    Soil pipe vent query

    The main stacks are vented at the other side of the house, 110mm goes all the way up thru the roof for those. This vent line just seems to be for the branch to the downstairs loo. Cheers

    Soil pipe vent query

    We have a cellar/utility space at the side of the house, which contains some plumbing/electrics and the boiler. In this space is a 40mm waste pipe, which picks up the boiler condensate and the downstairs toilet sink wastes, and feeds them down into a 110mm soil pipe, which picks up the...

    Worcester 37CDi Primary Hex Failure?

    Already booked WB fixed price repair this evening and the boiler is indeed turned off! As stated in my first paragraph, thats not why i created the thread! I just dont want a repeat of last time, and frankly i trust these guys no further than i could throw them. The pump debacle was certainly...

    Worcester 37CDi Primary Hex Failure?

    Hi Guys. I realise asking boiler questions on here tends to illicit a typical response of "call a guy", but hopefully we can have a sensible discussion with regards to whats going on here. My last encounter with WB engineers was not pleasurable, and as we'll get to later, may even be part of...

    Sockets used for out door equipment who is responsible for safety?

    AFAIK they are, they just need to be interlocked?

    Gas hob ignition & electric oven on the same switch

    More volts doesnt generally reduce the current on a resistive heater. It will not magically stay at 2.99kw if its rated at 230v and you feed it 240v, it will simply draw more power.

    Another bulb holder wiring dillemma !

    because the supply loops around each light fitting in turn, and you've disconnected the circuit in the middle.

    Outdoor Socket Advice

    There seems to be panic around the fact that theres a big DC battery... But something like a industrial motor drive inverter runs AC into a big DC Bus running 600+volts, and no-ones jumping about with those incase some of the DC sneaks out into the mains?

    Outdoor Socket Advice

    The pod point your quoting from is a wall mounted charger designed for permanent installation. They added the DC stuff when the 18th edition came out AFAIK, and clearly yes, these are designed to be installed by a professional electrician who can (should) check these things and ensure its all...

    Outdoor Socket Advice

    There should not be a DC current unless there is a fault, and if there is a fault, the charger itself should turn off. Thats the point of putting all the protection into the charge unit. But if you want to swap the RCD, then go for it, assuming its available and cheap enough.

    Outdoor Socket Advice

    So called "granny chargers" have the RCD protection built into them. They're designed to be jammed into any old 13A socket. So in theory it shouldnt matter that there is an AC RCD on the board.

    Outdoor Socket Advice

    Having spent a while on some EV forums, i can tell you long term charging on a 13A socket will not end well. They're just not made for continuous high load and will eventually burn out and melt. I would suggest you at the very least go for something like the OHME charger and fit a commando...

    Chinese LED ceiling light has : white/grey and yellow wires!

    There are two photos. The first photo shows the empty terminal block, and clearly shows an earth wire, suggesting the fitting requires earthing. The second photo, which Winston is referring to, shows the light wired up with 2 core cable, and thus no earth connection. The OP asked if this...

    Replacing G4 socket + what do I need for LED G4 bulbs?

    The "blue long thing" must already exist somewhere. Perhaps on top of the cabinet. G4 bulbs run on 12v, so there must be a transformer/driver somewhere that converts that from mains 240v down to 12v for the lights. You will need to swap that out for one thats compatible with LED's

    Thread IP68 Glands for outdoor sockets

    I'm not sure what exactly your trying to achieve here, but these two things arent compatible. You would either use the IP68 glands, and have the exposed cable running between the units, or you would use conduits/bushes instead, though potentially those arent going to give you the IP rating you...

    Replacement Honeywell terminal blocks (moved)

    You get pluggable PCB terminal strip, like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20pcs-5-08mm-Pitch-4Pin-Plug-in-Screw-PCB-Terminal-Block-Connector-OIUK/153919933917?hash=item23d657cddd:g:IN8AAOSwcmZa0XOC It looks like something along those lines, but you'd maybe need to find the right brand for it...

    MK Prices

    I've had some Logic+ switches which had a much smaller switch module and those were horrible, so bad infact that the slight pull from the T&E in the box would make the rocker sit squint. I avoid that style now. The ones i've bought recently though all have the full size "grid style" module instead.
