Thanks Mrsat, job done, there were shower hot and cold gate valves on the airing cupboard but the hot was seized so had to turn off the main stopcock but job done, cheers buddy

hi there, I need to change a shower mixer (aqualisa hydramax/colt) in my daughters flat which is easy enough, however I just need an idea of how to isolate the hot/cold supplies so I can do it. It is a 12 year old Barratt flat with hot water cylinder tank in the airing cupboard and expansion...

I have a GlowWorm boiler, a fuel saver F model 100F which is around 1989 vintage and is fine apart from a noisy fan. My local Gas Safe man checked with his usual supplier and the fan is obsolete but he did say if I found one he would fit it as part of the next service. I have bought and...

If you can run a wire inside connect to a 12v power supply (an old phone charger or something of the right voltage/current rating) or a 12v car or motorbike battery, then snip one of the wires to the piezo sounder.

Hi there, I have just bought a 1988 house that requires renovation, it has a hardwired and powered down/redundant 1988 alarm system. I have a new Odyssey 3 external sounder and what I want to do as a temporary measure, while I work in the house, is to remove the old sounder, wire in the new...

Thanks for the replies, I am happy with what I am doing and the UFH will be independent of the house heating, but my questions are simply about where to tee off the boiler relative the pump etc ..... anyone!!

Hi there, a question for you... I have a 1972 house with an open vented heating system as follows: In loft: cold water tank and heating vent cold water tank Upstairs landing airing cupboard: hot water cylinder, pump, 3 way motorised valve (Y plan), drayton wiring centre Upstairs landing...

Thanks Matt. I did e-mail Worcester with two (what I thought were) simple questions but they ignored one question and just quoted a couple of lines out the manual with the other, missing the point. Thanks again!

Matt - so the manual is correct, showing only a switched live and not a permanent live? I have a Drayton wiring centre with all the connections for pump/3 way valve/programmer/roomstat etc in the airing cupboard by the pump/valve etc...

I have a 17 year old oil boiler which I am getting replaced. The boiler is a heating only boiler in my utility room with the 3 way motorised valve/water cylinder/pump in the airing cupboard and water tank/heating water system tank in the loft (i.e.vented). I have a Honeywell programmer and...

Ah that explains it, I will join the two alarm cables together.... thanks

1) Hi there, I have an Intellisense alarm and due to moving a wall have removed the zone 4 (kitchen) PIR. I opened the PIR (Rokonet Cosmos PQ), typred in my code to stop the tamper alarm, joined the tamper cables and disconnected the alarm and power cables from that PIR. It will be a few...

thanks for the info, I have changed the battery again as a duff battery triggers a tamper fault on the 9448+ and I have set the bell time to 3 mins - we will see what happens!

Hi there, in July 2008 I had an intermittent problem with my 9448+ where the tamper alarm would trigger (with the alarm set or not set). As I was going away on holiday I did the following: 1) replaced the battery with a Yucel one from my local alarm supplier 2) linked the global tamper...

I had an Eclipse in my last bathroom, a nice quiet fan (34 dBA for the 100mm) and good looking, but it had no IP rating so limits where it can be fitted. Unsure about the Silavent one though...

Most alarms are fitted with 6 core alarm cable, or maybe 8 core, you can get junction boxes specifically for alarm cable from any good alarm installer/electrical shop

Thanks for the replies, can the immersion go on the RCD side is is that inadvisable? thanks

I know this has come up before, but I was hoping to establish definitively whether a 3kW immersion heater (20 A MCB) and a 4 year old electric cooker (10.8Kw, 40 A MCB) should be RCD protected or not when I get my old CU replaced with a new split load one thanks!

Presumably, as the airing cupboard is on the landing no bonding in the airing cupboard is required?

The airing cupboard is on the landing, not in the bathroom....
