    SWA only or T+E joined to SWA for new garage supply

    Thanks both. Yes, point taken, I will get the electrician in before i do anything. Can anybody answer the question about how to run continuous SWA through a wall though - as a curiosity. (I need to plan around this).

    SWA only or T+E joined to SWA for new garage supply

    Thank you all very much for the valuable help. I think I will focus on installing SWA from the supply in the house all the way in one run. This being the case, a couple of quick follow on questions please: a) It is mentioned that if T+E comes within 50mm of surface then it must be protected...

    SWA only or T+E joined to SWA for new garage supply

    Hi, I need to put a new supply to garage as old supply is a 2.5mm T+E spur off of ring main which runs overhead outside! Is it standard to a) run the SWA all the way from the house CU all the way to the CU in the garage in one continuous run or b) run T+E from the house CU to a junction box...

    Electric Hot Water Heater

    Thanks - I will ask a plumber here. I think that my device is a relief valve as it I have just had a look at some videos on youtube and it is exactly the same as all of the temp / pressure relief valves used as standard on the American electric water heaters. Anyway, thanks for your help, I...

    Electric Hot Water Heater

    Thanks for the quick answer. I see what you mean, but that has made me even more unsure :( . I guess the question is this. Presuming that I can get away with using what was provided in the box, does it go in the cold inlet or should it go on the hot outlet. Looking at the picture from the...

    Floor Drain without trap

    I'm not quite understanding the current set up. Is the floor drain open at the moment, a horizontal drain level with the tiles that can drain water from the floor, for example. If this is open at the moment and you are not suffering from any bad smells I would be very suprised. If this is...

    Electric Hot Water Heater

    Mix and Match Air con

    Hi Richard and thanks. I will budget for three independent units and just come to terms with the asthetic blight on the terrace. The website you linked to is very interesting as the prices are very keen - thanks. As for busman's holiday - well I would be up for it, but I don't think you...

    Mix and Match Air con

    Thanks again. This is exactly the sort of thing that i need to know, I appreciate it. I am going to avoid the multi splits on your advice but i cannot put 4 units on the terrace. Can i trouble you with one last question please. It is the one about how many units to use, given the overall...

    Mix and Match Air con

    Thanks for the answer, so I need to find a fully compatible system if i am going to do this. I gather from further reading that i cannot simply use a bigger outside unit and use several internal ones either - i need a bespoke multi outside fan for this function - is this correct? I see...

    Mix and Match Air con

    Hi All, I'm in the plumbing and heating section, but I think it is the nearest for an Air Con question - so here goes. I am refurbing a flat in Spain and I want to install a combined air con and heat system. I will use the two part units, being the fan unit outside and the inverter in...

    Correct Expansion Vessel Pressure

    Hi all, I have just replaced an expansion vessel which is connected to the feed of an unvented hot water cylinder. The old one was completely full of water and not functioning. The new one is doing much better and sounds hollow at the top and water filled at the bottom - so that is all good...

    radiators on with hot water

    Hi guys and thanks for the feedback. I think that probably clears it up then. I have done a little more research and notice that there are several return branches beyond the cylinder one. As the boiler return travels back throught the ceiling several of the radiator loops come back that way...

    radiators on with hot water

    Hi all, I realise this is a reasonably well trodden path but I can't find the exact topic covered. I have an s-plan system with an external boiler. this means that the feed and return from the boiler to the rest of the gubbins in quite a long way (~10m) The feed comes from the boiler...

    Bathroom Cabinet - fused spur

    Thanks for a genuine helpful answer - i appreciate it. All of it is a spur off of the lighting circuit which is protected as you say. I will take your advise and assume that we are going to start a new spur from the lighting circuit for the cabinet and that we will be incorporating a fused...
