Re: 17th Edition. Where do all the bits go?

Thanks to you all for your excellent advice. You've helped me to update my thinking a bit. I'm tending towards the advice from Sparx i.e. do all the channelling and letting in of the boxes and the routing of the cable under the supervision of a leckie and get him to wire it up. The consumer unit mov...

Re: Sizing pipes for pressurised domestic water system

Thanks again. Once last question and it's me being a bit dim. On one of my posts, I'd asked: "Regardless of the input to the cylinder, all cold feeds to the rest of the house can be in 15mm including the bath." and you replied: Use 22mm pipe anywhere the hot* and cold supplies share the sa...

Re: Sizing pipes for pressurised domestic water system

That's brilliant, thanks. Another question. With the distances I've got, is it worth installing a pumped hot water circuit with a return? I'm concerned that the run off fo rthe kitchen, which is the furtherest point from the cylinder is going to waste a lot of water waiting for it to get hot. How wo...

17th Edition. Where do all the bits go?

I rewired my own house about 10 years ago. I've now bought a restoration project. I understand that 17th edition and Part P have changed things from the last time I did this, but still want to do a lot of the donkey work myself. I certainly want to lay in the cable and fit the wall boxes to save a l...

Re: Sizing pipes for pressurised domestic water system

Thanks Plumbob. We have influence over the size of the water main because we're getting a new connection from the water meter to a new stopcock. The new stopcock will only be about 2.5m from the pressurised tank and I am also in an area that has really good water pressure. Would it make sense specif...

Sizing pipes for pressurised domestic water system

I'm renovating a cottage. We're geting a pressurised unvented hot water tank run from an airsource heatpump fitted by an installer, but I want to do the rest of the plumbing myself. We're planning three en-suites, each with shower, basin and toilet. One will have a bath as well. Planning to run all ...
