Turns out the wires were not live. My live tester pen was giving false readings. I checked the wires with a multimeter and they were dead. Then connected up both ends and turns out the cable was indeed the same one. So the basis of the this thread was incorrect. I can use the t&e to power the...

Hi there, We have recently had a nest put in to replace the our old room stat and timer setup. The old setup was a Honeywell dial stat. With a dial timer on the boiler. The only cable coming out of the boiler apart from power was T&E connected to the 24V switching section (not the 240V section...

Many thanks for your help JohnD. You have been a great help. They have some 600mm in my local Timber yard. In terms of noggins should they be the full height of the joist (probably 6 or 8 inches) or could i get away with 4" sitting flush with the top of the joists. Also is nailing/screwing them...

As i suspected. Is this the sort of thing you mean? (First google result) https://www.selcobw.com/exterior-plywood-sheet-1220-x-2440-x-18mm

Hi there, we had the floor up earlier in the year to have some electrics done and discovered that at some point in the past a when central heating was installed the floorboards had been replaced with MDF/Chipboard. (See pic) The trouble we have is once back down the areas where the board is...

Yeah i have one like this already. Was wondering if there were ones that didn't come with the connections inside like this: And were literally just a piece of plastic with a hole in.

Anyone know of any blank plates with holes in for flex? I could of course just use the current flex cable straight through the outlet to the FCU but wondering if they exist or whether its a buy a blank plate and take a drill to it?

//www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=208578 They basically don't exist. The only way to have a socket and the heating off the spur would be to have the FCU before either of them. So the FCU and a single socket in a duel box? The socket would only operate when the FCU was on...

Just some random website explaining the regs hah. Ignoring the Zone 2 above 2.25m part is the part about zone 2 60cm from the bath correct meaning i shouldn't really have the outlet plate there? edit: better site explaining the zoning regs: http://www.denmans.co.uk/info_bathroom_zones.html...

Thanks that does seem like a better option. Only issue is that the flex cable wasn't left a lot of slack by whoever installed it. We could easily replace the element however.

Thats not what i read?

Hi there having been reading up on my regs i have realised that we may have a small issue with the towel rail in our Bathroom. The rail itself is located in Zone 2 in the bathroom with an ipx4 heated element. This is connected with flex to a flex outlet plate which joins it with 2.5TE which...

Thanks, When i look at it again conceptually it is actually no different than if those two junction boxes were in fact sockets on a ring! I'm going to swap them out for some maintenance free 32A ones before boarding the floor back up.

Hi there, having pulled up the floorboards in an upstairs bedroom i have found that there are two spurs coming from between 2 sockets on our ring main. One serving the hall downstairs and another an additional socket in the room. I know that you can't take a spur off a spur from a...

Hi there, I have a Baxi 80HE which is working fine in terms of the Hot Water and CH both working. However when the hot water is running there are a fair number of gurgles coming from within the boiler itself. It purrs like a kitten when the heating is on. Have tried to make a video of the...

Fitted this today. Had to bleed down a bit of pressure out of a downstairs radiator because the CH flow isolator wouldn't budge before hand. Other than that no problems at all. An easy enough job and it's now whispering nicely on the Hot Water rather than gurgling with air. The used AAV...

Many thanks mate. Will probably pick up a tube as i'm at plumb center in the morning to pick up the AVV.

Hi there, i need to drain down my baxi 80HE to replace the AVV. I've drained radiators before using a hose pipe but the connection on this drain is tiny! Can anyone suggest what size rubber tube/hose i can get to fit on the end? As it's relatively close to other pipe work and the PCB so...
