24V gate - what size cables for 25m in duct run?
Nickfromwales replied to readiescards's topic in Electrics - Other
Why do you need to dig it up ? Isn't it cheaper and easier to pull a HO5 or HO7 cable through and leave it submerged? Just a 2.5mm2 3.core flex then with an cat6 for comms / accessory switching. -
@Visti Rough as toast sketch. You can omit the buffer but its its better to have it in to help regulate the delivery from the HP and mitigate against short cycling when the house is up to temp.

The body drier will be a bigger fire bridge.

Bingo. But available from the CT1 family too. http://www.wilsonspaints.co.uk/product/c-tec-ct1-fsb-fire-seal-n-bond/

CT1 would bridge and maintain the vcl.

Should I make building control and for what application?
Nickfromwales replied to legepe's topic in Building Regulations
Not a good idea to have pipes ( central heating ) and cables in the same void unless the pipes are well insulated. The heat transferred to any cables would reduce their current carrying capacity and the circuit would need derating accordingly. Running the pipes around to minimise wall clutter / chasing is a good idea, but the cables I'd keep up the walls if it were me. -

Hi and welcome. Theres plenty of merit for getting your ducks in a row . Better to ask now than when things are being held up by it.

i have a feeling you may be right Just thought with an all ipad / all iphone house it would be easier to chop stuff between devices when on the go with the ipad and at home with the mac. Should it really be this difficult? Thats a neat solution, but the closest i can see with a quick search is Lucidchart.com. Any others with a similar library? Decision time......

That makes sense now, thanks. If one gauge is fitted at the lower station, and another at the upper station, then the system was commissioned at say 2 bar, it would then clearly show the differential in pressure between the two heights. Handy for then setting the pre charge values accordingly.
-
None at all, and tbh it'll have lower resistance than 25mm so you would ( marginally ) benefit from going bigger. Marginally. .
-
Pressure gauge not pressure switch ? Also, if there's a EV at the lower location and the local pressure is circa 1bar higher than at the house, remember to set the back ( pre ) charge pressure in the upper vessels accordingly. More pre-change pressure for the lower and slightly less pre charge pressure for the upper EV's. Jeremy, I remember the Zimlet 300l horizontal I fitted a while back had a 1/2" tapping at each end, which I simply blanked off. Iirc those trappings were somehow connected to the stored water, rather than the pre charge chamber. Is that how you found yours to be?

I'm on iPad right now and did the above When the box pops up it should have the text already in the box. Like this. Then just tap on that text to get a cursor and then tap again to get the slelct - select all tab. Choose select all. Then select all, then copy and your done. Just try again. If you duplicate post I'll just delete it for you -

Top right hand corner of each post 'box' has a feint square. Next to that, to the left, is a ( hyperlink ) symbol thingamijig which you press once and a box pops up with the link details. Select, then select all, then copy. Tap the text box to get rid of the details and then go to the destination thread. Press paste and give it a couple of seconds and it'll pop in as a quote style link in all its glory. Like that. ? -
BCO made it CRYSTAL clear to my customer that to get a temporary certificate of habitation the gas, electricity and EPC absolutely MUST be in place / complete / registered PRIOR to her moving in. He insisted on seeing the electrical certification and gas certification in person and was happy to wait for them to arrive electronically, but the EPC he wanted email confirmation of.

Still needs the major bits signed off .

You cannot move in without it. Electrics, fire & smoke and gas etc where applicable are all covered by it. ?

You can slow them down to as little as 5lpm iirc. Then 7, then 9 and so on. Like these Or inline external ones -

Hansgrohe - Bath Filling
Nickfromwales replied to Barney12's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
The iboxes are as good as the showers. They come with a fitted 2-way bridge that connects cold in to outlet 1, and hot in to outlet 2 etc so you can fit the ibox, cap the remote outlets and pressure test, and then connect a bit of flexi to the outlets in order to fully flush the system before mounting the chosen control valve. Excellent bits of kit imo, and worth every penny.
