I read about these but thought these are for internal use only? It would look a lot better tbh. Cheers DAZB.

This is what I was thinking. Thanks oldbutnotdead.

Hi guys We're getting a replacement roof in the next few weeks. I replaced the external soil stack for new PVC around 5 years ago and this vents through the roof. (See pic) Would this be a good opportunity to reroute the soil stack with an offset around the new gutters and soffits I'm also...

Hi flameport Would this not show when metering the transformer? It's not indicating any shorts. I've tried to tell him but his argument is that it's quite a good "industrial" oven with what seems like good build quality. He says he doesn't want a new one as the quality of them is poor when...

Hi guys Posting this problem on behalf of my father in law. He's had the above microwave for some time now and he loves it. Couple of weeks ago he said there was a burning smell from it and it now does not heat up. We've replaced the burnt out magnetron, also replaced the capacitor (after...

Hi crank39 These are the hinges I'm hoping to replace. Which is the correct process for removing them? Grub screw first then knock out hinge pin? Thanks in advance.

Hi crank39 Thanks for the reply. Yea, I'm quite handy with a drill so shouldn't be a problem. Are UPVC door thicknesses pretty standard? I've watched a couple of YouTube vids and nothing was mentioned about the door and seal thickness? I guess we'll soon find out. Cheers mate.

Hi guys We have a rental property with a 20 odd year old UPVC door with butt hinges on it and one of them looks broken. Pic attached. Can I update these hinges with the newer style flag hinges? Reason I'm asking is because I want to have some level of adjustment because the door doesn't seem...

As above, just upgraded my old system so this is surplus to requirements. Fully working when removed. Comes from a pet and smoke free home. Apologies if not allowed. Remove if necessary. £50 posted.

Morning Handymanjo! This is what I'm doing: Enter engineer menu Go to change inputs Select input 1 (door contact) Input type set to final exit Input area is already set to A When I select area B as well, I get "input/area mismatch" when trying to exit programming. This also happens if I select...

I think I may not have explained myself properly sparkymarka. When I set the alarm, it only gives me the option of setting Area A, I want to have the option of setting Area B for downstairs only, leaving the landing PIR disabled. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi sparkymarka Are you referring to the door contact I've wired on input 1? It's already set to final door.

Hi guys Just finished installing the above system to replace an aging Optima. Everything works perfect but how do I program area B for night set? I have a door contact and 3 PIRs. When setting Area A it ask me to leave by the final door, which is correct. How do I program Area B for night...

Cheers Nige F! Could do.

Hi fezster, don't know what it was before as I didn't have any way to measure it. On the PRV I can wind it up to 6 bar, so it's at least that or more! It's on 3 bar now but there's still scope to lower it further, but I keep getting the pulsating water with the guage bouncing.

Cheers Phill, I always try to use copper wherever possible. It was bouncing when running hot or cold. The only way to stop it bouncing was to turn up the pressure whilst it was running then it would settle down. It's on 3 bar now and seems ok. I could get away with lowering it slightly more but...

Belt and braces an all that!

I wanted to mount the PRV horizontally and make access to the ball valve a bit easier.

Hi everyone Just replaced my old stopcock as it was seized so I took the opportunity to fit a PRV as well as our water pressure seemed excessive and our taps were very noisy and had slight banging of pipes. Install went ok. Honeywell PRV was preset to 3 bar out of the box. Pressure seemed a...

Thanks Alarm Engineer Gonna take these great suggestions when I install it for real. Can't wait to replace my Accenta. The difference in build quality alone is streets ahead! Thanks again.
