On one shower we had hot & cold 22mm incoming & a 15mm down...

In the UK they are very strict on guns & we get around 26 killings a year. & the USA thousands a year. I got into an argument with a lodger at my own...

    This is why we will never get rid of hate.

    At the end of the day, hats off to Denmark & Australia for having the guts to stand up to immigration & so called asylum seekers. It must be costing us tax payers £millions & could of paid the doctors & what they was after & still got change. This county has no balls.

    Threshold for 3-phase supply

    Easy answer is get the local DNO to give a quote. Guarantee it wont be cheap. I can remember some nice guys that worked for the lecy company's that moved & upgraded many single phase mains for us at a 1/4 of the price of the DNO. They charged us £400 20+ years ago. Hate to think what it would be...

    Could you check i am calculating corectly for solar inverter :)

    Hi, no shading. It was a case of a little bit of future proofing if it was ok to do. I will have a permanent amp/volt meter on each string to keep an eye on things & if any problem, & its far easeir to pull 5 apart than 10 when X amount of feet up on a roof.

    Expansion vessel on unvented hot water tank question.

    Must admit i can only find 32mm MuPVC pipe & fittings. Which is ok as its a 9m run with 2x45 & 2x90 sweeping bends, so boarder line for 22mm. Hopping i can find a 22 to 32mm reducer in plastic. MUPVC. Thanks for the tip, & looks like we are running a 32mm MUPVC pipe to the drain.
