    Unvented system wiring help

    Sounds like you need to get someone in who knows what they are doing. Why is there a two port valve on the system if it's not connected via a boiler?

    Fitting Hive 2 to a oil boiler in Spain

    Don't put that back plate on where the thermostat is though. That just wants to go next to the boiler. connected like Lee said. The thermostat just runs off batteries and recieves a wireless signal. Can be fixed anywhere on the house (within reason)

    8.5kw shower wires in 4mm, burnt terminals

    8.5kw shower wires in 4mm, burnt terminals

    That is a narrow stud Thankfully always 4x2 with the joiners we work with. Would not like to terminate a 10mm in anything less than a double 47mm box. To be honest don't like wirring showers fullstop :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

    8.5kw shower wires in 4mm, burnt terminals

    Good luck. Is that due to cable running through alot of insulation? Never seen a 16mm at a shower before. At least you can install a double 47mm metal box in the stud partition

    8.5kw shower wires in 4mm, burnt terminals

    Hi wilko. Yes that was indeed the problem. Only been in for 8 months, so someone with plastic wrists must of installed it. I just think it's good practice to always install a 10mm cable for a new shower install.

    Might of been better to get a nest. The back plate you have shown does not go where the thermostat is. You can put that next to the boiler. The thermostat connects through your broadband connection

    The wires will pull out, normally only need terminals 2 and 5

    8.5kw shower wires in 4mm, burnt terminals

    You're quite right. I always tighten connections. Leave them a minute to settle then u can normally get another quatre turn on them. The reason we always wire a new shower supply in 10mm, is so the customer has some flexibility when coming to choose a shower. And like ive seen before, when the...

    8.5kw shower wires in 4mm, burnt terminals

    I had a similar situation yesterday. Reports of shower isolator getting hot. Go to check it out. 6mm installed last year supplying a 9.5kw shower. Burnt out connections. I would always install a 10mm if wirring for a new shower.

    I think devonchris might of been on the drink, if he thinks someone would get there paintbrush out, and start painting the copper strands black :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

    If it was PME. Both stranded cores would go into the neutral terminal, with the main earth being tapped off from there

    Opinion on Supply System Type Wanted: TN-S or TN-C-S

    I would agree with that. My father is a cable jointer for enw and have showed him the picture. This was his reply It looks like 16 or 26 mm single phase split cable or scne which is separately combined neutral & earth

    Texecom Veritas 8 Stand alone keypad button replacement

    Looks like there are two clips holding the front housing. Unclip the front housing and that will reveal the screws attaching it to the panal. Make sure u power down the panel before attempting. I should note I am not an alarm engineer, and am just going off what I can see in the photo

    You're very lucky then. Could of ended up alot worse. Cant call him an electrician if he told you to cut the cpc. He wasnt the same guy who came to do some fault finding.
