Home Hub do Origin ones which look quite good

That why I quite liked the cone shaped adaptor from 110 > 50, as that would wash quite nicely from the shower. I’ve just never seen these in the shops

Where did you get the 110mm to 50mm reducer, with the 'cone' like shape, as that looks quite a nice piece, not seen before

Thx - think I’ll have to get one!

Hi, Any suggestions on options for a cost effective metal enclosure, needs to be about 600mm wide and accommodate 4 DIN rails high. Been looking at the Future Automation LXN4's, but wondering if there are any other options I should be looking at. Thanks, Alex

Most basic switches (POE excluded) are about the same, and most use the same chips underneath. The Ubiquiti unifi kit is pretty good for soho / semi pro. It allows a bit of management too, but comes at a price premium over the cheaper unmanaged switches

For hardwired you can use Shelly modules. https://www.shelly.com/en-gb/products/product-overview/shelly-pro-3 I've used the above, which allows you to create schedules for on / off etc.

I'm planning to do the same using a Zehnder ComfoAir Q 350. Are you going to use attenuators before the supply / return manifolds. What made you decide on rigid Lindab Safe ductwork over flexible plastics? Thx Alex

In plastic you would either use a back entry gully and a 90' to bring the 110mm pipe vertically or move the gully closer to the wall and put the downpipe into the grate on actual gully

In my experience MCS are pretty useless at helping apart from giving you a directory of local PV installers. Some of the smaller more boutique PV installers will do a site assessment for a couple of hundred £ and at least give the home owner a safety peace of mind. They will probably come back with recommendations re DC surge protection etc, but much like all electrical systems installed 5+ years ago there will always be 'new' recommendations.

Hi, We are putting our ASHP buffer + hot water cylinder in the garage (attached to the house). Above this is living accommodation so we need to have a minimum of 30 minute fire resistance. It makes sense to put the underfloor heating manifold in here too, so we'd need 6 pairs (12 total) of 16mm MLCP pipe through the 'wall' and seal appropriately. Does anyone have any good suggestions, the builder wants to fireboard + mastic around. Thx Alex
