That clamp is for a vent pipe for a boiling water tap. That's what I just put (hopefully correctly). Before that was there it was just the thick pipe going up to the thin pipe (boiler condensation overflow) which was just a couple of inches down into the thick pipe. And not attached, just...

No idea! I've taken a photo out of curiosity so hopefully it shows how it doesn't backflow and I haven't just been extremely lucky in not having the kitchen flood all this time. Can you tell by looking at it?

I mean attach the hose to the top pipe and have it open ended into the bigger pipe below. Hopefully that's ok as that's what our builders did! Just without the hose.

Goes into the waste pipe of the sink.

You're right - cheers. Just had another look and it's the boiler condensation pipe. Can I just use some tube like the one from my washing machine out pipe and just use a screw clip to attach it to some hose that I stick down that pipe?

I had to adjust the down pipe slightly from the sink overflow to fit a vent pipe. This has meant there's an inch gap between the two. What can I buy that will be the quickest/best way of having them join again? Previously the sink pip just poked into the down pipe. I assume that's normal and fine?

Cheers. The only double socket I have on me are normal sockets with switches. I assume they're fine to use instead of the ones without a switch?

I have a washing machine next to the sink in a single plug running to a 13A fused spur. I'm looking at a boiling tap so can I change the single plug to a double and run both off that spur?

Recognise it? Dunno why shower people can't stamp some kind of model number on everything?! Thanks for your help so far.

It needs replacing (I think, shower runs cold so Google tells me the thermostat is broken?) but I can't find an identical replacement and ideally I'd want the same one again so the measurements are the same so I don't have to drill any new holes.

Thanks both, that's it! Can't believe it, love the internet

The flush button has broken! I got a Flowmasta replacement at Screwfix but I assumed they'd all be universal but of course they aren't. So I guess I have to either find out what this one is or replace the whole full valve? Will it have a brand name on it anywhere?

In the fan, simply because that was easier. Should I have done it in the ceiling rose? Vent-Axia VASF100B. Which from what I can tell is the most basic of basic extractor fans.

Nope! It's still slightly on, very faintly. Sorry everyone for the confusion :LOL: In summary: She noticed the light was slightly on so I had a look and took that photo. She hadn't noticed the fan was always on. I think maybe because it's very quiet. I then thought the fan might have been...

Cheers I switched those two wires in the fan unit and now it's only on when the lights on.

Well I'm still here and the fan is on the whole time even when the lights off. It's not a timer fan so only has L and N. So does that mean the cables connected to the wrong part of the connectors in the light fitting?

Yep! Must be that then, cheers.

Thanks all. Yeah I've just noticed there is a earth metal lug behind that connector. So long story short, everything looks fine? The light being slightly on when it's off is probably a good thing anyway, call it a night light feature. Edit: what is that yellow wire, if not earth? And why is it...

I friend just moved into a new place and noticed the toilet light was on (ever so slightly) even when the light was off. Turned on it would be bright as normal, turned off it would be ever so faintly on. I had a look and took the attached photo. I'm not an electrician so not 100% sure so...

Ha, so did I. I did what I thought I was told and I then thought it worked as the heat link and therm both linked and said it was working. It was only when my wife tried to shower this morning did I realise how much trouble I was in! What I posted just above sorted it - All done now! Heat and...
