. I'd really appreciate some advice on where to focus to fix the problem. I think the photo's speak for themselves I have put some text in 2 photos to explain what work was done in altering apertures (before rennovation work, the smaller window aperture was wider and the larger narrower)...

I want to replace the waste and trap on this Sphynx basin. However the bottle trap arrangement wasn't what I was expecting to find. The bottle trap on there has no union nut to screw onto a conventional waste thread. It looks integrated with waste? The brand on the bottle trap says viega...

Hello and good evening. I’m trying to help out a friend, part way through some house extension work. Their CH system has been altered from a y plan with a unvented cylinder and radiators to an s plan with 3 no. zone valves 1. Rads, 2. CH, 3. HW Cylinder and is operational on the old timer...

A little odd this. All lights are on the downstairs cct. There are 2 x leds in the bathroom and a fan. On a 2 gang switch. The other gang controls a single led outside the bathroom. In the kitchen / diner. There is a two gang hamilton dimmer. 1 gang controls 8 x 1eds. 2nd gang 2 pendant...

Morning all. Appreciate advice on this. We had an intergas Eco RF installed in Sep 2018, it is not yet due for an annual service. When it was installed, I'm fairly sure I recall the clear condensate trap under the unit was filled with water and clean. However, after 4 month's use. It is dry...

Briefly, in wall cable run with damaged end plug. I am pretty handing with fitting connectors, done RJ45 before, also quite handy with a soldering iron but there seems to be very few male HDMI plugs. Some on Amazon have screw down terminations but come from china so 3 weeks wait.... Another...

I'm having a bit of brain fade here. A long, long time ago I used to set up some remote switching using full xantech kits, receiver, emitters, power module etc. However, my needs are not that extensive. All I really want is to control an old Rotel amplifier volume which is inside a cabinet (it...

I currently use the sky + HD rf out to distribute to about 3 TVs in total. Sky costs have gone up so much. I am considering dropping it, and replacing with Now TV which is far more pay as you use orientated. Anyway, one issue, is that because the Sky+HD box had an RF output with a modulated...

What is the best approach for something like this? There is no water running in it presently and it appears dry. It is dry weather here today though. It is cutting diagonally across our rear garden, I pushed a rod up stream and got to 10M which is just over the neighbours rear garden boundary...

My designs, as critiqued on here regarding flat roof / false pitch design, are light on detail. In the design it is shown that cavity closers used for windows and doors including at the base of the large sliding doors. Approx 4.2M aperture. The builder who has just started, said often that...

I asked a similar question over in the plumbing forum but no takers on answering this aspect. I'm looking at using wet UFH in the extended area of our kitchen / family room. I am concerned about UFH output vs heat loss. There is a lot of glass, plus there is an existing area of the old...

Is there a way to reliably calculate the maximum output possible out of a wet underfloor heating system? Can it take into account a maximum floor temp of 27C? It would be on a gas boiler, so flow temp can be set as required. This is for an extension, the net floor area available for UFH piping...
