Unable to insert poly as there are elbows under the floor but the strainer sounds a good idea. Will pick up a couple of those today. Thank you.

I've got a mix of copper and steel pipework through my 100+ year old house. The whole heating/HW was updated (unvented/system) a year ago but some lengths of existing steel H&C water pipes were tapped onto at both ends as there wasn't an easy way to run new copper all round the house. There is...

Wow, this has to be the biggest thread crept post I've ever put on the internet. Well done folks, keep it coming! Everything I see in old films is either black or white :ROFLMAO:

Ceramic and porcelain commonly used as insulators :D

Of course, that is an opinion however, my house has electric ufh in all other bathrooms to supplement the old cast iron/steel pipe heating system which is being replaced at the moment. The finished project is very high spec as it will be sold in a market where buyers expect this sort of thing...

I have experience of that, the previous owners of the house I am in now installed it everywhere including in a large kitchen. When I moved in during the winter, I left all settings how they had them to see how it went. After two weeks, I checked again, the house was consuming £200 a week in gas...

The mat is in an ensuite (c 5 sq m total area) with tiled floor above an unheated garage. Although the joist space will be well insulated and the room has a decent ch fed towel rad, I want to take the chill off the hard floor by putting the 300 watts or so into it. It will probably do nothing...

Thanks for the selection Flameport. Interesting that it's (reasonably) clear on the screens that the open circuit is such and not a reading. A more sophisticated device could null the lead impedance out but I stand by my original point that the Klima instructions are wrong in saying that an open...

Bear in mind I posted as soon as I discovered this issue. Interesting that some multimeters do show "1" for an open circuit. Sparky has just been, he said they don't megger the thin wires of ufh mats, just a resistance test, so all done and ready to install. Not sure I understand the...

Sparky would presumably want to do a megger insulation test on it which might reveal a breakdown that the multimeter could never detect. Given that the installation is a notifiable item, then I wonder why Klima don't ask for an insulation test to be done before and after. It's going to be too...

I'm always amused by these specs. I'm sure I saw one once that claimed "x watts Instantaneous Peak American Music Power", probably the same item that had a frequency response of DC to Blue Light.

I'm installing a Klima ufh mat and following their instructions, taken basic measurements before install when my sparky will then test and connect the power circuit after the floor is tiled. Their instructions say to use a multimeter and write down the readings. There are two power cables and a...

Texe seem reluctant to share the protocol of the communicator channels but they have now told me enough to hook up what I need to. For others, the Veritas panel has the following channels 1 Fire - 2 PA - 3 Intruder - triggers GSM dialler 4 Set/Unset - toggled alarm set status 5 Abort -...

We had exactly the same, an ADT system with expired contract in a house we just bought. I asked ADT to look at it and they gladly quoted engineers fee of £52 then £27 a month for monitoring over a min 3 year contract (total £1024 plus another £300+ to BT for line rental) to phone a list of...

I've installed a Veritas R8+ and want to use the communicator channels with a GSM dialler from Control Freq: http://www.sim-entry.com/category/gsm_alarm_diallers I've been emailing Texecom but their tech help isn't familiar with the Control Freq unit. What I want to do is receive SMS...

Thanks for the prompt reply, I'll watch the Ebay item and keep a look out for them, otherwise might rebuild it with the guts from something else.

I'm updating an old Scantronic system with a Texecom but would like to keep the ADT branded SAB (as a deterrent). The battery needs replacing and the strobe doesn't work. Ideally I'd like to buy a replacement matching unit (if they are still made) but keep the printed lid. Does anyone know whose...
