Carp herpesvirus? But if they don't use toilet seats, how they gonna explain it to the missus?

Bet you that 15A extension lead has the same diameter copper as a 10A lead. Most likely 1.75mm2 (flex copper has more strands and can therefore handle slightly more current due to an effect called electron fleecing whereby the electrons have a tendency to flow around the outside of a conductor)...

No way you can make recommendations without knowledge of the installation. There's no way of knowing what cable is in use or how it's ran or whose worked on it previously. That advice is unsafe. If the op draws 20A through 15A fuse wire it will eventually blow. Same as if the op comes comes in...

Be aware that if your power circuit is on one of those rewirable ceramic fuses as detailed in one of your other threads, it might not be using the right current rated fuse wire. Very common practice for tenants to up the wire size to 'fix' blowing fuses. Do yourself a favour and get some more...

What's the rating of your main switch? Do you only have one power circuit?

Someone gave us a little serrated Zwilling/Henckel knife awhile back. Brilliant on tommies.

5 star elements. On phone, can't link.

No.

This one set me back a couple of hundred with 10% off through paypal. A bit pricey but I've held off on a good chef's knife for too long and don't regret it. There are a lot of less expensive options but TBH, nothing looks quite so distinctive. Also, a 15hr shift at double bubble made it all too...

Well, four years later and I finally dropped the coin on a Shun. Man, this thing is sharp. The handle is ambidextrous so no lefty woes there. It's the Kiritsuke model so the belly is not as deep as some of the other models and the steel slightly harder than the classics. Very happy with it and...

Just to clarify, 0 is not meaningless. It will pause and maintain the programmed step. Perfect for holding mash out temps until you finish mowing the lawn.

A tapered male thread doesn't need a tapered female thread to seal. It will seal into a parallel thread via an interference fit. But selling a tapered thread thermowell as a weldless fitting is pretty ******. I'm pretty sure I've had to do the same on my rig. Open up the washer to fit the...

I'd recommend you make use of relays or preferably contactors (generally higher current ratings) for a few reasons. One reason is for safety - if you run an ELV (ie 24v) control circuit you reduce the hazard of having LV touch potential in a switch likely to be handled in a wet area. Even using...

Mad bin out the back? We're talkin bout the Coles loading bay yeah?

That's what I thought.

Gotta say, the last time I was so perturbed about the lack of a period was about twenty years ago when I invested in cheap prophylactics.

Sounds like it might be true. Damn. This guy's talent helped define 90's music for me not to mention what he achieved with Audioslave. I starting to believe that God is collecting music legends for some kind of Biblical Rock Eisteddfod.

The element is a resistive load so polarity won't matter. Correct cable identification is important from a safety perspective but having another look at your pic I notice the red is already disconnected so my earlier assumption is probably incorrect. The connections in the plug top would confirm...

I reckon you're on the right track MHB and from what I can gather it's not so much a case of incorrect polarity but incorrect colour coding. It looks as though the active is wired in black. I wonder if this was wired in the states which might explain the use of black as an active colour but...

As above, rarely use the pick up tube. With a bit of patience I can get the o rings to drop in but if the tube becomes misaligned with the tap it's a guessing game when draining the fermenter as to where it sits. I haven't had dramas with the inner o ring but the outer would leak when pivoting...
