    Vaillant EcoTec Plus 428 constant cycling

    Can you not get a CH pump that displays the flow rate, or get some form of flow meter so you can see exactly what is going on with that side of things? Our ecotec (got rid of it now and installed different system) I remember used to cycle a lot. One particular issue was self inflicted as I was...

    Best wiring solution for LED driver in kitchen cabinet

    Hi all, I have a LED strip to install in one of my kitchen cabinets. I have the 12v LED driver which is powered by an adapter which I need to plug in somewhere close by. I have the supply side of things sorted- it is just where to mount the socket. I am guessing a surface mounted box somewhere...

    Plumbing in kitchen sink waste (Blanco- odd size waste kit)

    Yes. Recommissioning the two white plastic elbows in the ‘top’ kit, and even then they are different pieces/lengths. Just seems such an untidy solution all round, and the sink was not cheap.

    Plumbing in kitchen sink waste (Blanco- odd size waste kit)

    If you mean the connection here between the black piece directly under the pop up waste, and the white elbow.... Yes that comes apart. I spoke to the retailer today in fact (a separate issue is that one of the pieces is broken so I need to get it replaced) and they said that I should just...

    Plumbing in kitchen sink waste (Blanco- odd size waste kit)

    Thanks- I suspected the main thing causing me strife trying to work it out, is that the fittings provided are rather over complicated. Strange kit to supply with the sink I have.

    Plumbing in kitchen sink waste (Blanco- odd size waste kit)

    No it's a double sink. One overflow, with the pop up wastes.

    Plumbing in kitchen sink waste (Blanco- odd size waste kit)

    Thanks.... I think I've figured it out (or part of it). The nudge above resulted in me having a proper look in one of the kits I've been sent and there is indeed a coupler so that side of things is sorted. The instructions though I cannot work out. I've been sent the drain kit which is this...

    Plumbing in kitchen sink waste (Blanco- odd size waste kit)

    Hi all, I have a Blanco kitchen sink that I need to install, and it came with a waste kit. I have noticed however that the outer diameter of the waste pipe is a few mm narrower than the standard "40mm" solvent weld pipe I have used for my waste run behind the cabinet. Photo attached (bottom...

    Double oven- what would be the best flex outlet/switch options

    Sorry one more question. Is there any reason why I can’t do cable to the cooker switch, and then use 3 way wagos in a junction box to split and supply the two ovens? I have some room in the void/under cabinets where I can put the box

    Double oven- what would be the best flex outlet/switch options

    All noted and understood, thanks all. That is why I wanted to ask on here :)

    Double oven- what would be the best flex outlet/switch options

    Right I think I follow now- I was thinking about it the wrong way around and dual outlet plate first. What I should do is have one cooker switch, and then my cable from this cooker switch goes to the dual outlet plate to wire both ovens?

    Double oven- what would be the best flex outlet/switch options

    Thanks @EFLImpudence sorry I meant what switch rather than cabling. Presumably I need some form of isolator? That is what I wasn't quite following with the advice around not needing to isolate separately- which completely makes sense but then I thought I'd have to do this anyway as they need to...

    Double oven- what would be the best flex outlet/switch options

    Thanks again. So I can get the dual outlet plate, mount that on a 35mm back box in wall? I then have my two cables for each oven. See where you are both coming from (and agree) with the point around when am I going to need to isolate them separately. What should I then be using in between my...

    Double oven- what would be the best flex outlet/switch options

    Ok thanks both. I think in fairness I am probably overcomplicating this. The other factor I need to consider is that I only have 30mm clearance behind the actual cabinets so I'm struggling to surface mount anything. Thus looking at the duel outlet plate it only seems to come with the option of a...

    Double oven- what would be the best flex outlet/switch options

    Thanks pete01. That potentially looks ideal, and the solution I was struggling to find.... So something like this? https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/AA45DCOP.html Then the two flex outlets at the bottom would feed each appliance (oven and microwave oven), presumably via a FCU so I can...

    Double oven- what would be the best flex outlet/switch options

    Thanks I've already had advice around the diversity and what circuit to keep it all on. It was more for the actual hardware I need in terms of fused connection units etc. Each oven is rated at 3kW. Hob is 7.5kW

    Double oven- what would be the best flex outlet/switch options

    Hi all, I'm refitting my kitchen at the moment and soon arriving at the point where I am installing our new hob/oven configuration. I am using the same dedicated 32amp circuit which supplied the old oven as previously recommended on here. This now will supply an induction hob on a kitchen...

    Heat Loss - Pen & Paper Check

    I wouldn’t write off running lower flow temps/ashp in the future, and overcompensating now with respect to radiator sizing is definitely a good strategy. If it helps our house has very poor insulation in places. I remember experimenting with our old boiler where we would be running setbacks of...

    Boiler sizing query?

    Combi completely different as would have to be sized for hot water demand.

    Securing kitchen base cabinets to wall

    That is so helpful. I was doing some googling thinking there must be some form of universal fixing for this scenario but couldn’t find anything. That looks much easier, and better. Thanks!
