Thanks for the other suggestions guys. Mattylad, I agree that this will be annoying but it is one of the conditions fir working in this building. It will only be for the hose tap supply that the plasterers/painters will use. They will he stood next to it the whole time while it’s running so...

Thank you Madrab, That’s exactly what I’m looking for.

Hi All, I am just about to start a job in a very high end apartment block. One of the first things we need to do is fit a temporary hose tap for the site. The Landlords Tenants Agreement states that if a hose tap is to be installed, it must be fitted with some kind of valve/meter that will...

Hi Newboy, Yes, you are right, it is a void above a ceiling. The void is 0.3m high and the room is 6m wide. It is not a purpose made duct, just a dropped ceiling.

Good Evening All, We have a gas pipe running through a ceiling duct. The duct is 0.3m x 6.0m so to my calculations, the duct has a cross sectional area of 1.8m2. This means that we need to install a vent with a minimum of 0.05m2 of free area. (Please correct me if you believe that any of the...

Thanks Gents, I’ll let you know how I get on. Chubby plumbers fingers aren’t the best when it comes to wiring.

Hi, sorry I’m back. When I take my live and neutral from the boiler to the heat link. Do I literally connect onto the live and neutral terminals on the boiler with a second cable? (so there will be 2 cables in the same terminal) or is there somewhere else on the boiler to take it from? It...

Thank you Stem, Much appreciated.

Hi Stem, thanks for your reply. Not sure what you mean by don’t link terminal 2 to L. I would be linking terminal 2 to one side of 24V RT. Regarding Gas Safe, I own a gas safe registered company and have a registered employee who will be doing installation. We just don’t usually get involved in...

I know you all must be sick of nest wiring questions but just wanted clarification if anyone could help me please. Here is what I propose. 1. LNE from 3 amp fused spur to boiler power terminal. 2. 2 core from L & N on boiler power terminal to L & N on heat link. 3. 2 core from 24 volt RT on...

Thanks for the advice guys. Looks like I’ll be trying to talk them into alternative options if it all goes ahead.

Ok, thanks anyway mate.

Hi Stem, Thank you very much for your detailed reply. These are new build flats so I would imagine that the electrical requirements have been considered. I will certainly raise the issue though before works commence. Regarding running costs, I agree but this is what has been asked for. If we...

Good Morning, I have been asked to price a job where there is no gas available and no space for the storage of any fuel. The client has asked for electric combi boilers to be fitted. I’ve never fitted one before and wanted to see if anyone has any recommendations on make and/or model and if...

Thank you Muggles

Thanks Phill. They probably will but they will also have a budget so I’m pretty sure if I offer a cost option for separate zoning, they will ask me if it is a necessity or a luxury. I’d just like to be able to offer the correct info when asked.

Thanks for your reply. I didn’t think separate rooms mattered. I thought the reg was just based on square metres. I know I could offer it but I may be asked if it is a necessity. Do you know if this is the case? Just for clarification, there are 3 large open areas and around 10 other...

I’d be grateful if anyone could offer any advice on this. I am aware that under Part L regs, any dwelling over 150m2 must be split into at least 2 separately controlled central heating zones. Does anybody know if this is also the case for non residential? I am currently pricing a community...

Go with the first guy. Second guy is talking nonsense, definately a cowboy.

On a combi?
