Agree. It's wafer thin. Just putting gaffa tape on it and peeling it away shows just how thin it is.

It's so much better when all the kids play nicely together. .

And youll then also have one RCBO in the bank

Get a matching MCB you loon, all that'll be missing is the test button ? Saves you going back to the house to reset when you plug something in and a spike throws the RCBO.

Why don't you put RCBOs in the garage CU and feed that CU off an MCB in the house? That way you only lose one circuit at a time in the garage rather than the lot in one go ?

Spill the beans......whodunnit? Welcome to Buildhub Naj.

Unsure, but is it worth the risk of it needing to be changed in the near future with regs shifts?

Spend the money on a cu change

That RCBO is a bit random TBH. Was wondering what the merit was of fitting that. ?

@pocster Go buy a new CU and have it all tidy from the head in. That 100ma RCD is only worth scrap weight anyway as it offers no non-lethal protection. If your spending money, make it good money after good, plus it'll fly all the next checkups for years to come. There are already 10mm2 PVC earth cables to the gas meter and water stopcock so another job that doesn't need doing / paying for.

Yes...."we".

No. we should be collecting every scrap bit of PB we can and burying it in our houses to retain heat and stabilise our heating systems.

Lol. No. There can be only one........... PS are we buggering up yet another perfectly good thread ?

That's EXACTLY what I was just going to say

Hi and welcome. . Dont be shy of asking daft questions ( as I can then read the answers stealthily and look more cleverererer ). Naughty boy @jack. Gold dust like that needs to be ON the forum ( never know if I may need some of that juicy information ).

You and me both mate. If I could turn my conscience off I'd make a bloody fortune. Point being this is, all but one RCBO, front of house rcd anyway. There is no need to split or segregate and this is the guy who has a £1 meter on his missus's hairdryer so cost effective too. I'd recommend a CU change here to a modern dual RCD 17th ed board, of course, and if I was spending a few hundred THATS where I'd put my money. Safer, and 50% redundancy. You can buy a CU for less than these aforementioned bits will cost to retro fit into the existing CU so I'd go that way in a heartbeat.

There's big difference between immediately dangerous and not to current standards. This guys hoping to get an easy job. Would it not be cheaper and quicker just to ditch the single RCBO back to an MCB and fit a 30ma front-of-house RCD ? Change of £100 and less than an hours work.

Pop an ad in the 'market place' section here if you want to sell it

I would NEVER say that Hush dave, you'll get me in trouble.

According to @JSHarris's comments, PB actually has good thermal absorption and retention qualities ( worded badly by me but you get the drift ) so once the shock and horror of the suggestion wears off it may not be so bad at all. It would definitely make acoustics better, for sound deadening, and if you bonded it with foam where it was needed you'd be able to use double depth plasterboard fixings to hang heavy equipment. Just the suggestion seemed a bit 'cowboy' to me at the time, so I didn't do it.

That's pretty good going tbh, and some complex angles to meet. Less than one sheet of waste makes you a hero . I was quite taken aback when a QS once told me to reduce the PB waste removal by filling up some of the stud spaces, with the offcuts and the 50mm of rock wool sharing the same 100mm void with each other . Costs a fortune to get rid of these days too.

After building a house, that's most folk isn't it ?!? ??

Like the Impey then ? Happy days

You can get a plunger on it at plunge it clean. Tbh with the first trap that lifts out and the 50mm waste, there's not much that's going to ever go wrong. These are designed to be where they are so I'd not panic about that. The Impey linear I recently fitted had a 3 section trap; hair trap, airbreak insert and the waste / body itself. With the top two removed you can stare into the 40mm throat. excellent bit of kit.
