thank you all. It seems there was an intermittent fault on the pump. Fitted a new one and all seems back in order.

Thanks for thinking about this one so far. Update to info given; 1 The Honeywell Motorised Valves are working in line with the thermostats, but not switching on the pump. 2 I say pump singular, because the pump working the hot water for the hot water cylinder has come to life on it's own? 3...

Thanks for the quick reply. 1. There are no fuses in the plugs (they are the old round pin type), there is a secondary junction box with a range of the large trip switch type fuses supplying everything in the boiler room, which werent tripped, I don't know if they blow without tripping? The...

Advice needed please. On the central heating water pipe system I have two Grunfos pumps. One pumping the heating circuit, one pumping to the hot water cylinder. Both pumps stopped working. They are individually plugged in to the electric supply via round 3 pin 2 amp plugs. Other appliances in...

Cheers John.

I am upgrading a couple of radiators from old skirting rads to conventional style. Is it safe to place a new rad in front of an electrical outlet. (I wasn't planning on using it)! Cheers

Hi guys, I didn't realise the plug and then cable led to an adaptor before going to the pump. I don't know what bearing that had on the plug specs, but it was definitely a completely solid moulded type plug no access to fuses or anything. I cut it off as advised and wired staright into the fcu...

good advice, thanks. You're right there is a stamp in the plastic moulded plug 240v 13amp. There must be one in there just no access/flap etc to replace if blown! Wonder how many people have bought a replacement pump with a blown fuse! Cheers, i'm gonna do what you said cut the plug off and wire...

thanks for the reply. I thought of doing that, but I may need to move the pump at some stage to change water filters, so I thought the easy option would be to retain the plug in plug out thing. The fcu already has a fuse, but odly (i thought) the moulded plug doesn't. What do you think?

Hi, sometime ago I had a new kitchen installed with a fcu fitted in a cabinet to power a under sink water pump in the future. Well the future is here and I need help in some safe practice. I have bought a surface mounted metal socket to link up to the fcu so I can plug in the pump(the pump came...

thanks for your help guys.

Thank you Sparkwright. Off the same socket, a previous owner has run an FCU after the socket then to an alarm system , which I want to remove. Did that person wire it incorrectly?

Hi, I've read plenty on this subject but there seems to be conflicting advice. So I would like to give you my personal project for the correct order, cheers; I'm installing a new wall mounted flat screen tv with sat box, ps3, surround sound etc and I need to run a new power supply to this area...

Thanks, found them!

Hello, I'm moving a radiator approx. 2 ft from it's original position. I'm planning on extending the pipework and using push fit connectors. Any reason I should use plastic pipe over copper or vice versa? Thanks.

Thanks for your advice. At this point my questions are really to understand the process and keep the costs down by using my labour to dig the trench. I've employed a drainage company and left the tech. bit with them. Cheers.

Why not?

Thanks for your comments, I've called in an expert to have a look! Just so you know what i was trying to explain; I have a new kitchen layout including new sink/washing machine/dishwasher location which exits the building in a new area, at about 18" above the soil level. I have the white...

I have a new kitchen and re-located waste pipe i want to connect to the existing house soil pipe (outside). I have dug a trench to the soil pipe which comes out about a foot higher. 1. can i connect to it from directly above, or should i run the new connection into the side of the soil pipe at...

Thanks for the pointers. I'll let you know when i start in a couple of weeks, I'd better not start now and screw it up the week before Christmas! Cheers.
