    Solid door recomendations

    I have a house that has an attached self contained unit (granny flat). We are about to accomodate a Ukrainian refugee. There is a cheap panel door between the main property and the granny flat.

    Radiator valve replacement unsure how to connect microbore.

    Yep. I'm going to get the Danfoss RA posted by JImCrow. (Thanks). I originally printed an M30 adaptor for the actuator which worked, but a bit delicate. I thought I could use the same valve as I had used upstairs, but it is too much hastle. I can also get a metal adaptor for the M30 thread, if...

    In the attached picture: The valve I am holding is the new valve. The one currently fitted has microbore going into a female 1/2 inch connection on the existing valve. I'm just trying to plan what parts I need before I crack open the connection to the existing valve. I'd rather not drian the...

    Radiator valve replacement unsure how to connect microbore.

    If I could get the same valve which took microbore I would buy that, but it needs to be 30mm thread on the TRV side. I'm home automating it at the same time.

I'm replacing it with this: https://www.stevensonplumbing.co.uk/myson-trv-2-way-valve-body-only.html I am unsure of the best way to connect the microbore into the valve. Currently it looks like it has a microbore to...

    Smart meter wiring confusion

    I'll need to dig out the smart meter display (it wasn't connecting when I first moved into the house). Reason I didn't think it was like your diagram was becasuse what you have marked as supply [8] is thinner than [1]. [8] goes to 60A fuse [1] goes to 100A fuse/breaker I would have thought that...
