  1. Well Op see you have been busy It appears to me you don’t like any one to question you, Ref MCB/RCD going off in a storm /SOLDER/FLUX/EN and yes the Vase d'expansion sanitaire . To you the following applies IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND THE ONE EYED MAN IS KING
  2. Come on keep up 1 OP short for Opel Tell us what you prefer? 2 Point taken, my team always listen to constructive criticism or they are out. 3.Now don't get rude and we do not deal with reps. 4 Sure it is not Old stock or maybe coming from different factory? 5 Down in Cassis measuring up so I expect it will be OK (Pity that eh? The team say Hi and it includes the Plumbers mmmm lovin it xxxxx
  3. OOhnererr OP Picking up the spelling now. 1.Stick to Domestic do you ? 2.Dropped the Klockner just Moeller Thought you would have known that every one in the Business does !!!!! Thanks for 3. Have a good weekend
  4. The client could not find the stle they were looking for (Price is not the issue)You pays the money and you makes your choice. Interested in your NF views OP, I was out with Moeller electrics yesterday and raised the point, The technician confirmed that the European harmonisation rules allowing EU certs, cover most Country standards.certainly on the major parts and equipment. On checking specs for materials I note this is stated and EN numbers quoted. I note that European boilers carry the same Dont forget that european harmonisation of cable colours come in fully next year just out of interest do you have Aparve sign off your industrial installations?
  5. Whilst not wanting to get involved in a dispute between you two Bob the team totally concur with you.Have all the calcs somewhere on flues/wind speeds/ down draughts/temperatures/ flue resistance and openings.ect One point. We did fit some years ago a pumice block flu that did not require a ss liner it had excecptional qualities and performed well. dammed expensive though. Never been a fan of the system of backfilling against an inflatable liner then removing .
  6. Well Molly do you want the good news ar the bad news.???? The good news is if you can only burn really dry wood, and use a de tarring agent at least twice a week, regularly sweep the chimney with a stainles steel brush (3 times a year)then there is the possibility of of it being OK. The bad news is if you burn wood with a medium to high moisture content then the tar/sap in the wood will be (as it is contained in the smoke) will condense on the walls of your cold flue It will be ok on full burn but when you shut the unit to slumber / overnight,/ the flue will start to drip with the tar and eventually fur up completely. Beleive me I have inspected a 12 inch stainless steel single skin flue with a gap of about 2 inches in the centre. The guy cleaning had to chiesel away from the chimney Top for about two days before he could get a reasonable flue/gas passage. The answer would be to renew the section from the horizontal pipe , starting from a tangential TEE and to the exit at the roof in double insulated stainless steel pipe. But this is just my view, ???? and open for debate VJ
  7. Well we must have this plumbing cracked!!! or is it the toilets????the French ARTISANS we use for the Plumbing will fit ALL uk taps, mixers, wastes, and will swage out fittings to suit. They will fit 15mm drain offs on all ceiling fed rads and put them on the drain runs instead of the silly french drain offs, although we have recently found the French equal. They love our European standard rads.with rolled tops and they want us to bring over Slipper baths at £300-00 per go. Larry the Pro One of VJ's team
  8. What are you lining the chimney with? Rule of thumb guide is a hot flue produces the best results Yes 150 mm cutters are available,make certain you have a very strong drill and one that if the cutter jams does not turn you over (slip clutch type) The least horizontal runs in a chimney the better so angle as pratical VJ and Team
  9. (The black auluminium tube) Question 1 is this aluminium or enamelled tube? (looks like an elbow with concertina bitd, then straight up the wall.) Question 2 The 23cm and 53cm is this a horizontal run? Question 3 (Then straight up the wall) is this internal or external? Question 4 What is the height before the pipe terminates? Roughly last question is the pipe going up the wall (single skin or double) or can you not tell? regards VJ and team
  10. IMHO a 6 amp MCB would be more than enough class B with a douple pole isolation switch ajacent to the Boiler Run a separate circuit in 1.5mm VJ and the Team
  11. Please explain EXACTLY how it has been installed and I will try to assist you VJ and Team
  12. (I realize this is not the manner of a house in the UK where BS ceiling rose are designed with built in terminal posts to support the application of a ring running from rose to rose. But my home in Ireland uses UK style hardware (switches and roses) but the ring, runs from switch to switch, and deploys loose terminal blocks to make the necessary connections not otherwise supported by the UK hardware. (it also makes a very sloppy arrangement at the ceiling rose, which does not have a pattress or a boite). So this is an arrangement with which I am familiar.) David the LOOP IN system which you describe for the UK is just one system,and it is not used in France You could however install a Joint Box system where the joint boxes are all accessable and here you would take line feeds to the switch and then to the light(no feed at the light untill the switch is on.) If one was installing a Conduit system in the UK the wiring of it would be exactly the same as the French system for lights. All line looped from switch to switch, switch wires to the lights and neutrals looped light to light. Reference the socket connections, Yes they are very tight so we buy terminal crimps to make it easier, but then we use multicore 2.5mm as it is easier to pull in and IMO easier to work with. Try to buy the gain with smooth bore internal as it is easier to push the draw wire into and buy the draw wire with wheel on the end so it glides through easier. Well I hope these ideas help you and I am sure there will be others to give you more info. VJ and team
  13. 3) Each interrupteur protects a single circuit Broadly speaking, yes, although there is nothing stopping you connecting (eg.) 2 lighting feeds to a single ID, provided you don't exceed the maximum number of fittings for the circuit. Not quite I'm afraid Nick. There should ever only be one set of wires (ie; phase and neutral) leaving an individual Disjoncteur, or fuse. Question Are we talking two circuits or just two feeds to one circuit so in fact you are using the Board as a joint box. For example one gain may be going out one way and another the other, but the cables all on the same circuit, you could go a matter of mm to a joint box and parallel the feed from there (assuming of course we are talking as one circuit )
  14. Reference the Back boiler on the Wood burner. If your insurance co are happy for you to do this be careful how you design the circuit. If you have a sealed system with safety valve and your system is fired up,and the pump stops and you are out, the sv can vent the system dry resultng in warped boiler. If you have open system make certain the expansion tank is large enough to keep the system refilled if the boiler is boiling over, and cold water top up can cope.and do NOT use common feed and expansion piping. Keep the inhibitor percentage correct. There are many other points to consider on this type of circuit and I am sure the (Brico Bandits )will fill you in with lots more details. Personally I remember getting up at 2 am 4 am and 6 am to refill the woodburner (with a back boiler) when it was minus 8 outside to try and keep the house warm The novelty soon wore off JustMHO PS stud just came into office and says he can think of better ways to keep warm
