If inverters cut out at 253 volts, what's the issue ? The DNO should be able to provide the provision for that in THEIR infrastructure surely ? Wheres the nearest dwelling that would be 'adversely affected' by this uplift, on lines which are good for a lightning strike or 3 bursts of direct short circuit . ? Sounds like a load of BS to me. "Free upgrade" must be their agenda.
-
Can the inverter be set to dump to a resistive load to cap the max uplift in local voltage ?
-
Ideas please: how to fill this gap.

Is that all outside of your airtight layer? If so, EPS / foam ( or use PIR offcuts ) and move on. ? -
6 months leadtime ..I almost SHIPPED a Brick !

The horizontal runs of 110mm underground ( orange ) pipework. How far are they between supported pads / junctions ?- 45 replies

Good point here here about the meter and the fuse being moved by different bodies .

Get a sparky lined up to put a temporary CU in ( a 'garage' CU with 2 x 20a MCBs and a 40a RCD up front will suffice ). Get that made off to 2 x metal clad 13a double sockets for site power, all contained in the meter box.

Oh and yes, the soil runs should have support at predetermined intervals, so has you BCO inspected and passed these yet?- 45 replies

In pic 5 you'd have thought the outer open end of those runs would have started off with a beam. Have they worked to a B&B design from an SE ? Good to hear they admitted the pads were a load of bollocks. Drilling them will take minutes. Why exactly are they talking so much BS?- 45 replies

Best to remember the distribution amp will do little or nowt to the incoming signals quality or strength. All it will really do is amplify and compensate for the signal being 'consumed' by multiple sets at the same time. You need to start off with a clear, strong signal from the mast before dividing it. As a friend told me when working in the PA business, if you amplify a whisper it doesn't turn into a shout, you just get the whisper coming out louder. .

Are the guide and stock of the bending machine clean ? That causes all sorts of problems if not. -
Yup. Connection to a stack and backflow of stench is the same regardless of pipe size.

The 110mm trap body pushes into the soil pipe fitting which is as good as it gets.

If you look at that linked trap, it's ( I think ) the same as the Impey vertical wastes that go straight into a 110mm pipe. I'll post a pic in a mo.

Your going to get your chain yanked a bit if you post up pics of the house of the year I thought you were joking until I read it twice, but you are, of course, having a front door that's scaled to the house Not far to go now ?

Hmmm. Thought a few schematics off those sites may have shown the item with a part number. All seem to be fed by open 'funnels'. ''Tis hard work, this little bugger. ? -

Separates the boys from the men IMO. A LOT of plastic heros out there since pushfit was born.
