I need to hide a boiler in my kitchen, I thought a custom built wall unit to match the rest of he units i need 400mm deep instead of the normal 300 to give a decent air space around the boiler. The boiler is old but still in good working order and is balanced flu, and i intend to fit vents top...

take a very close look at your meter, are you reading .1 of a unit or .01 of a unit not whole units?

I have never tried it myself but you could build boxes from plaster board to cover the lights. I heard someone say about this some time ago, not sure quite how to go about it but perhaps no nails to join it all up?

Makes me wonder if the earth is any good

Good answer, I would not rely on compression joints any way but just asked the question anyway. Threaded conduit is, i believe not deemed a secure earth so i would assume the same for pipes.

Bearing in mind this a DIY forum so compression joints are very likely to used instead of soldered on pipe work, can the pipe work still be relied upon to provide continuity?

I think they wanted to run 240v vacuum cleaner. In there defence they were a little hard of thinking.

Can any one tell me which reg recomends 300mm as the minimum distance?

I was asked at work once to make up a yellow plug to blue socket adapter. I did not oblige.
