I have had a call from a guy who is looking at installing a whirlppol bath, i have not seen the bath or house or instructions but my first thoughts were an fcu outside the bathroom connected to the upstairs ring, then I thought what if its an old system with no rcd protection? so i thought rcd...
Hi Guys!!
Long time no speaky.
I've come across a problem that I need a little help with. My colleague was called out the other month to a house where they kept getting shocks off the bathroom taps. He called me up for some advice over the phone and we found out that the main bonding was...
I am in need of a new bath as I broke nine last night (nothin to do with my weight) I had a slight accident after a lemonade or 2, so if anyone in the northWest area has or knows of a bath going cheap then I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Hi. Situation: A new reitirement home has assitted baths installed in twin & earth with 50mm depth and with ceiling mounted pull switch. The supply is under the bath enclosure and is hard wired. Keeping in mind the controls will be handle by a skilled person (nures etc.) The circuit chart shows...
Can anybody recommend some good (and reasonably priced) roof surveyors in the Bath area. I'm required by NAPIT to have one done for a solar installation.
Thanks

Anyone ever seen this before? The intake at the back of the bath just behind taps, and fuse board just above bath taps in a cupboard.. Would you code this?
It's hard to see there but there's the supply cable coming up from floor, a 6mm earth onto the armouring, then tails from the cut out, this...
Hi guys, My common sense says that if there is no tap, w/basin, bath or shower i.e. just a toilet, then having a double socket on the wall at 230 cm high position should be ok. Any suggestions or comments please?!!
As the title says. The shaver socket has been 1st fixed on the right hand side of the wash basin, but due to the close proximity of the bath, the shaver socket falls just inside the edge of the bath.Wil this need to be moved? If so how far?
Hi Guys
First post here, I am a plumber and have been asked to change a shower pump which is currently sited under the bath. It is fed from a fused spur screwed to the floor under the bath. I want to know where I stand with the regs in regard to changing the pump and joining onto the fused...
Hello everyone
Need a bit of advise I have been asked to install a bath in a room that was previously a wet room for a disabled person. Now as per usual the customers don't want to spend a lot of money.
At the moment there is an electric shower installed at a height of approximately 750mm to...
I came across a rather nice bedrrom the other day which also had a bath in it, it was kind of an extension off the bedroom, but no door or partition. Sockets in the bedroom end were closer than the 3 meter reg.
What would this be coded (if any?) if a PIR was carried out. Wiring was in the new...
a periodic report reports that a water heater is not allowed in zone one. the 2.5 supply cable is clipped direct going into the bottom of the heaters. the heaters store more than 15 litres. regs wise whats the deal. how do i make them comply without moving them. rcd yes but what else? thanks
I currently have 240V IP65 down lights in the ceiling above my bath. I'm in the process of fitting a wall mounted shower head which will be very close (200mm) away from the ceiling down light.
Is this ok?
For info the circuit is RCD protected.
