This may sound stupid but the taps above and below my pump; what are they there for and should they be all the way to the left or right (im guessing left when I want them open!?) Thanks

Hi, I have been in my house for 2 years now. We have a thorne apollo heater which when you switch it on for hot water, you have to have the radiators on too and can be a right pain in the summer months. As far I am aware, this is a conventional system and we have an immersion heater in the...

how can i tell if my sockets are ring or radial??

adding a cooker hood in kitchen. want to come off a socket but the nearest and most convenient socket is a spur off the ring main. I know that this is not allowed but would it be ok if I added a 3 amp FCU for the cooker hood? Hope someone can help

the cooker circuit is 6mm. my ring main is 2mm/2.5mm

It looks like I have confused a few ppl here! I'm sorry!! I am going to spur for my hood from the ring main. So 1.5mm will be ok for that and then stick a 3 amp FCU on the spur?

I am installing a cooker hood, I have looked at one of my double sockets and it is a spur, I know its not good practice to spur off a spur but as it will be protected by a 3amp FCU, would this be ok?

Lets get this right then!! I am a motorways engineer and have experience in installing and connecting up electrical circuits and carrying out electrical testing. I was asking the question as this is a forum which gives advice and I needed some advice so the smarmy comments don't help. I am...

hello mate, just done what you want to do. I used a 45amp junction box. is it a free standing cooker?

Thanks, Take it I'd have to be part P. I've got my 16th edition! JS

Hi all, I need to add a spur to my cooker circuit. the circuit currently feeds my freestanding electric cooker but is soon to be replaced by a built in cooker which can be plugged in by a 13amp plug. I need to add a fused spur for my cooker hood; the cable which will feed the spur is 6mm...

Thanks very much for the help. Would I be able to run my spur for my cooker hood off the cooker circuit or would it have to be seperate? I'd just run a 2.5mil spur then have a 3 amp fuse connecting to my cooker hood? Thanks again. J Sharp

what cable should I use for the spur?would 2.5 mil do?

"plate" meaning front cover, I was thinking that if I only have to plug the new oven in, I can get rid of the 6mil cable running from the cooker switch to the cooker and replace the cooker switch with a double socket and simply plug my 13 amp plug in. Sorry if I am confusing you!
