    Electricidy is like water in a pipe analogy

    Anyone remember this when you first started learning about electricidy? It did help and was a reasonable analogy as electrons do flow. Even Kirchoff used this analogy when he made his circuit laws. Now lets turn it around! Plumbing is like electricidy in a wire. SO IF YOU GET WET YOUR DEAD:)...

    Plumbing Related Wonderings!

    We recently had an unvented cylinder installed (to replace an old vented one) and the higher pressure of the hot water has made us realise how crap the tap is on the kitchen sink. Had a wee look under the sink and discovered that I have no isolating valve on the hot pipe! Would I be right in...

    I know its partly a plumbing question, but.......

    ...it's the sort of thing a domestic electrician may know. Is it actually illegal for a householder in his own home with no plumbing qualifications to turn off his water stop tap and cut the water inlet hose to their own washing machine whilst the hose is connected to the ball-valve adaptor...

    Marketing Question: Learn plumbing, gas etc?

    It seems some companies here offer more services than the yellow pages. Is this the same in the UK? I remember my childhood electricians as electricians, carpenters as carpenters and plumbers as plumbers. Will this affect the quality of work done? Although as an electrician that depends on...
