I am fitting a woodburning stove and stove pipe to an existing twin wall flue that comes down through the ceiling. The twin wall coming down through the ceiling is supported by the rafters in the loft(bungalow). It says in the regs that the Stove should not support the weight of the flue, i...

The water in pump on a Candy CDI 1012/1-80 rattles when it pump water in. It bounces about and not much water gets into the dishwasher. The arms dont spin due to lack of water coming in. How do i test the pump?

Cheers for that.

Do you know why my neighbor would have a gas boiler flue exiting the roof which is only 1m high on a 45 deg roof. Am i incorrect in thinking the regs for a gas boiler flue are different to a twin wall flue for a wood stove?

I am thinking of getting a wood burning stove installed. The Selkirk twin wall installation guide says i need to have 2.3m above the gutters if the roof is 45deg so that the top of chimney is horizontally 2.3m from the roof. Is this required in practise, 2.3m seems very high??

It looks like next doors is from a gas boiler. I was just wondering what length of twin wall above the guttering, a Hetas reg fitter would install my chimney. 2.3m is very high.

It comes from Selkirk's installation guide, which i guess is to Hetas regs. http://www.selkirkchimney.co.uk/documents/products/Selkirk%20installation%20guidelines.pdf

Selkirk say that the twin wall flue should extend 2.3m above the guttering to give 2.3m distance from the roof surface, if the roof is 45deg slope. My neighbor has a boiler outlet coming through the roof which is only 1m and the roof is 45deg, so it can only be 1m from the roof surface. What is...

Is it possible to replace the door seal on a Candy CDI 1012/1-80 Dishwasher? The seal that goes around the door, not the bottom seal.

I am fitting a log burner with twin wall flue. If i have 1m vertical from top of the stove, then horizontal through brick cavity outside wall, then 3m vertical on the outside, will the horizontal section affect the draw up the chimney? Or should i go through wall at 45deg?

Yes it does dissapear with a bulb connected, so it looks like there is not a problem, and the bulb that blew must have blown for no reason, cheers.

It looks like TN-S, the earth exits the main feed in cable and goes seperately into the house under the floorboard level, Live and Neutral going to the switch box. Ok, so 240V between live and earth is ok, so that is not a problem. I have checked the switched output to the ceiling light...

I'm not sure if it is TN-S, TN-C-S, or TT

I measure 0.7Vac between Neutral and earth.

Holmslaw You say i should have 240V between Live and earth, i thought i should only have 240V between neutral and live??

Metrix meter, set to auto ranging ohms. The reason i started looking at this problem is because i fitted a new bulb into a ceiling light that has not been used for a while and it blew the bulb. So i measured the wiring to the light and it had 240V between live and earth. But i have lots of...

If i put my meter across Neutral and earth with the mains switched on the meter fluctuates between short circuit and hi resistance. If i measure between Live and earth i get constant 240Vac. If i turn off the mains i dont get a short between Neutral and earth. What could be causing this, and...

I checked the restrictor and could blow through it so i guess it is ok. I am going to have to go the new fan route.

Yes i worked that out a while ago, i wondered if any experts out there had come across the problem before.

Tubes are fine, no kinks, aluminium pipes between flue and pressure switch have no leaks, its a mystery. Is it possible the fans lose power with age?
