I have a pretty basic question on suitability of a shower digital mixer valve. Checked with the the manufacturer Mira, who insisted that it should only be used with their shower heads, etc. Asked why, looked around, etc but can't seem to find a clear answer why.
Basically I have read the manual...

Hi just looking to see if anyone has seen these particular actuators in 24V? there are no details on the actuator I have and it isn't motoring I suspect that during the course of a recent panel upgrade someone has sent a 24v supply to the actuator that I assume is 240v.

Apologies if I'm posting this question in the wrong forum. I have an old valve radio that has been rewired internally so is basically sound. The problem is it has no provision for a protective earth, the internal chassis is wired to neutral (was live before rewiring!) and it is far from double...
