    Round vs oval conduit

    Some had rolled edges, but the rest, to the best of my knowledge, came ready fitted with an oval rubber grommet.

    Round vs oval conduit

    More importantly, if there's no grommet there, it can't be dislodged.

    Round vs oval conduit

    In most cases, I bring the oval conduit a few mm into the box, securing it with a dab of building adhesive if I think there's a chance it might get dislodged by 'other trades'.

    Motor configuration

    Apologies from me as well. I still had to look twice to spot it. The unusual way you've drawn it almost creates an illusion,

    Motor configuration

    In the OP's standard set up, there's a mistake, in that forward and reverse are identical. Either U1 and U2 or V1 and V2 need to be swapped around to reverse the motor. The 'as supplied' diagrams are clearly nonsense. Swapping live and neutral won't do anything, and the run capacitor is simply...

    Motor configuration

    Avo Mk8's diagram (post #4) is for small motors only, where the start and main windings can be, and are, identical.

    20mm oval conduit 99% of the time.

    Wiring underfloor heating with 3 manifolds

    I reckon, that after 13 months, the wiring design is probably sorted by now. What makes you think that three pumps might overload the circuit? The typical FLA of each is less than 1/4A.

    Wired Ring doorbell

    If the Ring doorbell worked before, you must have a transformer somewhere. This will probably, but not necessarily, be near your consumer unit, or unusually, could be part of the old chime. If the buried wiring has shorted out, you may have damaged the transformer, or blown a fuse in it.

    Without Internet

    500Mbps via overhead fibre to the middle of nowhere. Normally 100% reliable, apart from about two years ago when an over height vehicle snagged the cable where it crossed a main road about a mile away, cutting off me and six other properties. No damage to the poles - just needed a couple of...

    Water mains earthing

    It is strongly recommended that ALL the lead pipe is removed, right back to the water main. No one should be drinking water that has passed through lead pipes in 2025. If you do leave the lead and do as you propose, it's very likely that the existing earth wire, if original, is far too small in...

    Convert under cabinet lights to plug-in

    We need to see pics of the wiring connections to these fittings to advise further. Ideally they will have good strain reliefs and be suitable for two flexible cables each.

    Why is my AEG washing machine tripping my fuse box?

    Humidity sensor is for the drier only, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the electrinics won't get upset about a faulty one at other times. Your problem is likely to be a faulty water heating element.

    Ah, another human. Beginning to think that the forum was down, but for some reason I still had access.

    Well that worked. Why has there been no posts since 8.30 this morning? Where is everybody?
