    Gravity system multifuel stove pipe sizing.

    Hi there, Planning on creating a vented gravity loop going into a hot water cylinder. The F&E tank is one of these: http://www.polytank.co.uk/polyred.htm It allows for a 22mm Feed and 22mm Expansion pipe to be fitted to the loop. The hot water cylinder has a 28mm coil specifically...

    Wiring induction hobs, questions...

    I take it internally the hob itself would have a clear seperation between which side utilises which live supply, if its on two different circuits from the consumer unit? So the options are 240V 1x 30A straight feed, bridged neutrals since CCC of Neutral is same as L 2x 16A split feed...

    Wiring induction hobs, questions...

    Looking at induction hobs, I'm just trying to figure out what the logic is behind the wiring instructions. (I'm just curious, that's all) Take this one for example, 230V model. http://files.baumatic.com/usermanuals-uk/bhc605%20280212.pdf Page 21-22. 3core x 4mm² (30A rated double pole...

    I want to fit a 1200lt single skin oil tank

    As far as I'm aware its illegal. You need to have a bund to catch the contents of tank if it were to leak. Have a read here: http://www.tankdepot.co.uk/faq.htm#Bookmark1
