My last job of the day today and I put a clip in to what I thought was the top of a skirting board. WRONG!
The hissing noise and the smell of gas convinced me otherwise!!!
Hello, new to this posting malarky. I've been asked to look at an installation that was never signed off by the council, I spoke to the building inspector and we agreed a course of action, however I have an issue that I can't find an answer for in the books (not to say that I haven't missed the...
Hi chaps
Just quoted for a job based on a spec which included earthing a metal oil pipe to a new rod at the plastic tank about 15 yards from the house.
The house is out in the sticks but pme. The pipe is not plastic coated that I could see so is there any reason for this? I would think this is...
Came across this where the diy customer decided to move his radiator here!
Any thoughts on PIR?
Don't have me regs to hand and cant recall a specific reg?
now im doing a pir on a large old building now because there are so many additions there are loads of plastic speed fit joints on copper pipe work now i am putting this down as not acceptable because there is no continuity on the pipe work.<BR><BR>am i right in saying this as it has never been...

am i right in saying this as it has never been picked...
If a metallic pipe work has push fit type fittings that dont provide electrical continuity what should be done
A=Leave it as it is
B=Increase the pipe size
C=Bridge with a brown bonding conductor
D=Bridge with a G/Y bonding conductor
I was thinking A ?
Thanks
Last one then i can get my self...
Been asked to quote for a CU replacement in an old rectory. First quick look (no time to do any yests yet) shows supply is from 2 separate cables from the other half of the house (house split into 2). Assumed the 10mm earth conductor that is installed on the CU led to an earth electrode but it...

Can anyone tell me if you still require main earth bond to the incoming mains water. All the pipework and central heating is plastic (except 1m of copper from combi on water and central heating). The boiler is about 5m away from incomming mains. Also the mains is a minimum of 5m of plastic MDPE...

I need to upgrade tails to 25 mm but I have to negotiate a gas pipe. The pipe is 25 mm off the wall and is a plastic pipe inside an old metal pipe. The tails need to go over or under the pipe. ( current 16mm tails do just that )
What I would like to know is, do I need to give mechanical...
I need to arrange for electric and gas tobe reconnected in a property. The incoming supply gas pipe is next to (as in 2-3cm) to the incoming electric. Is there a requirement for separation? As this is an existing property is it ok to reinstall in the same place, or will one need moving?
Hello you brilliant people,
Here is my problem, OSG says (if I remember), not to clamp bonding to soft metals. Customer has main water lead pipe coming in, stop cock, lead T to copper for kitchen etc , lead continues up burried in plaster to bathroom then to a small bit of copper, then...
hi guys
In two minds about underfloor heating, am wondering what the advantages and disadvantes are with these types of heating. I´ve installed a few electric underfloor heating systems but only on a small scale. Never come across the water pipe underfloor heating, what do you guys think is...
Got a CU change to do on a family members house. and hope to use this install at part of my Elecsa assessment
I don't think that the gas pipe is bonded at the moment but it will be a right pain running some a cable to it as its the other side of the house.
The main water bond will be fine...
Hi,
Advise needed,
Came across a gas service pipe coming into a kitchen (domestic House) up from the floor capped off, then a gap where the meter would have been, and then the rest of the pipework disapearing into the ceiling to the rest of the house.
Gas has not been in use for the last...
