  1. The bigger ones like you show usually need a 3 phase input which isn't a problem on commercial sites. You can get smaller ones like this for instance that run off of a 230V single phase supply. Look at the description. You would need a kiosk, temporary or otherwise with a 5OA Type D MCB in. That then feeding a suitably sized armoured cable to power the site transformer. Cable size is basically dependant on length of run.
  2. I was offered two of those, for nothing on site after a project had finished. All quite legit, I was just that well in with the contractor. I dithered and the scrappy took them.
  3. There's a joke there about a 5A plug in a 63A socket...
  4. I'm core drilling and grinding at the mo off a 32A plug in trannie. Just done 1.3m through solid concrete at 102/107mm dia. Core bit was frequently sticking, amps ramping up and things getting hot. No 13A fuse popped.
  5. Just find the two thread sizes and print a M/F adapter? Then do away with the barbed bit altogether.

  7. 3D print whatever you require.
  8. Wider, overhanging copings and have a hidden gutter under that?
  9. A stainless pipe or gutter, near horizontal in line with the top balustrade handrails?
  10. So basically you're after suggestions where to shove it?
  11. Run it on top of the coping and hide under some powder coated, folded sections to mimic the coping.
  12. Paint a brick effect on or stick brick slips to the pipe?
  13. My first house was a terrace. A communal footpath, serving all houses ran behind the houses with the back gardens beyond that. The sewer ran under this path. Everyone had their own manhole. It served 7 terraces and the pub on the end. It then ran along to the end terrace, up the side of that into the main sewer. I seem to recall some council or water board obligation whereby if it became blocked they always cleared it without charge.
  14. Probably worth putting a few quid on the first Great White attack being down your way soon 😬
  15. I didn't think the brown pipe solvent welded very well?
  16. 😉

  18. Just clad with timber to match the house?
  19. @oranjeboom dug down every floor in his bungalow and built back up. Check out this and his other threads:
  20. The Everbuild 202 has a de-aerator in it so less air to tamp out. Also makes the mix just "better".
  21. The 25mm EPS goes atop the Type 2 and under the DPM to yes protect the DPM from puncturing. Also EPS is damp proof. I mixed it myself. 4:1 ballast/cement mixed with Everbuild 202 Integral Waterproofer to the tub ratio. The A142 mesh hold it all together. Meant to add fibres but kept losing them!
  22. A ring spanner of the size to match the locknut can be easier than an open ender especially when the gland is close to a screw boss. (Slip over the cable end with the power off/isolated). Worst case you get someone to hold the gland side with a spanner and you knock the locknut round / tight with a sharp, flat bladed screwdriver and a hammer. The steel screwdriver tip digs into the brass etc. Last report that really, ideally space your glands so you can get a spanner on.
