I will be moving home in the not too distant future and will probably want to re-wire the place as the existing electrical installation is far from adequate for todays needs. It may not all happen at once but i was thinking of running in the cables to various locations in order to utilise them...

m107 has done some fine work and he is brave posting pictures. If i put some on i am sure that it would not meet with everyones approval

I`m no expert but i do not see any crimp lugs on your main earth bond terminations and the twin and earth to the outside light may raise a few eyebrows.

Thank`s for clearing that up. Much appreciated

Thanks CJS i knew about the permanent live part. I was referring to the core coming back from the pipe stat to the wiring centre. I re-read my first post and it probably sounded as though i was asking if you connected it in with the permanent live going to the boiler. What i meant was LR going...

Hi all, can someone tell me where you connect the return from a pipe stat, into a y plan wiring centre, does it go in with the white of the mid position valve or can it go directly in with the boiler live? Y plan virgin so just trying to get a head start before i get there. Thank`s in advance...

Thank`s for the replies everyone. There is already a 32 amp mcb in place is was just debating upon whether to downrate it or not

16.8 amps

It probably won`t be increased for some time yet as it is a new cooker. Thank`s for the speedy response. The main concern that i had was if the cooker was in use and they decided to use a kettle at the same time as there is a soccket outlet on the ccu

After calculating for diversity it equates to 17 amps. This is a cooker circuit, wired in 6mm

When i ripped mine out there was a metal plate where the flue liner passed through to meet the connection on the fire/back boiler. On top of this plate there was also a brick built liner inside of the chimney breast. Quite a few courses as i remember.

Yeah the boiler has connections for permanent live, S/L and L/P Just found some info on the net that says that the timed pump over run comes from the permanent live through the PCB so i guess that answers my question about seperating them in the wiring centre

Hi all, trying to get up to speed on central heating wiring centre`s. Looking at a SALUS diagram it shows terminals 12-boiler live, 13-pump live and 14-call from the cylinder stat all linked together in the wiring centre. My question is: if it is a y plan fully pumped system with a pump not...

Same opinion as lurch regarding the tail copper. The unused conductors should also be terminated to earth and not just taped up

I may be squatting soon if things do not pick up

Been un-employed now for over 3 months. No one recruiting in my area

I was intending to leave the cables terminated above the ceiling

You are bang on the money tom1. I did not want to add anything to existing circuits in response to spinlondon, i wanted to strip out the accessory such as the socket outlets and lights in the area concerned, terminate the cables and then start afresh with a new install. Removing the cables...

Sort of defeats the object of the new circuit then i think. Could be a very messy can of worms

I understand, so if i remove a socket outlet and terminate the cable safely i can just list this on the certificate. Would i have to test the circuit that i removed the socket outlet from.
