Hi everyone, new member here. I was an electrician some years ago but only qualified to 16th edition regs so very rusty. My question is can anyone point out to me where in the 18th edition regs it says you cannot install 230v extractor fans in zone one of a bathroom?
The reason I'm asking is I...
Apologies if this appears like a simple question. I have carried out a survey of a Zone 2 area and one piece of equipment, an enclosure, is fitted and only identifiable by manufacturers name plate and a stuck on EEx ia sticker. No Atex data plate. The previous survey (visual) gave some...

Hi all I'm new to this website and am only just starting my training into the electrical world
My problem is that I'm running cables whilst my gaffer (trainer)is away for a week but the punter has stopped me dead in my tracks with a question
He has fitted a zone port valve himself so that he...
Hi guys, I haven't done much in the past with fire alarms but am starting to get more work leads with them so it is something I want to get into. Does anybody have a fire alarm zone fault checklist they wouldn't mind sharing please and what are the most common FA panel keys? By the looks of...
Hi guys and girls,
So im fitting a new ring final circuit (I did advise a radial) in a newly built extension. the least disruptive way of feeding the cables to the extension is up into the ceiling void and along through the 1st floor bathroom floor (The client has had the common sense to not...
Hi Guys,
I have a multi-manifold underfloor heating system. The multi-zone manifolds all operate nicely turning things on and off as appropriate according to the main timer and the zone thermostats. The single zone doesn't listen to the thermostat and only obeys the central timer (ie on or...
Hi All
Hope you can help. I have a Aritech CS350 and the decorator disconnected 2 x PIR’s. I then replaced the covers, but kept the internals and rewired them as before - I believe.
However now one of the PIR’s won’t allow the alarm to be set as it says the zone is open.
I’ve double checked...
Hi, so someone decided to put a bathtub under a boiler and electric extractor fan. Half the bathtub is taken up by the boiler. It has a cupboard around the top and the sides, but the base and pipes going into the wall are exposed. More space will go if a shower mixer is installed and there is an...

None of my vans meet this so now looking to get new vans.
As above really. I normally set them up using wintex and it’s a easy....How ever I’ve lost my lead and couldn’t get one locally today. I’ve set it all up using the RKP and works a treat, the only thing I’m struggling with is naming the zones like landing, entrance, main office etc. is it...
Hi,
I want to renew the wiring going to some lights in the bathroom (zone 1). They are protected by a 30mA RCD on the CU. Is this sufficient, or should there be a separate 30mA RCD dedicated to just those lights?
Thanks,
Alan
Does the non opening side of a typical perspex shower cubicle represent a "permanent fixed partition"?
Having a "discussion" with a colleague regarding the "plan" diagram p.89 OSG (yellow). Discussion centres around whether the PFP needs to be a wall or just the standard perspex cubicle side...
Hi all

I've a pal looking for a little help.
They want to install outdoor lighting (a mix of CFL , GU10 and possibly LED Fittings) within 4 pir zones controlling approx 4 - 6 lights per zone. All the wiring is going back to a garage where a system unit will be mounted. He wants to then mount a control...
Evening all. This afternoon I've been have a look at the heating system install at a recent rewire. During first fix the wiring center location was agreed with the plumber.
It's an S-plan with ufh, however the zone valves are located 4m apart so neither of the standard zone valve cables will...
Just installed a Honeywell Accenta alarm and having some trouble with a zone. Basically, when the alarm is set and the front door contact is broke, the alarm gives me time to put the code in to deactivate. Unfortunately the PIR in the hallway is activated and triggers the alarm to go off fully...
Hi, so I have 3 zone valves in place for my heating;
1 - for underfloor heating
2 - 1st floor heating
3 - 2nd floor heating
for some reason the plumber has put a zone valve at the pump of the manifold.
The 2nd floor has a missing room stat cable so will have to opt for a receiver for a...
