From my old plumbing days, I still have an old primus gas bottle, (340g) with the screw in brass top, with the adjustable burner, that is now almost empty.

Still getting the odd report about this via...

Hi Folks.Have always appreciated kinetic switches for their "get out of jail"value in problematic situations.They are a gift .However my preferred approach is to always use traditional hardwiring where possible.I am now for the first time obliged to carry out a rewire where all light switching...
There is still a bit more to be worked on I'm still struggling to finalise on the actual forums and categories. Trying to branch out a bit too with the bathroom fitters forums. Will see what that brings over the next 12 months, if it doesn't work it doesn't work and I'll pull it.
But i'm...
This is an RSS feed of thread: Mains Water Closet direct Flush valves still a rarity in UK?
Content of the thread: Just was at a caravan site in Lake District recently, which had some very interesting Delabie electronic tap and shower fittings, also direct WC flush valves which worked...
All the specific guidance I can find stating that underfloor heating is notifiable seems to refer to an outdated version of Part P, and I’m trying to understand why generally everywhere still treats it as notifiable.
If a dedicated cable already exists from the consumer unit (so no new circuits...
On the Napit certification page there is a little tick box, saying something along the lines of ' I consent to this job being used for my assessment '.
Does this mean Napit makes its own choice, from that list, or do we still choose which job is used for the assessment?
I haven't received part of my order from superlec. Its been 3 months. Lots of phone calls, lots of promises, nothing happens.

All I've done to date is put in the 1st fix for any units.

Hi all,
I am an experienced DIY electrician and I just wanted to ask a quick question about something since I am new to this forum, if it hasn’t really been answered anywhere else.
The question I have in mind is how come most electrical manufacturers still make single gang (25, 35mm etc) back...
Hello everyone. I've been reading stories of people failing their AM2 on section B initial verification. I'm going back in my head and I think I forgot to functional test the solar.
The assessor wasn't always in the room, and if he was he wasn't watching us that closely.
My question is, how...
I have had an EICR carried out by a NAPIT member, but I have noticed the certificate states ‘The inspection and testing detailed within this report and accompanying schedule has been carried out in accordance with BS 7671: 2018 amended to 2020’
Does this make my certificate invalid as I have...
I have an original 250w glow plug in my 8yr old pellet boiler that's used to light the pellets during the start up phase on my boiler. The boiler has been tripping the fuse on around 50-60% of the start-up cycles. Using a bit of trial & error I think I've narrowed it down to the glow plug :)...

Am I right to presume RCD wasn’t...
