My missus just showed me the LED splashback video. The coffee tables look the dogs bollocks. . Sorry, light cubes or whatever http://allthingsled.ca/2016/12/16/dec-16-16-demo/ -
Check this out for a flooring that'll save you a few pennies, or not

Bath Surround / Boxing In, and concealed pipework
Nickfromwales replied to Onoff's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
Set it up for now with the bath being the only thing that uses tank fed cold if possible. ? If that's ok I'll continue to add to this accordingly. ? -

Seeing if the £2.6k down draught extractor actually works !? -
Geberit to MVHR extraction
Nickfromwales replied to Auchlossen's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
Not suction . Sufficient airflow through the duct under flush 'flowing' condition. E.g. The equivalent air in to match the volume of water dropping. Can that happily be pulled through the duct IF that's the path it chooses to use to relieve the deficit.? -
At the stated 25a breaker rating there may well be shunt resistance allowed in that. 1.5mm2 is good for 18a nominal so 2.5mm2 would be the minimum. C curve breaker is prob best too. The cable needs to exceed the current rating of the breaker so, if 25a, then 2.5mm2 is very close. That's shows an estimated 5750w peak threshold, but they've obviously allowed some headroom. Is the 3700w stated as running or peak ( shunt ) ? Remember that you should allow for over current as well as a short circuit. That's why I'd use 4mm. ?

That isn't cheating that's a good way out. FYI if your ever half inch short , a straight coupler and an M&F 90 into that will gain you the missing length. -
I was going to brew some fresh coffee and keep at you, but just remembered I'm up at 6 to load the kids brekky into the catapult ? Nos Da!

What about with any mcb loaded board? Same thing Multi-RCD units still wipe out numerous circuits in one go. Can't really agree with that PoV TBH as I think they're a vast improvement. True circuit isolation can easily be achieved by knocking the isolator off imo, plus anyone messing around with this should examine the rcbo type before undertaking any work anyhoo. This could go on a bit

4mm if it were me. SY all the way for ease and uniformity.

Simple Pressure Tester, any recommendations?
