  1. Log Splitter Valve 80LPM (A&B 1/2" BSP) (P&T 3/4" BSP) Auto Kick Out WWW.APPROVEDHYDRAULICS.CO.UK The P81 is an on/off directional control monoblock valve that is designed as a log splitter valve. It is spring centered in one... The basic flow fit ones are sh1te, these are the best for log splitters.
  2. Ignore the above convoluted bs, it'll never be stock proof any time soon regardless of how much work you do and they will find a way through regardless. Get a local to flail it back into a straight line, get a fencer to run a new fence with stock fencing and plain wire top strands instead of barbed. Then do you laying/gap filling at your leisure as that's going to be a very long process and in 5 years maybe it'll be stock proof.
  3. It's his work from home Friday, he's probably still in his boxer shorts, leopard print dressing gown and bunny slippers.
  4. That's a bit of a different argument, personally I would agree as my boiler is 3 times more expensive. But with a world of fwits, DEFRA regulations are realistically the only way you'll stop idiots or at the very least financially forcing them to fit a certified fire as a starting point, firewood education has achieved nothing other than a busted flush. Maybe change the regs to say, if the nearest two neighbour is more than 50m of you it's fine to use whatever you want.
  5. Mostly disagreeing with you. Because you want everyone else to be mandated to be efficient, clean burning and ecological by wasting money on more pointless R&D to achieve something that's not possible, yet your happy to not be efficient, pollute and stay warm. The fire is about as efficient as it'll ever be, there will never be much more to gain and you have to design for the absolute dumbest person running a glorified pressure cooker. Backboilers aren't going to meet DEFRA regs
  6. A loading valve won't realistically cope with such a small volume of a stove, I've got something like 100l of water in a 1/2ton boiler and 1500l tank fail-safe as a loading valve has a safety thermostat that just allows it to circulate without power. You're average house with maybe 150l central heating system just isn't going to handle it. The simplest solution is the one that's used by banning them, r&d isn't going to make any difference.
  7. You don't need forced air fans on modern DEFRA approved stoves, that's why they're made with refractory stuff to burn hotter and vaporise the smoke, effectively a low rent pyrolysis as most are 5kw or less. It's also why they're not designed to slumber because it just falls too low temperature wise.
  8. Well a good pyrolysis boiler goes to 1200 Celsius, so vaporisers absolutely anything flammable, leaving pretty much next to nothing.
  9. They aren't designed to be a poncy room feature, they're designed to burn hot and hard and store the heating efficiently out of sight. That's partly why back boilers were stopped, it can't burn clean just ticking along slowly.
  10. Or just build a boiler room for a eco Angus 18/25kw and relax with 90% efficiency instead of it mostly being wasted.
  11. And what do you think happens to all this treated timber once the skip is collected?. As usual it's how it's burnt, providing you've a modern stove and not some coal burner from the 40s.
  12. Right, so in your utopia we stopped using plastic tomorrow morning 9am. What do we do with it all, don't you dare say recycle as that's just fluffy language. Dig up all the waste dumps and incinerate, as that plastic takes what a million years to just turn into yet more micro plastic and chemical wastes!.
  13. So basically you're advocating sitting in the dark, probably semi nude unless it's woollen. As the dastardly acrylic clothing is killing the planet ?.
  14. FFS, long waffle about burning wood and co2. Well seeing as it's the same co2 released burning vs rotting.
  15. Bit like those flyer magazines, great at first full of fire and promise then just smoulders and quickly goes out.
  16. Eori is for importing/exporting things, it's basically a register they can check and confirm identity, plus presumably it's a business purchase ?.
  17. I'd take the ferry personally, whilst customs are really arsey sending things out I bet they'll be a bit more forgiving the other way providing you have receipts etc. And a eori wouldn't be a bad idea.
  18. As has been discussed, the box of tricks takes a feed from the alternator to know it's speed probably by sensing the alternator amperage. Probably best checking for loose connections, but if the chipper is charging the battery the stress control box would be my initial guess and or the feed switches and emergency stops. Granted, last Kubota one I repaired had a black sensor next to the flywheel on the starter side of the engine and used SP4 shown in the diagrams.
  19. I think the term "father" might be a bit of a stretch deciding whose daddy must get tiring.
  20. Yawn, another long-winded load of TDS waffle. Not seen your russian oil and gas buying euro trash come up with anything better without needing Donald to wave the big stick for them. But I'm sure the college debate club will come up with strongly worded letter on the back of a fag packet to make Putin listen.

    Husky junk

    Sounds like they need storing with a bit of motor oil poured into the cylinder and cycled a couple of times. I'm guessing the cylinder rings have rusted as everything else should be aluminium alloys.
  22. It's got BNP so should be ok (British Nitro Proof) from Birmingham.
  23. If the council have said they are unsafe, they'll be a official letter. So wouldn't it be sensible to speak directly with the tree officer as they would be the one also granting you or even their own tree team permission ?
  24. I've no idea what you're trying to explain, as that picture is just a standard hydraulic valve setup. To make splitting quicker you just auto return the ram and touch the lever at the right spot, you could just bolt something onto the I beam to act as a stop if you're only doing 10". Providing it is strongly attached it'll trigger the relief valve and job done.
  25. C'mon he's never earned a days wage in his life. Clock punching maybe.
