Thanks for the prompt responses. Looks like 22mm is the way to go. I forgot to mention that part of the refurb will change a previous ensuite into a second bathroom - it used to have a pretty pathetic electric shower in and the idea was to install a better solution, along with getting rid of...

Hi Folks, Been doing a fair amount of research over the past couple of days, as a refurb of our 2nd floor has given us the opportunity to do away with the HW and CH system-feed tanks in the loft. We've had a plumber around and he has measured static pressure (hit 8 bar on the garden tap...

Thanks for all the help, and sorry for the necro post - this thread comes close to the top on a Google search for this PCB. Got the warning about case seal leaks - I'll be cheking tomorrow.

Chris - for a Potterton (Netaheat 16/22) boiler, which control board could you use instead of the 407676 then? Hopefully the refurbished one (comes with a year's warranty which was another attraction) will give it all a bit more life but if something goes again is there a better make/model I...

Looks like it's heated up a fair bit in it's lifetime - one of the legs out of the resistor to the PCB has fractured and seem to have carried on arcing for a while. Just taken it off and found printed on the side "W22, 5k1, 5%". Bought a refurbished board off eBay this morning for £30 -...

Any idea on the value of R12?

Not sure what the regs are if the circuit supplies the oven only, but I would say it's a good idea to have it on an RCD - kitchen, sensitive location (Part P notifiable), wet hands, metal oven ... would be nice to have an RCD trip before finding there's a fault by touching it ... If the...

Cable is best secured along the sides of joists if following the line of the joist. If you think about it, securing along the top or bottom of the joist would get in the way of floors/ceilings. Cable runs are OK to cross over each other in the garage scenario you're asking about; it only...

Thanks for the replies and explanations. Very helpful. b-a-s>still one for thought then! Though I guess 'better safe than sorry' is always going to be the best route with using a 30A JB - overrated components can never hurt so long as the protective device for the circuit is correctly...

b-a-s> As they say - 'a picture paints a thousand words'! LMAO

wps> as a newbie to the forum and someone who has been asking questions myself maybe I can intervene here. You're first post doesn't quite make sense. The sentences run into each other, and the explanation of the wiring isn't very clear. After reading the FAQ maybe you could set out the...

New to the site and been flicking through old posts with personal queries and out of interest. I know this is an old one now but I've just seen it and wondered if anyone could answer: ban-all-sheds> why 2.5mm2? 1mm2 is rated up to 5A for a BS1361 or 3036 protective device, or 6A for BS...
