thanks ericmark I think I maybe didn't describe what I thought was called a chocbox very well. It's a small plastic box in which you can place a strip connector and the box- once all connections have been made - snaps shut and has a small screw to secure the lid as well. So no chance of somebody acc...

hm, I didn't realise I had to put anything between supply cable and transformer. Does it have to be one of those round junction boxes used in the lighting circuit and does it have to be fused? or could i use a chocbox with strip connectors ( never used a chocbox, read about it in the projects, looks...

thanks chris keeping the drain cock low makes sense and would solve the issue of it not looking very good further up the wall. The existing rad is in an extension and it had to be on an inverted loop (plumbob, that's what the DIY manual calls it I didn't make it up :) ) as all our ground floor is so...

Thanks roseberry

That all makes sense. I have not been able to carry on with the project until this weekend. I will raise the shower tray and that should solve the drainage problem. I now have to decide on the type of shower, hopefully the forum will have lots of advice on that.
thanks again

The radiator at the moment is on an inverted loop and has a drain at the bottom. My question is, can I just replicate the whole...

Do I need to increase the height of this stack to allow for the shower and if so how high do I need to go? Also, the toilet and existing basin are connected to this stack, with the b...
